an anti-sign is for the removal of the feature all together, it's a feature that should've never seen implementation, ok?

I anti-sign the proposal of removing the feature.

Its how blocking commonly works. Its not sloppy it works exactly as intended. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and GitHub all have similar implementation.

Especially good to have since ignored users on gamefaqs have commonly harassed the person who put them on ignore. Blocking solves that. It makes the entire experience cleaner. Im not ever trying to talk to someone who cant see me.

What he is saying in the topic was originally about making the blocking system easier. Me and many others talked about removing it instead and anti-signed it. If you anti-sign it, you are agreeing that it should be removed. So, I would say to go ahead and anti-sign. Mainly because the blocking system is crap and ignore was good enough. I would recommend reading the topic whether you sign or anti-sign, though...

These sites are different, though. I dont know much about GitHub, but the others actually have real names, pictures, etc. Its about your personal life. You could post that stuff here, but not everyone post stuff that could dox themselves. Not to mention, the whole post on forums like this is discussion. If you like echo chambers, censor yourself. But nobody here should be able to censor others. Plus, as explained in the other topic, it could be abused...

No. It switches the power. Now, instead of still harassing people who have or ignored, people can block and then harass them. For example, you could block someone, spread rumors, and claim that the other person isnt even defending themselves. You havent solved the problem, but move it. Also, it doesnt really solve that problem, anyway. With blocking, they could still harass the user. Why do you think blocking would stop that? All blocking does is give users the power to censor others. And thats why the mods didnt want to happen in the first place...

Sure, here is the list:

The end

I dont ignore people. If I dislike someone I am more likely to push their buttons and get them to ignore me instead. It ain't hard with some of the crybabies here, just ask ironborn. Shit took like 2 days.

Only person I ever considered was duckbear, but then I couldn't post a picture of his chubby little cheeks in every topic he makes where he calls someone else fat.

Some people in here got serious issues. If your ignore list is that long you should close your account.

Its not censoring. Its gamefaqs giving you some level of additional control over your privacy settings regarding who you share your data with.

Except you should only have control of your account. You shouldnt be able to censor others. Why should a topic Im posting in have random posts missing because somebody didnt like that I didnt agree with everything they are saying? Or why should I not be able to continue a conversation because I didnt say how the TC is right even when theyre wrong. And if you read anything in the other topic, youll see that it actually causes more problems in the game boards, as well... If they have to keep it, then make it need mod approval like someone else said. That way, people dont abuse it to fuck over others. But honestly, its not needed as ignoring should be enough for most people to get by. If you need to block because you feel so attacked even when not seeing the others person post, maybe try another site instead of lessening other users experience...

The problem is blocking doesn't really stop it. You said they were making accounts specifically to harass you. If that's true, blocking them just means they make another account. Because the true trolls and harassers don't mind doing it, it seems. And I did say if they decided to keep it, they could at least make it mod approved. The problem is while I trust some mods to make the correct decision, I don't expect them all to do the same. Plus, I feel ignore would still work. You don't see their post still. Blocking probably makes it worse. With ignoring, you don't see their post. But they'll probably still say whatever, but it doesn't matter. With blocking, they will most likely make another account, meaning you have to add another to block pile. But only after they harass you for a bit. In that case, ignoring would be better. Not to mention, as stated in the other topic, it can easily cause many other problems. Especially in the game boards. And could probably be used to actually troll others pretty hard...

it... does stop it tho? the whole reason they were able to function is because moderation mostly didn't affect them, and ignoring doesn't actually stop them from doing anything, it just stops me from seeing it (which also made it harder to mark for moderation as well). so, blocking does its job. and even if they do make another one, it's very easy to block it too and remove access to my posts. it's not 100% but it's done pretty well at dealing with my harassers.

i don't think it's good that i know more than you about this, but i do literally know more than you about this :P

But what does blocking do for you that ignoring doesn't? Especially if they are making more accounts to harass you? I don't really see a difference in how it helps you. Ignoring does the same thing in this case. You don't see their post. So please explain to me how blocking helps you more? Because I literally don't see it... Both make it so you can't see their post. Blocking makes it so they can't also see yours. Wouldn't that make them more likely to make another account more than ignoring would. Especially since you can't really tell when someone is ignoring you, but definitely can for blocking...

Since I've block the users that constantly told lies about my wife and I, the amount of posts I've and others have seen regarding those lies has dropped significantly, most likely due to the fact they can't see my posts or topics, removing their inability to derail anyone's topic.

