If people are being mean to you in their journal, please block them.

@Zeroguy Breaking news: Masculinity crisis! A guy gets trolled by a girl, complains about her to another girl.

What's next? Preety coerces Benton into implied consent and rapes him telepathically?! LMAO!

Well, I think you're all great and very talented.  

Spread the love.

I've always thought the Journals was just people sharing some of their random or deep thoughts. Maybe make it that people can't post in the journals outside of the person who started it unless they give permission? It could solve that problem. But yeah if someone is coming inside your journal starting crap blocking them makes sense.

Journal locking is a half-measure. Most of the drama occurs when somebody reads someone elses journal and takes offence to something. There will still be conflict PMs or in other threads. Blocking eliminates all that.

Blocking does not prevent people from talking about you. It will only make it less likely for you to read it when it happens.

So be it. All other solutions are shit in comparison. Journal locking doesn't ultimately prevent that either, only in your own journal. I've also thought about enforcing mutual blocking with warning points, considering I'm accused of being too passive.

What if mods could edit block lists of users? ?

Yeah, it's tough. Don't listen to those critiques, you can't please everyone. There's this saying: "The judge between kids hanged himself."

@Carl-Richard to be honest blocking doesn't help psychologically. If you open a journal yourself and you know someone stated something nasty in it, it's hard to simply go on. 

You know there was a thread dog piling on you. You locked it. It feels the way you felt at the time.

Blocked users don't disappear completely. Their comments are hidden but there's an option to show each one individually.

[Preety_India]

Blocking is not an effective option. The blocked user is not removed from your space like on Facebook where you'll never see that person again. They are only removed from your view. 

Plus others can quote the blocked user. And so you can see it again

Yes, I received warning points from some moderator named roy... Leo gura just laughed off what I wrote. But, this Roy character had to assert his dominance and presence and threw warning points at me, threatening me.

I see.

I also bet if we enforced mutual blocking, some of you would probably use multiple accounts to spy on each other. It's true; there is no effective solution. There never was. It's about what's pragmatic, and it does require some work on your part. Blocking (recommended or enforced) is certainly better than whatever half-assed solutions us mods have been coming up with up to this point.

Blocking on this site, is made in such a retarded way. Like, many many features on this site could be made better and more effective, and less obnoxious, even though it would take some extra work and money. But blocking takes the cake in it's non fuctionality.

The whole point of blocking, is to make that person VANISH. I don't want to see that person, or even a trace of that person, EVER AGAIN. Here, if you block someone, you are still forced to see their posts, their name, and you still see their posts - they only thing you don't see, is the content of those posts. So, I'm asking: what the fuck is even blocking for? What's even the point of blocking someone, if I still see their shit?

Right right right right right. 

You know I talked about this 2 years ago and still no change.
