What is the use of keeping a BLOCK option when the person whom you block can still view your topics, read your posts and even reply it?

But you can't see what that person says correct?

So then it shouldn't matter right?

It should be enough that the person won't be able to communicate directly with you (unless they are psychotic enough to create a sockpuppet account to send you a threatening PM).

It's really about self-control on both sides.

hmmm..but i wish it was more than just not being able to see what they say. Trolls may still continue talking rubbish about me under my topic or about my posts which will be viewable to others. I don't like that.

That's your problem.. not ours.

I personally want to see what they have to say.

Ya that's my problem and i didn't say it was your's that you are telling me whose problem it is. Everyone has got their own opinions on how things should be.

It doesnt matter, people dont care!!! Imagine someone slagging off someone, and the person doesnt respond, you'll just move on and never think about it again. it doesnt concern you so you dont give a f--k.
I love the block option, it makes them dissapear!! haha its brilliant.

Because not all of us have that same person on block so we like to read their input.

It ain't North Korea up in here and your topics are free content for everyone.

Ha ha, i got it.

The only thing I'm not liking about the block dealio is if you have blocks on a ton of fucktards the longer threads seem to be missing pages

Just a little annoyance, but otherwise it's perfecto
