I know you're making a big point of how people can log out and still read your posts also, the reason why this is brought up a lot by me in particular is in because other topics people always tell me and other people if you are logging out to view someones posts then you are not using the blocking feature the way it is; you are NOT SUPPOSED to log out and view these posts. this is such an idiotic statement to me that Im not sure why people are bringing it up. if im not supposed to log out and see someones posts, the site SHOULDNT ALLOW you to log out like this in the first place. I brought up an analogy of you arresting people and sending them to jail, then leaving the key accessible for them to unlock themselves out of jail because I felt like this is what these people are saying they would do, instead of keeping the key to themselves. --- If locking online play behind a paywall with irrelevant games is a service then bricking your phone and not removing the brick without a fee is also a service. <cite>BalloonBattle05 posted [p:972888715] in Why do peo...

Drrobotniks 04/16/23 9:10:07 PM #199:	I'm of the stance where blocking is absolutely neccessary, but at the same time, blocking does nothing because you can just hope on an alt(s) to get around it <cite>Drrobotniks posted [p:972888924] in Why do peo...