Also if a new user starts to reiterate the same lies, it makes it more obvious that the same group of users constantly harass people through alts and they'll get blocked also.

Edit: Given that the moderators refuse to stop just blatant harassment, gives much credence to the idea that one of the moderators is either a creator of the alts or works with the creator(s).

Right now it's mostly all contained to one thread about you and in said thread me and others have thoroughly pointed out how their claims are clearly far more likely to be made-up than true. Sometimes those "ok?" guys bring you up in other threads but it's almost always ignored except from other members of your lynch mob.

Also, I personally like the idea of blocking. I haven't done it to anyone, but I love the idea of them not being able to see my posts if I'm going to ignore there's. Don't want your content limited? Don't get blocked!

Except that works with ignore, as well. You say you haven't seen any. With ignore, the same thing happens. Because I see it about as often as I saw it before... So ignore and block work about the same for the person using it, but has a bunch of other problems which make block a shitty system that fucks up more than it helps... Also, as TDC said, it's also that most of the post are in a specific topic. And if the TC of that topic s a person you have blocked, you won't even see the topic. Which is probably why you haven't seen it. But you could have done the same thing with ignore. The only thing block does that ignore doesn't is give other poster the ability to censor other accounts. That is literally the only "benefit". And that's not a benefit at all...

JigsawTDC posted...

Hard when some people like to block you for not agreeing to everything they say. I disagreed with someone and got blocked. If it's an alt account, it's usually fine since they aren't around. But when it's a regular poster, if fucks things up because now the topic has holes in it. You could easily end up posting the same topic again. And you can end up posting the same post even easier since you can't see the other post. Blocking system has no redeeming qualities at all and is probably used to troll more than actually helping anyone (especially since ignore works well enough)...

No. It keeps them from seeing any of my posts preventing them from bringing their made up crap about me to other topics.

Ignore - I can't see their posts but can still see mine and can still derail topics.

Block (which requires ignoring first) - They can't see my posts preventing them from derailing topics.

It doesn't, though. You can easily log out (on most board, including this one) to see post from users who blocked you. It just takes longer. So, they can derail topics as easily as they do when you ignore them. You can tell when someone's blocked you because the post number skips. In no way does blocking stop derailment more than ignoring. In both, you can't see their post. Since you can't see their post, the topic won't be derailed. So, ignore works just as well. Because they can see you post just as easily when logging out. Anyone who wants to do that will do that. Blocking just makes it so people have to log out in certain conversations just to keep it going. Or to find certain topics...

No there hasn't. You just haven't seen them. I still do. Which would happen with ignore. The only way you would see them is if you logged out, or if you took them off ignore. If you use ignore, you'll never see there post just as well as if you used blocked. Because whether Person A ignores or blocks somebody, it'll be the same for person A...

In both cases, you dont see them. For you, things would be exactly the same either way. Or are you saying theres a difference between ignore and block for the person who uses them? If so, what is this new feature no one seems to know about. Because from what I heard, the only difference between the two in for the person whos ignored or block. But that has no effect on you? So, whats this other feature that you seem to know about?

It's better if they can't even see my topics. It removes the temptation. Ignoring only prevents me from seeing their posts. I'd prefer they don't even see my posts so they can't derail at all.

If they go through the trouble of making more alts, oh well, I'll just block those as they emerge.

With the way trolls make alts, Im not sure it actually removes temptation. It seems like the opposite. If they know they are getting to you, theyll probably up the ante a little... And as I said, they can still easily see your post. Meaning they can still easily derail topics your in just by logging out. Unlike a few specific boards, you can log out to see other post and topics. And in topics that arent yours, they can easily tell when a post is missing... So derailment is just the same. Just they have to log out to see the post first. Then log in and do the old quote. Though, isnt there a block limit?

I dont know about the abuse claims but he blocked me so he could dodge an apology. Meanwhile he still keeps calling me seaman like the homophobe he is.
He changed the spelling from semen to seaman on the sly but it clear what hes pulling. I asked him to stop multiple times and he kept going and made excuses and lied his ass off.
If gets a free pass to callously shit on me I dont see why he deserves benefit of the doubt. Hes always here talking down to people. It started with just a request for a simple apology and he lold and started with excuses.
My problems with him couldve been fixed by him treating me like a human being. Everything since is all on him acting like hes totally the innocent party. So its easy picturing him being a manipulative jerk in everyday life.

The thing is I'm a nice guy. Really relaxed and stuff but based on what he posts, the way he acts and obviously his real life I'm not going to ignore what he is. No amount of blocking and ignoring will change that.
