@Pizzamorg I think you've hit on something crucial there - if a "blocked" person wants to see the entirety of a conversation then all they have to do is log out - thus rendering the functionality of the feature somewhat redundant. I'm blocked by a few people. Couldn't care less.
yeah pretty much, it just creates a nuisance for the person who is blocked so I guess bully for the blocker, but it is an nuisance you're just forced to accept cause you need to see the posts to understand the flow of conversations if they are a regular or you can't engage with the forum at all.
@Yousef- f*** 'em. If people are making you feel bad by being this small minded then f*** 'em.
I mean, if they first would do you the courtesy of stepping up and talking to you face to face (via the Internet, natually 😅) to maybe have a conversation about why they are doing it, especially if it's someone you were getting along with previously, then okay, that's one way to go about it. But, come on, that's a weak move.
I barely know people on here, there are some I will interact with more, but we don't really know each other that well outside of some throw away comments about games and stuff, but it still pisses me off how weak people are with sh** like this. If they can't have a conversation with you about how they feel if they think you did something wrong (I very much doubt with 99.99999% accuracy that you actually did anything wrong to them anyway, and they are just being a little b****) then it is them that should "do one" from the forum, and not you.
hopefully soon enough you will get past their weak action to block you and come back stronger than ever.
Take some time, but hopefully you feel you can return and carry on as normal at some point.
And if the person in question sees this... hey, grow the f*** up and talk about why you feel the need to do this as it has clearly affected someone 👌👌👌
I very much don't like to get serious on the internet, it's basically my shtick at this point, but sometimes people need a good slap down and a long look in the mirror, the pretentious c***wombles. Hopefully some of my silly swears brought a bit of a laugh to you, anyway.
Here's some emoji's loosely themed around the person i'm hopefully baiting into maybe having a good think about how their actions can affect people
💩😛💩😛💩😛💩😛💩😛
And having checked for more detail, maybe it was just an error by the user, as they seem like the least malicious of people around here and a pretty sound chap. I hope so, anyway. But my post can sit as a general take on general people being people in general. Because in general people can be f***ing bleh 😛
Alright time for an actual post and not insulting the incredibly childish post above mine
I've been here for over 5 years now (... Damn has time flown by) and seen a lot of people come and go, take breaks and such @Yousef-
Maybe It's just me but before you came along it seemed like the forum was... Stagnating. People were posting sure but it felt a little... Sterile at times I guess?
You've really livened this forum up the past few months, bringing everyone together and just being an absolute joy.
Hopefully this little break clears your headspace and that we'll see you sooner rather then later. Take care hon!
@Yousef- I too have enjoyed our interactions, and I hope that is comforting for you to know, along with the obvious fact many people have expressed likewise.
Online discourse is hard enough to interpret a person’s real intent (I think I heard that 90% of communication is non-verbal) and even in the best of circumstances it’s sometimes difficult to convey exact meaning to another person, but add to that cultural differences we all have living across the globe, and knowing English is not your native language and so it’s highly likely that misperceptions abound from all sides. Hang in there, and do what’s best for you if you need time away, but certainly continue to engage with the community when you’re ready. I feel like it’s a nice outlet for most of us who share common passions. 😄

@Yousef- Just seconding what others have said really. I've been fairly quiet on the site recently, following a manic year, but your contributions have been very welcome. Just be you and ignore the blockers. I've never used the block feature and never will. No idea if anyone has ever blocked me.
Lol @HallowMoonshadow that's the first time I've ever seen one of your comments get removed, it must have been bad
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Yousef- I missed it! Hopefully you are doing well. Don’t feel too down, okay? Play lots of fun games over the month! I really enjoy chatting with you so I’ll miss your comments for a while. I am hoping the person blocked you by mistake.

I mean... I have quite the potty mouth when not in teacher mode @nessisonett. I usually bite my tongue if something goes on here cus if I didn't... It'd be scorched earth otherwise and I'd immediately get hit with the ban hammer

@HallowMoonshadow Utterly appalling. What would you say to your pupils if they used such revolting language? 🤣
@Ralizah The difference in usage of the c word and how offensive it is, is honestly the biggest difference between North America and other English speaking regions. Those twee British insults really are funny, though.
