Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maxperson" data-source="post: 7337683" data-attributes="member: 23751">If there were any moderation needed at all, I could see the "without constant moderation" as a possibility here, but there wasn't and usually isn't.  And if there is, it rarely takes more than one instance of moderation as the behavior almost always stops.The downside is that I can no longer see worthwhile posts from the individual who forced me to block them.  I also can't respond to things they say in the discussion.  The thing about forums like this is that you are never having a discussion with one person.  This very side discussion is a prime example of that.  I commented on what [MENTION=1727]kobold[/MENTION] Boots did when he blocked me.  Someone responded to me(and everyone else in this thread).  I responded to that person(and everyone else in this thread).  [MENTION=6801328]Elfcrusher[/MENTION] responded, because we were talking to him as well.  That discussion went on for a while, and now you are involved.  If a person doesn't want to see my posts, fine.  I have no problem with that and there should be a way for that to happen.  Disallowing me to see and respond to their posts due to something that almost never happens anyway("almost constant moderation") is not a good reason.That's a pain in the ass and doesn't allow me to respond.  I'm trying to spy on them.  I want to see their additions to the conversation and be able to respond to everyone in the thread if I desire.I totally get that and people should be able to block those that they don't want to see.  I should not be blocked from seeing that person though, ESPECIALLY with all of the mechanical problems that this site has with regard to that feature.  It's not just that they have forced me to block them  I also cannot go into a thread that they have started to discuss with others.  I cannot use the links to go to posts when people quote me or give exp.  They don't work when someone who has blocked me is in the thread, so if I want to see who gave exp/laugh to a post, I have to slog through the entire thread manually.  I can't use the button to go back to the post I just quoted.  That breaks, too.And I don't think this would change if the person blocked could still see the posts of the person who blocked them.  They would still not be having a back and forth that is disruptive.</blockquote>
