I need it so bad you have no idea. Idk how making a website works though so I will just have to be patient.
I lurk on these forums and I see the types of people you are referring to and omg. I get why a block button is very desired. I don't join those convos because I do not have the energy to be confrontational, I'm too anxious for that. I do not understand how y'all have the energy to talk to them. Blocking will be a definite godsend rip

@matthew there's like specific repeat offenders too I just need a block button so they can ragebait into the void.
When I see the profile pictures of the repeat offenders in the "Recent Replies" section I'm like "not THIS dude again!" cus I know im going to read some BS. Yeah my problem could be avoided by me stop being a nosy bitch LMAO, but I also need to block these people too. I get you and others rip

Thirding. I can not wait for the block button, I think Ive told multiple friends about how I can not wait for a block button because of ragebaiters lol.
Personally I understand how tricky moderation can be I mean you don't want to actually just be too heavy with the ban hammer which is why I think a block and mute button is so awesome because then the ragebaiters can just argue amongst themselves forever till the end of time.
Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep I'm too transfem and too Latina for a site without a block feature

Coming on here cus idk where else to say this but, are the mods asleep or something?
And has anyone reported their comments? I haven't because I assumed the people in that thread would have reported offenders already, but I'm just wondering why some users are still being able to comment after the things they have said rip

yep +1 but thats not a surprise coming from me i think
it can be. so hard not to engage. to uno reverse some trolling.
but also its harder to like carry an actual conversation with someone when theres a bunch of trolls derailing every other post
I have indeed reported them already so I can't say. And I know that other person who was ragebaiting with the weird Ayn Rand profile picture got banned for a week, but then he just came back and immediately went to the thread of people just being transphobic to also participate in people being transphobic.
Dear gods yes. PLEASE!
That and the reset password option of course lol I miss my og gamer tag /lh
RE: @matthew
Yeah tbh I try not being too demanding on the mods cuz it's a very hectic time but like. If we got no blocking feature, they should proly be a little quicker on the draw
-- The Butch
on one hand maybe the forums needed a wee bit more time in the oven before opening its doors
on the other hand ive had a very many pleasant conversations with cool people so im glad the timing shook out as it did regardless.
Dang.. I don't have anything else to say I feel bad for all of yall for having to deal with that, if I had to deal with that I would be so stressed. I hope yall know I'm on yall's side even if I don't say anything
— matpat
I just think its a needed feature because I have noticed an extreme uptick in people with 0 posting history in any other thread coming from some other place to valiantly defend some douchebags honor lol.
Well that's uncharitable
If the shoe fucking fits, bitch
-- The Butch
I've got a decent bit of posting history here, there's no need to insult me because I don't hate Makin as much as you do
Then this ain't about you. But again. If the shoe fits.
-- The Butch
its kinda weird to assume a thread of people talking about how annoying some bad faith trolls are and how a blocking feature would be nice is actually about you yaknow
> are the mods asleep
nope we see every report immediately via discord and are actively talking abt the current happenings

please don’t spread the argument outside of the thread it came from, thanks.
