Is it possible to put the same forum block over here as well? Please and thanks.

It would be nice to have people I have blocked, not quote me to be permanently blocked. Period.

I think I have something working for this.

Gav, as much as I admire all the hard work you do around here. I find one small problem with the forum block. The way it is set up is, In my humble opinion flawed. I noticed that the block isn't two ways, as in, if I block a member I cannot see what they wrote, but they can see what I wrote.
Perhaps I am missing the point of the forum block being set up as it is. But I thought it would be more like, they can't read what I wrote either if I had someone blocked.

How about one where the people you have blocked can't look at your profile, stories or forum posts? That would fantastic! Permanently!

I think it would be more useful if we could actually choose the content and context in which we block people. Blocking people on the forum may seem like a great idea, but in reality, it makes me even more frustrated than when I could see the damned posts because the control of the content has been taken away from me.

It bothers me that we ever need to block someone. We are all adults here, but everyone here is intelligent and often opinionated. Some people have a hard time dealing with the conflict that may ensue and use blocking as a way to remove themselves from the intellectual fray. If it is someone's choice to do that, I will not criticize. I just am hopeful it is not me being blocked. I think as a site we should provide whatever service possible (Gav knows what is possible and practical) as long as it make a member more comfortable. I personally can not imagine blocking a fellow member myself, but that is just me and I would not judge other's actions just because they are different.
Thank you Andy and Justine for your input. I agree with you in many ways, but not all. That does not make me think less of you as friends or people. I find our differences to be a good thing. Knowing you both have made me a better person. You have both improved my life with your wonderful literary work and your friendship.

Nods, you have a point hun. I shouldn't judge but I am only human and it sometimes can't helped. I do agree heartily.

Also I can see someone who I blocked post when someone else quotes them. So like, yeah. Also as much as I know how some other feel about the blocking system, it is necessary, if not to impose some sort of peace, but some self control at least.
However of anyone really wanted to, and someone will because there will always be someone who just wants all the attention, to just log off see what was said and then reply to it under the pretense that we can't see it.

Waiting for Gav to work his magic or tell me what can be done.
Thanks!

I am guessing until these are fixed or otherwise, it is on the honors system to not be a stalker.
