Is it normal that i can still see the posts of the people i blocked?

I'm not naming anyone nor am I trying to start a fight. It's just something I noticed. I blocked because I got tired of them posting the same stuff over and over yet I can still see their repetitive posts.

I cant see their comments on those posts or any other posts, which is really great. I like that part.

Has anyone else on here had this problem?

    Only time I block is if idiots spam PM me, but that's only temporary and hasn't happened in a while...in fact, I don't think since he changed how blocking works. Blocking used to only affect PMs and not the entire site.

    I can understand the logic behind why you've said you block people...but honestly, it's such a badly implemented feature on here that there's no point in using it the way you said you do...and in practice, it really is only utilised by whiny little spoiled brats who don't like being told they're wrong (not calling you one, just...generally).

    Oh...and raisinbran who claims he doesn't block...he's blocked me haha. On most of his known alts. Sometimes he unblocks for a bit then reblocks.

    You blocked them; they didn't block you.

    I don’t block people bc I’m not a punk ass. Or at least not a punk ass who gives a fuck for what other people say.

    I thought when you blocked someone, you couldn't see their posts nor could they see yours.

    Not sure. I wouldn't think you would see their posts.

    I used to block people but it's not even worth it anymore so I just ignore.

    Yup you still see the posts of people you block

    It’s to keep people from blocking a user, logging out, and trying to figure out who posted what.

    The only way to not see someone’s posts is if they block you

      Exactly. To preserve anonymity, blocking posts can only work with one way visibility.

    I didn't think they'd do that, but logically it's the right step if they wanted to keep anonymity. Let's say you want to find who made a post; all you'd need too do is make an alt, block one person on one account, go back on your other account, and see if the post disappeared; then just keep repeating that step until the post disappears. If they didn't have it set up in such a way as they do then everybody could know who made any post if they wanted to.

    I don't think the creators could really have both anonymity and total blocking, so they've kept anonymity and majority blocking instead.

    Because they are anonymous.

    You can see old their old posts but no new posts.

    I've never blocked anyone on here. Why would you do that?

    I don't have the energy to block or thumbs down people. Clicking is hard work.
