I’m honestly surprise that this ins’t a thing yet.
There’s an individual (more than one if I’m honest, but one in particular) that I find both rude and annoying, and I wish to be able to post without feeling like I’m being constantly harassed by them.
I can report their posts, yes, but that only does so much if someone simply spams you with nonsense and/or rudeness.
Why can’t we block people from seeing our posts on forums. I’d prefer to not feel like this person is following my profile just to continue being rude to me on every post. But I cannot report their profile directly, and I can’t block them, but I want to participate in discussion without having to deal with 1-2 people’s rudeness.
You can mute members in the forum profile preferences section if that helps, under notifications I believe. This will prevent you receiving notifications about any actions they do on your posts, such as replying or liking.
That only mutes notifications. I’d rather they not see my posts at all, or be unable to reply to them, or to quote me. But not being able to see would be best tbh.
It’d be a nice feature, even though it would greatly diminish my ability to annoy people. There are certain essay writers here who blatantly ignore what people are saying to them and just continue spamming you with (incorrect) points as if you want to continue reading thousands of words of them being wrong.
That’s pretty much what’s going on. This person will quote a ton of people and write an essay of incorrect opinions just to annoy everyone. I’ts doesn’t technically break the rules, so they get to troll constantly.
I do think this would be a good thing, even if they just gave you a certain number of people you could block. I haven’t been harassed or anything but I do get that some people on here have.
I was thinking more like, why can’t we have friends here on the forums? I want to know when people post things too, and be friends with people across platforms like Xbox, PSN, and PC.
I think that a blocking feature that prevents you from seeing the blocked user’s posts is a possible feature. It might even be available but disabled by blizz. I don’t think any forum has a feature where you can block other users from seeing and replying to your posts tho.
Free speech has nothing to do with it. On the vast majority of sites out there, if I own an account, I can block others from being able to contact me or monitor my activity, not just on my profile, but within the community as a whole.
This is about privacy, yes, even on an open forum. As is, Blizz cannot protect people from harassment. Someone get’s butthurt that you outsmarted them in a debate, so they resort to trolling and dogging your account and posts, even when you aren’t replying to them. That should not be allowed.
Me blocking someone doesn’t infringe upon their free speech. They can still make posts and read posts. They simply wouldn’t be able to interact with me.
Is one of these people a certain Hanzo worshipping crazy who think that consulting the big bad list of logical fallacies and describing everything you say as subjective fiction and everything they say as hard objective truths?
Tbh it’s hilarious, just remember to have fun with it and it won’t drive you crazy.
That’s a slippery slope fallacy right there. Nevertheless, Blizz could put care and balance into a blocking feature so it’s not abused. I’d say not to poo poo the idea until we see how it turns out. Also, as I said, those flag doesn’t work. If someone isn’t technically breaking the rules, and just harassing you by hitting up all your posts, and not explicitly using mean words, just following your profile around… Blizz won’t do anything about it.
Edit: I actually kind of do and don’t expect them to show up on this post soon. But maybe not since I’m clearly calling them out.
Only post by post. You can report a post if it falls under certain categories, but you can’t report or block a profile as a whole. Again, if their post isn’t explicitly against the rules, Blizz doesn’t do anything.
No, this one is part of the Brigitte Brigate, who thinks she’s A-OK and not OP. But that’s rather outside the realms of this discussion.
