I think I've been blocked and have no idea why!

Have you been blocked on myLot? I recently noticed that a member's name would show up in my notifications, but I never could find her comment. It was a bit of a mystery, but I just read one of her posts and saw that I wasn't allowed to comment. I would like to message her and see if it was just a misunderstand, a mistake, or is she actually angry with me and why. But I can't do that either. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: If you blocked me, it's okay. I'm just curious why. If I get a lot of people saying they're the one who blocked me, maybe I need to rethink my writing!

Every time I see these "blocked" posts, I make sure I am not the culprit - because I have blocked unintentionally a couple times. Otherwise, I will never block anyone.

How can you check if you blocked someone?

@paigea @1creekgirl I think if you go to someone's profile page, the word "block" will be red if you blocked them (I can't remember the color), but it will be highlighted someway (just the same way you know you are following someone).

There is a glitch, I asked to Admin to add a warning when people press that button, but it's still not done. I discovered two days ago that a user had blocked me by "mistake", she did not even realized that she blocked. I was friend with another user here who blocked me and I do not know the reason, may be she does not even know. We should join a petition to BAN the Block Button.

@1creekgirl Exactly, we should receive a message informing that we have been blocked and the one who blocked should receive a warning asking if the intention was to block or if it's a mistake.

Or at least give you a way to know who you may have blocked accidentally.

I discovered I accidentally blocked someone when I saw my name mentioned, but couldn't find the conversation. Come to find out he was wondering why I blocked him and I had no idea I did. I still have no idea how it happened. They very well may have no idea they blocked you.

If I message you her name, will you message her for me? It really isn't important, but I want to know if I offended her by mistake. Thanks.

That last sentence made me laugh! I have a bad memory and so if somebody blocked me I wouldn't know. They should send me a PM so then I would know. If I get a lot of PM then I would feel really bad so don't send me any and I'll stay a happy myLotter.

@1creekgirl Then I better behave as I would not want to say anything where someone would want to block me, unless they just didn't like me for some reason.

@1hopefulman You know, as long as we are not evil or vile, we should be able to write our opinions. Certainly not everyone agrees with each other, but myLot's a great community.

@1creekgirl The only way to learn could be to ask PM to a friend to PM the person who blocked you.

Hope you find out. Quite likely it's an accident if they are still commenting on your posts. I was blocked and found out they intended it. Oh well.

I cannot imagine why someone would block you, but I see you have asked someone to check on it. I hope I have never blocked anyone by accident. I wonder if there is a way to tell? Mostly the type of person I would probably block would be the type of person who would get banned here. I will admit to blocking one person who was trying to get me to sponsor him to the US and give him money.

It seems you can ask another member to message them and ask if they meant to block if. If you think it might be a mistake you could do that. It seems it is very easy to block someone if you are posting on a phone.

@1creekgirl There is someone who keeps commenting on my posts after blocking me. I wish I could tell them that I can't see or respond to their comments because they blocked me. . . and why are they even reading my stuff if they blocked me?

This blocking feature is kind of odd. They can respond or comment but you cannot see it and some take advantage of that and try to be rude. You can ask anyone here to message that person to find out the reason.
