MirandaBowers Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hello everyone. I would consider myself rather passive when it comes to being annoyed by anyone inWorld, as I just tend to ignore them. It is VERY rare that anyone actually makes it onto my block list. I am curious about everyone else.. 1. How liberal are you with the block/mute feature? 2. What sort of offending action does someone have to do to make it onto your list? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeliqueMinogue Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Harassment, Slander & Repetitive Looped Sounds are the main reasons I block people. And I'm not a liberal, I'm a Republican. 😁 Edited January 18, 2019 by AngeliqueMinogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I don't normally block annoying people or griefers. I have recently blocked people for just having complicated avatars but I clear the block list right after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Griefing my sim. Repeated inquiries for Real Life information, after having been informed that I don't discuss RL. Begging for $L Calling me filthy, obscene things, or making threats. Usually happens after having been ejected for other offensive behavior. Griefing at Social Island or other newbie areas, especially with particles or sound. Blocking these people is merely self-defense, so I can see and hear what else is going on. Stalking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I very rarely have to block people. I'm much too stubborn and sadistic to let people who annoy me to get off that easy. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Evanier Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The only people on my block list are people who add me to their unsolicited spam mail and the object they send it from. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfie Reanimator Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Frequent (un-ironic) use of sound gestures by people I don't know. That's like 98% of the people on my block list. I understand it's hilarious to go through your collection of funny gestures with your friends, but if I'm not part of it, i want absolutely no part of it.

BelindaN Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have a few on my list. All were offensive in IMs. One female avi. The others are guys but only about six......(not misspelt)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 For reasons I don't remember at the moment, I checked my block list a month or so ago: it contained three noisy objects. I actually don't know that I've ever blocked a person. Must be because I'm so nice that no one has ever felt the need to insult or harass me. Right? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Gregoire Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 It's rare for anyone to stay on my shi... err... block list for more than about 5 - 10 minutes. That's usually enough time for even the most stubborn ones to give up. The more stubborn ones usually end up getting suspended or banned from SL. Eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Toxx Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 When they’re just a pest. Hardly anything offends me—and I can give as good as I get, if not better—, but if it becomes just boring repetition, I slam the door on their face (bless block auto-response). That’s for IMs, of course. For public things I’m much more likely to mute specific sounds than whole avatars, unless they’re well into griefing levels.

Janet Voxel Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I usually don’t block people. If they want to mess with you...those type of people have alts. Mostly it’s the people that spam groups with their template clothing. That’s because of spam reduction reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talligurl Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 99% of the time it will be a guy, because he is annoying me. I periodically go to my block list and unblock everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I used to have a high tolerance for what people did around me so I hardly ever used my block on anyone..I used to be around places that had lots of drama,so that kind of made it much easier to let it in one ear and out the other.. Now I'm much more relaxed and come to SL to relax more than anything.. Nowadays,if something is messing with my chi,I swat it like a mosquito. hehehehe I think I still have a pretty high tolerance for things..As long as they don't try to involve or drag me in it..

Fionalein Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 It is just one store I once bought a bikini from... ever since I get their silly ads. I blocked both them and the 4 subscribers they operate out of a closet in their Linden home... (how is that even allowed?) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitsy Buccaneer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Spam notices when I can't find another way to make them stop. But there was one special soul I did block briefly. Years ago, I was helping a noob get himself orientated and he got the idea in his head that I was helping him as a prelude to sex. I said no, it was clear from the groups in his profile that our interests were quite different but I was happy to help him get his av set up. (He didn't have money inworld yet and I knew of some good places with free stuff for men after tagging along with friends.) He demanded to know how I knew what his interests were so I pointed out the list of groups of his profile. Aside from a couple of freebie places, they were all sex groups and some the names gave a pretty good indication of what they were about I explained briefly that profiles were a way of presenting yourself to the rest of SL and what you chose to put in it should reflect how you wanted to be perceived. I told him how to hide groups and mentioned that as it stood, his profile gave the impression he was in SL primarily for sex. He was three days old and already found 20 or so. Oh, and his name was a give away too. My main suggestion though was that he find other groups to join to show interest in things other than sex. He refused to do that but was adamant he wasn't just in SL for sex and outraged anyone might possibly think so. I mean truly outraged. He did hide the more extreme groups, leaving some generic pick-up groups. When I mentioned that if I came across a profile like his, I'd guess there were several hidden groups. How dare I suggest that!?!?! Well, it is exactly what you did. Cue a tirade of abuse which I finally blocked. I could see the .... is typing message in the chat window continue and stop and start and stop and start and go on and on and on, which changed my response from stressed to bemused. A couple of days later I unblocked him but never heard from him again. That's my one story of blocking a person Edited January 19, 2019 by Bitsy Buccaneer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kali Wylder Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I'm not real big on blocking, but I do block bling, just because it hurts my eyes. Oh, and I also block people that are too fond of making big chat consuming gestures. They probably don't even know they've been blocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the "Muted?" section in my profile's Picks tab. It explains the criteria for my muting people. Some might even get a laugh out of it unless they're uptight.

ChinRey Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I've only blocked somebody once. I was doing a run in the Linden Realms and somebody who were more itnerested in ruining other people's game than raking up a decent score themselves kept distracting me with vampire bite requests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amina Sopwith Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I generally don't, but when I do, it's almost always someone who's sexually propositioned me, usually by demanding something I simply will not do, and who just will not take no for an answer. I'm far more liberal with the use of the 'notes' feature. You know, that only you can see. I have my own shorthand for it. One of my most used abbreviations is NFG, or "normal for Gor".

That's about 95% of my block list. The other 5% are generally spammers on groups and inconvenient people like unwanted visitors in my home, those who use lots of gestures and people who insist in any situation that I already said No. Edited January 18, 2019 by DemeraraGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
