[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7539197, member: 6779196"] I never block/ignore people on any forums, mainly because I don’t want to miss out on important context in a discussion, and partly because I find there’s value in being confronted with opinions that I disagree with, at least in the context of RPG discussion, which is the type of forum I frequent. This is the first forum I’ve been on where I’ve experienced issues of this nature, because when someone else blocks me, I can’t see their posts. It’s bizarre. One one hand, I get it. If someone blocks me and I can still see what they post but they can’t see what I post, they’re at a disadvantage. I could hypothetically ridicule the things they say without their knowledge. In a perfect world, moderation should prevent that - I ridicule someone, I get an infraction, if I don’t stop doing it, I eventually get banned. But as someone who has experience with forum moderation, I know that the reality isn’t that simple. So from a moderator perspective, it makes sense for blocks to be two-way From a user experience perspective though, it sucks. Anyone can block me for any reason, and suddenly I’m missing a significant chunk of most conversations, I can’t engage in certain threads at all, and my notifications are all but completely broken. Doesn’t really seem fair. Heck, I’d be fine with not being able to respond to the posts of people who blocked me, if I could just read a conversation without having to treat it like a puzzle with a dozen pieces missing and notifications actually linked me to the proper posts.
