Someone here, fairly recently, reminded me that 'we're all adults here,' and blocking others should not be necessary.
I know there are always those cases in which it can't be avoided, but what do you think?
Personally, I don't have anyone blocked. I don't expect to get trolled, even though I'm putting it out there.
What do you think?
I have three famous stories, 2 recommended reads and have come in the top ten in two competitions~ Come in and make yourself at home.

I have no one blocked. Have not felt the need to do so yet. Probably never will. I expect that if I ever block someone it will more likely be that their posts just annoy me in a spam like fashion than that they somehow managed to offend me in such a way that I feel the need to create me some safe space. While some things might offend me, I'd rather face them head on than ignore them/go out of their way.

i'm definitely in the minority here. i used to spend quite a bit of time in the chat rooms and found that blocking people was a simple solution for a temporary problem. for instance, i visit pic rooms from time to time. sometimes people post pics that aren't exactly my cup of tea - but don't break lush tos. rather than complain about something they have every right to post, or disable pics all together, i simply block them. they are allowed to continue to post freely and i don’t have to see it.
i've never blocked anyone in the forums and have rarely had to block people due to personal issues. in these cases i see blocking as the final step.
I block people also because of the pictures they post in the picture rooms. If there was an option just to block their pictures at that particular moment it would be great.
I had an individual writing extremely nasty remarks to my stories on another website. When they started showing up on this site and doing the same, I blocked them. I see that nobody is blocked now, so must have gone away.
I have three blocked. Two are men who harassed me without letup when they would see me in a chat room or online. It was incessant and they wouldn't take no for an answer. And I blocked one person who was either jealous or spiteful of my relationship here and would solicit me with random untruths about my SO. All three made me feel hunted really, like I had stalkers. I'm grateful for the ability to turn off the unwanted noise.
I have a shitload blocked. Mostly from hanging out in the chat rooms and getting grossed out though. I don't think anyone on my block list is for any reason other than that.

I have several blocked. As Billy says, mostly from hanging out in the chat rooms. Some post crap that i dont want to see or are involved in topics of conversation that i have no interest in, so I block them and carry on chatting to others. A couple because they are just annoying fakes.
None. Perhaps because I don't chat or I'm an older guy or something, but I don't seem to attract the degree of unwanted attention that would necessitate using the block feature.
nope, way too much trouble
I've only blocked one guy in my time here, back when it only affected private messages.
I did one point in time but I got over it, unblocked them, and choose to ignore them.
I don't have anyone blocked. I now have it set up so, to talk to me privately, you have to be a friend of mine. Recently, I allowed whispers from everyone, but I've decided not to do that, for no reason other than to decrease my vulnerability. That would, I think, dramatically decrease the possibility of getting annoying/creepy messages from people, decreasing the need to block along with it.
I've never felt the need to block anyone on Lush or any other site.
Only Sprite. She just won't stop flirting with me.
just kidding! depends, some of them i do unblock after leaving the room. others remain because, as you know, pic rooms tend to have regulars and their aesthetic rarely changes.
