If you and everyone who agrees with you blocks everyone whodisagrees with you, it creates an echo chamber, because the only people who can participate in the discussion are the people you allow to participate. That is antithetical to the purpose of a discussion forum.
This is a public forum. If you choose to ignore another poster, that’s your prerogative. But you don’t have the right, nor should you have the right, to limit what anybody else can see.
Or they find nothing because really, that is an extraordinary amount of effort to search for something in forums as active as this, and hope that whoever you’re stalking posts on more than one character.
Butt you do seem eager to allow people to keep harassing others on the forums as easily as possible
you’re aware that if I’m player A and I block player B it doesn’t mean player C can’t see what player A and B have posted right. It just means player A can no longer see what player B is saying
so you agree that what i said is possible, then, correct?
your counterpoint is that it would take a lot of effort to find the alts, but should someone feel compelled to put in that much effort, they would definitely find the alts…
also telling me that i dont understand logic… lovely behavior right here… all of you are just top shelf, top shelf indeed
i dont understand why you cant just be civil with people who disagree with you on the forums.
i laid out an extremely simplistic diagram of how alt finding would occur with account wide ignore, then discussed how that leads to harrassment in game… and you all just insult me since it proves you wrong.
It’s a private forum.
You have to active account to post here.
Agreed.
Your rights end where another person’s rights begin. Facebook, twitter, myspace, and every other social media platform allows you to regulate what people can see of your posts.
possible in the same way it’s possible to go through the armory searching every name you can and comparing colleections to find who that person’s alts are.
No this is not about blocking what other people see it is about blocking what the person choosing to ignore the other person sees.
We are not talking about or nor have we ever talked about preventing people that have been ignored from interacting with others.
Say if I ignore your account only I don’t see what you say and preferably you wouldn’t see what I say . However you would still be able to interact with other people in said thread.
That doesn’t seem to be terribly mature of you. You can’t possibly behave in such a juvenile manner and still actually believe you have any sort of moral high ground, can you?
The person I was responding to is advocating that if Player A ignores Player B, Player B loses the ability to respond to Player A’s posts, thereby preventing everybody from seeing what Player B has to say.
If Player A doesn’t want to see Player B’s comments, he has every right to ignore Player B. What he doesn’t have is the right to prevent anybody else from seeing Player B’s comments.
