If someone were to block me, for what ever reason, would I know it? Can you tell if somebody blocks you?
I think one person blocked me because I have replied to their threads a couple of times and get completely ignored. (Which is kind of hurtful considering the fact that I've only been nice and tried to help:sad14:) I think that would be the only way to know

I think some people don't bother to reply . On some thread many people answer the Op's post .

That's a possibility because I know I sometimes don't reply to every post when I get overwhelmed by many responses. But I'm pretty sure in this particular case I've been blocked. :lol:

Thank you for trying to make me feel better though!

A lot of times I’ll skim through and think I’ll go reply later, like I”m on my phone and can type faster on the computer at home. But I forget. So perhaps it’s something like that.

If someone has blocked you, that's usually more a reflection on them, not you. Don't take it personally. You're always kind and helpful that I've seen :)

I've gotten that feeling as well! I hope not, but even if that's not the case, if there is any helpful advice, other members may still be able to learn from it. :)

Sometimes even non members will pick something up. Before I joined this forum, I kept stumbling on it for info...which was why I joined.


The drama and stress of blocking is not for me. I would rather stick around and see what happens. I was only really irritated to the point of blocking once... this op must have been trolling us, and I just didn't have time for it. Like dear humans of the internet, this is a forum for birds at the end of the day. Many better options for getting your troll jollies off.

It's really odd that you could ever block any Staff member even on the old software. It is the staff's responsibility to watch the forum in general and I would think that would include any posts submitted by anyone at anytime no matter what. :chin:

If I don't care for something someone say that much I just scroll and move on. If you block someone you could potentially loose out on good info at some point.:shrug: :2cents:

No one could ignore an admin on the old software either ;) You could ignore a thread but not an admin

As far as I'm aware, no. I've blocked people in the past and they didn't seem any wiser :lol:
If you are Ignoring someone though, you used to get a message on the page of the thread that there was "Ignored Content" and you (the one Ignoring) had a choice whether to view that person's post or not.
