How big is your block list?

[Stephanie Misfit]

How many entries are on your block list in world? After 16 years, mine stands at 194 entries. I have to say, I am pretty fast to block people. I don't put up with creepiness, or trolling, and I don't engage with anyone who annoys me in that way, I just immediately block. What about you, do you make much use of the block feature in world?

[Dragon Mommy]

I'd say 95% of my Blocklist is spam or a persistent creepy guy who used to post ads looking for 'girls who were submissive when younger' from endless throwaway accounts. But even that amounts to only around 60 accounts. And honestly I think I could safely clear the spam ones as they've all likely been banned.

They're not more than 10 people. Idk, may be I'm too kind with people. I had a real fight with a friend. It was the first time I got so mad to someone in sl. I blocked him, after few days I felt awful and unblocked him. But that's all. No more interactons with that guy.

ETA: No. Wrong. I have one. I'd forgotten. And that one isn't an egregious person -- I just don't want to talk to him in-world.

almost all spam. There are a few mailing lists I've been unable to extricate myself from as the owner says something like "if you want me to remove you, send me a message" which sounds like a trap

About this big....

Less than 10, mostly spam bots, couple creeps. Forums mute list is larger, but I just treat it as a drawer for my sock puppet collection at this point.

[Wulfie Reanimator]

I empty my block list every now and then, in most cases the people who get blocked aren't a problem after a while. It's not a big deal to block again if there's a renewed reason. 🙂

[Always Incognito]

My block list is Absolutely maxed out. Its filled  with… WINDCHIMES! 🧐 

[Coffee Pancake]

The chance of meeting a recurrently annoying person is very small.

That spam bot/object that keeps sending notecards no matter how many times you unsubscribe or report the thing OTOH.

Oh yeah, everyone has run into him at one time or another. He used the same opening line and often the same name with just a different number on the end. I haven't seen him in many months so maybe he moved on?

My own block list is small but always room for more!

Most of them are guys that got all "icky-cooties!!!" uppity when they failed to note my RL gender in their attempts to seduce.

The other batch are a selection of the most annoying groupies at various clubs (especially Exhale) who just can not shut up and spam the Nearby chats every 5 seconds with gestures and annoying sounds. I sometimes unblock them when I head out of the club, but there are 3 or 4 at Exhale that make such constant noise I just immediately TP out if I arrive and see them there.

I've also blocked a few DJs. Play your music and SHUT UP already!

My block list is essentialyl empty, tbh. Like maybe 2 names on it right now? I am quick in blocking people but I usually just block someone for a day or two and then remove them again and move on.

[kali Wylder]

It sort of depends on where the blocking occurred.  If they are banned from my space then they get an automatic get out of jail free card when I move because I tend to jump around in Bellisseria.  It's part of the fun of game of homes.  Fix up a place, get it just right, take pictures then abandon it and fix up a new place. I don't waste any time taking my banned list with me. 

If I've blocked an individual so that I don't see them anywhere except as a greyed out jelly doll then they are likely to stay banned.  Once in a very great while I run into someone who is greyed out because I blocked them in the past.  When that happens sometimes I've unblocked them just to see if they warrant staying blocked.  Then re-blocking them shortly afterwards.  I'm not really into re-experiencing unpleasant occasions. 

If it's someone I've blocked in the forums, which is a rather small list, I tend to free them on a case by case basis.  If they get quoted a lot, I am exposed to their words even though I've blocked them.  There are a couple who I've taken off blocking because either they've changed over time or I've gotten used to them or it's become too hard to follow the conversation when I can't see what they said.  Sometimes I'm just lazy and get tired of using the "just let me see this one post" feature and so I unblock them.  Sometimes I regret that and back they go.

[Lyssa Greymoon]

Right now it's two people and three annoying objects. That's what I mostly use it for, people who are playing music over voice or a repeating gesture and objects that just won't STFU.

[Istelathis]

I don't have any people on it, but I do have nine objects listed.  I believe most of the objects are near one of my parcels and make noise, I also have a mesh middle finger that rotates and changes colors blocked, unfortunately in the viewer I often use I can not derender it though.  The thing that bothers me about that finger is not really that I find it inappropriate, but I think it may intentionally have been put there by someone who is trying to sell me or my neighbor their 16sm parcel for $5k by placing what they may assume is annoying enough for one of us to purchase.  It is more expensive than some of the parcels multiple times its size.  I don't like reporting things, plus I a not psychic and don't actually know the intention behind it,  so I just let it be.

The rest of the objects just make noise, I could block all noises  from my parcel but decided just to block them.

[Myntz Mysterious]

Mine consists of 92 entries so far. 🚫

[Alwin Alcott]

12 people, all hosts in clubs, or specific location managers as "lifeguards" .. ( often worse behaviours than griefers)

and around 40 spamming objects

This must be a busy fellow! I've encountered his freshly created alts at Welcome Island.

As for my block list...not many. I check it every now and then and clear it, especially if I read names and can't remember what I blocked them for.

[MoiraKathleen]

I have 4 on my block list and they are all spam related.  

[Rowan Amore]

858 after adding  3 more gesturbators today.  It fluctuates day to day.  If you're body parts, spanker, poofer or whatnot annoys me, I'll block but may unblock the next time I see you.  I also block repeated jellydolls.  If everytime I see your avatar, it's a jellydoll that earns you a spot on the list, too.

So, more or less the entire resident population of SL (taking into account that everyone else is a bot).

To be fair, those blocks aren't all people.  I'd say it's evenly distributed between people and objects. 

 

[Tary Allen]

Avatars not many, objects yes, a lot.

I block all full bright landscape around my places, lights that light up a house like it is on fire and spam objects.

I didn't know that there is a limit, I'll have to check old blocks and unblock one of these days

 

 

[Leahndra]
