After witnessing a large volume of trolls recently, specifically in the chat rooms, I was wondering whether we need to expose the number of blocks someone has received. This could be used as a measure whether to accept someones friendship or not.
Thoughts?
In one word - NO WAY- sorry lol that was two.
While some blocking is legitimate, some blocking is done because of ridiculous reasons.
When I was a chat mod, I saw many blocked because of a) they were new and didn't know the rules, or b) they wrote something that was blown out of proportion and then mob attacked and blocked, c) because they - wait for it - used the provided whisper button or d) dared to talk about sex in the bedroom![]()
Another example, I have been blocked myself, because I either have not talked enough to this one particular person or I did not jump/pawn all over them (this person is a serial blocker - one of many, I may add). If I had harassed this member, I would and could understand having it displayed for all to see but for now, I would not like every tom, big dick and harry to see it and would not like to be judged because of it - unless you add a 'reason for blocking' to it.
I may have been blocked also by others simply because I am a story verifier???
To have that or any of the other reasons I gave, then displayed on say our profile that we have been blocked is not really appropriate. I can see many will simply delete their account and create a new one.
Great idea but unjust for those who have been blocked for silly reasons. Also, be prepared for emails from members asking who and why they are blocked LOL when they suddenly can see that they have been blocked.
