Here's a better screenshot to use. Read the replies.

If you just can't do without seeing the posts of your enemies, log out of pinside and you can see all of them.

I really don't care. Am I any worse off now that I can't see Don's posts?

I already know they are all moronic. They'll just have to be moronic without me seeing them. The 7 people he hasn't "blocked" can enjoy them.

It's not a bug, it's a basic feature of the site:

I recommend turning on this option and moving on with your life:

I think he means that he hasn’t ignored the user, rather the other user blocked him completely. Which means he cannot see any of their posts at all. I tested this feature when robin announced it to see how it worked. It literally prevents the “blocked” person completely from seeing anything and everything you post on the site.

It shows up as “ignored user post” To those that have been blocked. Similar to if you ignored them.

I understand that, it’s all in the screenshot text I posted.

Then, that actually sucks if this is how it works.

Right, but block is new. I see the pic now. Storms here aren’t loading things properly.

Don apparently started a whole thread about me. I never read it, I have no idea what he said, and I can’t imagine ever caring. If people hadn’t posted screenshots I’d never know it existed.

Why would my life be at all enriched by reading his whining about whatever bug he has up his butt over me?

It’s just a forum. Anyone spending their life talking trash on it is a sad sack, count being blocked as a blessing. If more people just stopped replying to him it would be even better.

I find moronic comments useful in weeding out people I don't want to buy or sell a game with. And that includes any of their associates.

I don't block people as that is my choice. And I don't want it forced on me.

Wow I am living rent free inside all your heads. Just block me and you'll never even know I posted. Or you can just keep loggin off and back on to see and respond to what I posted.

This thread is basically full of all the people on this site who should be banned permanently. Aurich, punkin, mr68, crazy levi.

Those bastard ads show up on the bottom of your page...turn that feature off!

Those things are worth the supporter status to not see. Garbage.

Thanks for proving his point Don… you just can’t help yourself.

Another thread with no posts
weird glitch

It might be because their d0n posts bashing you?

I do not get this behavior at all, and I am blocking/ignoring users.
Try a different browser, maybe,

I'm not blocking or ignoring anyone, but I think I know where most of the problem is coming from.

Blocking people from internet talking= exposing yourself as a giant Facebook Karen style biatch.

Its Dandy Don..
Apparently he blocked me too....
I was wondering why there was a bunch of blank blocked quotes in a thread yesterday...
It does make a thread impossible to follow and understand what in the world people are discussing.

Looks like a real Flaw.

Poor Don must have had some very terrible things happen in life to become such a being.

I see this behavior too for what it's worth.

Maybe. Or maybe not, who knows. I've been using the regular ignore feature for years without any problem. I agree that bug is super annoying though.

lol, it's a forum, we're here to share our "attitudes". We're all here with opinions just BSing.

I agree. Ignore is fine but that block feature shouldn't be allowed on a forum where it can be used maliciously as seems to be happening in this case. In fact, that's the only reason I can see why someone would actually use that feature...so that they can be petty, mean, spiteful, etc... behind someone's back. That's not right. Logging off is not the answer. This should change, IMO... robin

It seems to me that the problem is a user is talking shit about people and probably should just be banned. I mean, is attacking other people and trolling against the rules or not? Blocking or not if they're being a dick just deal with them for that.

That's good point. There should be a maximum cap of how many people one person can block. Several people have chimed in around Pinside of how they were recently blocked by d0n.

I don't have a head count but it's a lot of people and would make a very popular thread to start and with a poll in it.

If you have 5 or more on your block list, you might want to evaluate yourself. And if you have 10 or more on your list, those people are not the problem.

When I saw all the blocked Quotes... I thought something was wrong with Pinside...
Then I thought I had accidentally Blocked someone when I Was Boozing and spinning Records..
As far as I know I haven't blocked anyone...
How do I check if I have anyone blocked ?
Or if people have me blocked. ??
Is there a special page I can't find ?

My version of ignoring someone is: immediately scrolling down to the next post

fucking bingo!

Thanks...
As I thought, I'm not blocking or ignoring anyone.

I tend to believe this is the answer to just about everything… change the channel, or turn it up.

He's doing it because everyone keeps downvoting his posts and messing up his ratio. Blocking them stops that. Problem is he just goes back to acting childish (which we can easily see not logged in) and meanwhile a fresh batch of people see it and downvote him.
