The block functions sets a dire censorship precedent for Poal. (See full discussion HERE).

I propose that instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

In this way, both parties get what they want.

That is a stupid ass rule. It's one thing if the user you block has their content stripped from your own experience, but to allow them to cut oithers out of the conversation with everyone else entirely is bull shit.

if some dick fuck that has blocked you has a huge post any day, your cut out of joining the discussion. It could have 300 votes, 90+ comments and your shit outta luck because OP is a faggot.

For a free speech site, it sure seems to have some shitty rules to stop people from speaking.

Yes, it is very concerning. It's shocking really, and it comes after some other strange things that I've seen within the past week or so here.

IT's PERFECT as is. INDIVIDUALS block whom they find offensive, etc. THE END. You reciprocate, it's like they NO LONGER EXIST. and that si FINE by ME. there are some ASSHOLES MORONS around here, not to mention the turds who think THEY control HOW you post and THAT is RELEVANT for ANY discussion in ANY thread.

BLOCKING cleans that shit up.

CENSORSHIP is Blocking what EVERYONE can see (whether or not they WANT that), not what YOU CHOOSE not to see for YOURSELF. YOU FUCKING DUMBASS NIGGER.

Ugh, I haven't blocked anyone, but just reading how you write makes me want to block you. I don't think anyone should have to see it, and I should leverage my station and subs to tell others to do the same so that nobody sees your words... see how that works?

Do it fag. It'll be the stupidest choice of your stupid life. Nigger.

WHomever you CAN draw into your stupidity network (too bad for them). but YOU do it. You don't have THIS website do it FOR you as YOUR personal sensitivity protector. You know the QUICKEST way to get yourself killed? MANDATE STUPIDITY for EVERYONE. YOUR BRAND. What is ABOUT to HAPPEN to the LIBERALS. This is YOU.

I've got some coupons for cranberry juice and build-a-bear around here somewhere.

That is PERFECT. YOU censor what YOU do NOT want to see (Experience) YOU do NOT bring ANYONE else into that CHOICE. Like paying attention in class or not (ie niggers), then choosing to BLAME whitey for YOUR failure. ALL CHOICES, or YOURS.

That is how it should be. I think that is how it used to be. Just keep the comments collapsed and greyed out a bit, and no notifications in your inbox.

Exactly. Free-speech is upheld, and the blocker gets what they want.

I have one user blocked. His shit still shows up collapsed, automatically. Did something change?

I uncollapsed 1 of his comments to see if I could read it. He called me "fat" which only accurately describes my pecker. Idk how he would know?

Maybe something changed, because you literally can't even reply if you're blocked.

Shit, must have. If there's even a 1% chance something of value is lost, I agree it's a bad policy.

All it takes it 1% to tilt a level world into chaos.
