Do you have people blocked? Why or why not...
Gingerbread Lover
Yes, I have quite a few people blocked. The main and usual reason is because I just don't want to see what they have to say, due to their manner or way of speaking to/about people. The odd one or two is because I find some of their (deleted) views abhorrent (most of whom are no longer members). The block can make an individual's forum life more enjoyable by filtering out things (people) they don't wish to see, like choosing a narrowed-down search engine. We all have choices, and it's mine to use it. I'm happier that way, as, no doubt, others are in not using it. 
When I first joined, I did block people who scored me lower than a 4, not because I minded other people seeing how crap my stuff was, but because I didn't want to be reminded of what I already knew.BPn22iJlJWt5Yimd I thought being deemed "average" was terrible, but I revised that reason a long time ago, and now I don't even remember to look, if I do manage to write. I write when I am able to. If people enjoyed reading it, that's wonderful, but not my reason for being here.
A few months back, I blocked somebody because I could no longer bear to read their forum posts, but still valued their feedback on some work. I decided, in the end, that if I couldn't stand their nature to the point I found it upsetting, then I should be pro-active, regardless of one benefit. I think we're both the better for it.
And finally, I have some blocked because the nature of my medicine makes moving avatars, signatures and pictures so great a distraction that I struggle to concentrate on the letters and reading. It creates severe visual disturbances that cause headaches, and my eyes to roll around like Cookie Monster's.
I have to cover the screen where the emoticons are, too. I mentioned it in the forums once, and one asshole deliberately changed their avatar to prove them the rim-cheese they are. I was hoping the block would hide the moving personalisations, but it hasn't yet (and in any case, only applies to certain members' accounts, not all). I live in hope...

Nobody... yet. Someone has to really push my buttons and likely more than once to get on my blocked list.

Yes, because they got on my fucking nerves !

I block people I don't want to talk to, had issues in the past. I've had a great deal of stalkers from other sites who eventually find me here. In the past I used to block people that low balled my stories with 1's and 2's or left me horrible comments.
I've also blocked people who constantly quote me or attack anything I say in forums.
Since I've disabled scoring, I unblocked everybody and just have about ten people who I don't wish to speak to any longer.
For me, I'm a lot happier with no longer having scoring on my work. There's no need to block anybody anymore.
Hugs,

I've recently blocked one person because I dislike the very crude and narcissistic stuff he considers to be poetry
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i

I sure do block people, i'm easily triggered to respond to nonsense. I don't like to see people being harassed and sites like this tend to bring the worst out in some people. I much prefer to just not see those people... The block feature is a great tool when utilized properly, and keeps lush an oasis for me...
Well, I agree it should not be necessary, but unfortunately, this is still on the internet where people can be trolls and constantly talk shit about you, like in the forums. I, just like everyone else have my limits before I say 'Fuck it.', and block them. Just like Lady Mysteria, I had a few people bombing my stories and leaving very mean comments too. Since then, one of them delete their account, but there are still some with accounts. So, people are who they are, just like the jerkoff that lives above me. He constantly stomps his feet and makes other noise too. He knows I hate it, but he still does it. People will do what they want to do until they can't get away with it anymore. So I say, if you have to block them, then block them. Why let people put a terrible taste in your mouth for Lush? If it is just them, then block them and go on with your life.

I have one person blocked and while I've considered unblocking them from time to time, I have not and probably never will. Blocking this person has brought me peace and the ability to visit the forum without dealing with their bullshit and drama. Honestly, I do wish the block was a bit more like Facebook's where whomever you have blocked can't even see your profile, but I've accepted the block just the way it is. At least it keeps the bullshit off my timeline and that's huge becasue it prevents shit stirring.

About 50 - 60 at a guess. Members who would not share their chocolate biscuits or tea with me... just how rude is that... not putting up with it... full stop!

I have no one blocked. I'm not a woman so I don't get "hounded" by messages. I do get messages from guys but when I don't want to play they become disinterested so no more contact. So, I don't have a problem with getting messages (read.. I hardly get any.. hahahaha)

I have far more 'blocked' than 'friends'. I don't visit the chat rooms very often these days, but that was the source of many blocks. Being greeted with 'dick picts' wasn't my preference. Lately, my blocking activity is much less, though I still employ that tactic as needed. Now, if Lush just make a blocked individual COMPLETELY invisible I would love it.

I have people blocked for the same reasons. Too much time spent in chat rooms when I first joined. Some people can be quite persistent and I am far too nice at times so it's easier to block the stubborn ones. That said I have an entire folder on my computer of unsolicited dic pics.I used to just delete them but now I have this idea that they might make a great coffee table book. I've even nicknamed some of them. A girl needs a hobby, lol. Oddly I have never received an unsolicited picture of any boobs or "cats". Mmm, now I'm wondering why. And no that is not an invitation or I will have to expand my book.

Gillian,
I just posted a couple of cat pictures to your profile earlier today. One was soaking wet and the other just naughty.

It WOULD be a coffee table book - IF you printed them at the, um, apparent size. As I've said before, though, I'm pretty sure some males confuse centimeters with inches.......

So if you block me I'll become COMPLETELY invisible? Please, block me! I have always wanted to be invisible.
I have never blocked anyone, or even unfriended anyone. Only a couple people here have ever gotten on my nerves, and I just stayed away from the threads they tend to visit for awhile.

You? Invisible? I'd never want that. Now, maybe you want to be indivisible, and that would certainly be understandable.
Staying away from threads that those one, um, prefers to not encounter is really not the best way for me, because I enjoy those threads. Hence my preference for having them be invisible. Well, that or sending them into the Phantom Zone.

I had an individual writing extremely nasty remarks to my stories on another website. When they started showing up on this site and doing the same, I blocked them. I see that nobody is blocked now, so must have gone away.
I have had something similar happen to me. I also have met some people here who are just plain nasty and do NOT go away.
So I block them, and move on.
Every so often I review the people I have blocked and unblock many of them.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
Quote by noll
I have no one blocked. Have not felt the need to do so yet. Probably never will. I expect that if I ever block someone it will more likely be that their posts just annoy me in a spam like fashion
This is the only time I'd block anyone, too. I don't really have a lot of drama with people, and when I do get into an argument over something, I'm usually able to get over it quickly. So, say what you like, just don't incessantly spam me.
Don't believe everything that you read.

I agree.
I think men here often have a different experience. Much like real life, sadly, women are going to get a lot of unwanted sexual attention. And yes I know where I am, but no should always mean no no matter where I am. It's easier to block someone and they usually get the message. If they don't them I'll report them. Someone being annoying in forums or disagreeing with me does not cause me to block anyone.

But, you just announced that you're working on a book, filled with unsolicited entries, on a site where the biggest dream of a large part of the users is to ever get published

I was joking about that, perhaps it did not come off that way. My humor may not always be obvious.
Although I am not sure that the people who have sent me those pictures have any interest in being published or rather having their junk published. I really have no idea. I suppose I could ask them but that would require I unblock them and I really don't need anymore pictures. I prefer to just read here and use my imagination.

Reflecting upon the comments in this thread, and thinking about my own experiences, I realize that I've never blocked anyone who I had taken as a friend, nor anyone outside a chat room encounter. That does seem to be a fairly common theme here. Perhaps just fortune, but I've not been hounded by unsolicited emails, so that has not entered into it (though I understand that "entered into it" is often the subject of such emails).
