with the very greatest of respect. why? could you not simply scroll past the offending story?. I mean is it truly that bad you cant even bear to look at it?.
i really am genuinley interested TooShy and i mean no disrespect.
lol....hmmm my competitive streak makes me want to scroll past A LOT of heller good writing on here.
Quote by TooShy678
I don't take the question as disrespectful - it's a valid one. The problem is entirely my issue, but this particular writer often posts things that trigger very negative memories, and it sometimes causes anxiety attacks. The member also posts in tons of different categories, so I can't just hide categories to mitigate it. It's nothing against the author, I've never read anything s/he has written, but the one-liners are enough to trigger it.

You can easily avoid the one liners. Look at the avatars first.
I'm respectfully suggesting that If something such as a one liner can trigger such negative memories, perhaps avoiding adult sites is something you could think about?
I'm not trying to be rude and I understand exactly what you mean. You are goi g to see similar words on other stories though. Blocking one writer won't solve your problem.
It just seems like a huge task for Gav to consider.

You'd think you of all people would be sensitive to someone having a negative reaction to a one liner on the Internet... It hardly takes much more than that to have you grace us with one of your ridiculous outbursts.

I'm not surprised you of all people had to comment on a forum that had nothing to do with you, just to start a fight.
Quote by Magical_felix
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize a forum had to have something to do with me before posting. Maybe you can educate me on the criteria I am to use in the future to determine if a forum has anything to do with me. Maybe you can start by telling me what it had to do with you before you posted. You know, to help me understand when I'm allowed to post.
Quote by Belthazor
You're allowed to post whatever you want, so long as you don't act like a petulant child, trying to start fights for no reason because you don't like someone else on here, rather than doing the mature thing and blocking them to hide their comments or just... oh, I dunno'... being a f*cking adult and letting it go.
Last I checked, attempting to start stupid squabbles online for no reason was something teenagers with no friends or lives did with their free time.
That help you understand better, pumpkin?
Quote by Crapbag123
I agree. It would be good. There are some authors who just churn it stories and they're just not worth going near. And your reason is even better.
Quote by Annamagique
Whilst I fully sympathise with anyone who may have issues with certain stories, surely it is grossly unfair to block an author's work from the whole community. No author can please everybody so it would end up as a site with no stories, surely?
There is no point in submitting a story only for it to be hidden from view. That would be like banning advertising.
I mean no offence but that is my opinion. There are certain stories I find offensive but would never try to block them from the rest of the community.

As mentioned above, we're not saying block it for everybody, just allowing you to block someone for yourself, in the same we you can on this forum.

That doesn't work. You can block them but they only have to quote you and it shows up on your timeline. If someone wants you to see something, that's all they have to do. Somebody put a lot of work into that feature for nothing. It's happened in this very thread. Irony.
Quote by kiera
IMHO every author deserves to be on the home page and get viewed. If you don't like it don't read it that's what I do.
Quote by kiera
I am sorry If I come across as rude here but why should Gav waste his precious time working on a block feature when you can simply just not read it?

Quote by BiMale73
That can be said for most blocking features. Just skip over the posts/replies in the forum and your timeline. The main difference is that stories are probably not directed at someone, where forum posts can be. An author is a category by themselves in a way, so why not be able to block those?
Personaly I'd rather see available development time spend in moving from categories to tags, but I don't see why this blocking request is so much different from the blocking options we already have.
(got any change?)
Quote by kiera
It sounded to me that the OP didn't want this particular author on the home page???

Well, a person could be mature enough to scan right by whatever bothers them without making a fuss. Really some of this stuff seems like it should've ended by middle school.
