You block me and you want me to like your post!!!!

A person would have to REALLY get up my nose for me to block them. If I was blocked by someone I would want to know why so I could work out the problem. Life is too short for pettiness.

If you are blocked, you can indeed like the original discussions of the person who blocked you, multiple times, but the system only registers the first like. Further un-likes and re-likes did not produce a notification.

I've never had occasion to use the 'Block' button and I'm not sure whether anyone has blocked me, so I don't have first-hand experience of the way it works. What you say is interesting, however. Although the blocked person can't respond to any of your posts (discussions, responses or comments) and can't message you, they CAN still respond or comment in the same discussion as you (and, I believe, can still 'mention' you in a post by using the 'at' symbol before your username). If you really are still having trouble with someone you have blocked (from personal slights/comments/'flaming', &c.) you should definitely report those instances. I was hoping that I'd be able to find a list of those who have blocked me and of those that I've blocked. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be available. Maybe @goaskalice could comment on that - and possibly add it to the 'wants' list?

i hope it doesn't happen here but i was actually asked by a person on another site not to comment or come to her discussions, which was making her money from my comments, reading, etc. and i had never said anything wrong to her nor did she ever give me a reason for her request. luckily later on they allowed blocking which i did her for sure.

There is only one person that I know of on this site that I would not respond to in any way.... She caused me a lot of trouble before and also a friend or five. Lucky for me, some saw the light and others stood up for me. It truly showed me who to trust. Anyway, I would carry on as I always do. If I liked something someone said, I would hit the like button. I can agree with someone while not being on their good side. I don't have the strength for stupid, petty stuff.

If you are not a saint, you can come back one hour later and unlike it. Then you can change your mind and like it again, and an hour later unlike it again. Then...

It would interesting to know if anyone has ever blocked me at some time. Since you say that you can still like a post then I assume that you can still view and read the post but not add a comment. This feature would only be of use for blocking spammers or those who add abusive comments, for which it would make more sense to report them rather than simply block them.

I would but I can't find the smiley with the middle finger extended.

I did not know this could be done.*thinks* may come in useful! lol.

Wait for my political posts and then I will let you know how being blocked works. lol

I have no idea if I've ever been blocked. How do you find that out/ When you try to message someone or comment on their posts or comments? How does blocking differ from permissions? For example, I may stipulate that only people I follow can message me, but that would not block them in other ways.

I still have to discover the use of that button. By the way, I am happy once again to see everyone around.

I have never blocked anyone..yet. I am not sure if someone has blocked me either

Same here. I have never been blocked or blocked someone. I never use that function because it's ok to have a opinion that doesn't go on my way. None of us are perfect. So even if that idea doesn't go in my way, that could be right. I prefer you send this person a messege. Ask that person why he/she blocked you. Work this problem out that way.

I have never blocked anyone and if they have blocked me i have no idea..i only go to people i know and who seem to like me for some odd reason...maybe the brownies

It's crazy! I have not yet experienced that, though.

At the other site , i blocked a spammer . I know that he is just by briefly reading his post which is so nice , when he came from a country that was formerly banned there .

I didn't know we could be blocked. Do you get a notification that a member blocked you?

Since I am new, I have not yet been blocked by anyone. But if so happens in future, I would like to know from that person, the reason I was blocked for. Ans then, respond accordingly. Because, I may have knowingly or unknowingly committed a mistake.

I've also been blocked by the person in question and have no idea why. I"m not stressing over it in the least but it's weird that so many people are on the block list
