Trading block is okay. I support the trading block, I have no problem with that part.

My only problem is with blocking various people from forum content. Why should I be blocked from seeing some threads just because some spoiled brat decided that my suggestions are not good and they block me. Why should I, the player of Lioden be limited in accessing various parts and topics just because someone didnt like my opinion.

Not because I harassed them, or because I bullied them. But because for some reason they decided to block me.

I -an innocent member of the community- would be limited on the forum for something I never did. I never committed a crime, neither did I go against ToS, and yet I will see my access to certain topics blocked.

Even if I dont know that I am blocked from seeing certain threads, the knowledge that I might be blocked for reasons out of my hands is enough to make me angry and question the site's policy.

Again, not only bullies are blocked. Not only harassers or trolls are blocked. People can block others for whatever reason, and as such anyone, even you can be blocked from major threads for something you never did. It would be out of our control, I dont even need to bully or harass anyone to get blocked. And I should be limited on the forum when I am innocent? Just no. I deserve to see all threads and should have the ability to interact on all of them.

If you find bullying or someone is harassing you, then report them. Easy as that. But giving such a tool for everyone would be all too dangerous and is all too easy to abuse.

It isnt about peaceful coexistence. But about severely limiting potentially innocent people in the end. The mod-controlled embargo seems to be fine enough. But where we can just randomly block people..... No.

Number one, you're really not helping your innocence plea by calling people spoiled brats, just so you're aware. Its rude.
-if- you get blocked, and you disagree with the reason you're blocked you should be able,to take it up with the mods,and I'm sure some compensation could be handled. You're acting as if a bunch of people are,out to block you right now, which I'm sure isn't the case.
You won't see your access to topics blocked, because you won't be able to see the topics you're blocked from. Again, it's not only about what "crime" you committed, it's about how you effect the opposing player that may have a problem with how you word things/act/your tone. Speaking online is difficult for,many users because they're not always,neurological and you have to keep in mind that sometimes people get offended at things you may consider "silly" but they may consider of high iimportance and threatening to them.
I don't know why'd you be angry if you got blocked, if you did something to get blocked I'm sure there's a reason'm and even if you don't acknowledge it as a valid reason to get blocked it is to the person that blocked you.
You don't deserve anything. The ability you have to post on the forums right now is a privilege given to you by the mods. And they can rebuke that for any reason, again, whether you think it's a good reason or not.
It is about peace. I'm tired of safe spaces getting invaded and having to be locked Because someone decides it's threatening their normalcy and ignorance. The embargo is just on trading. I personally want a block on forums. One that's moderated and controlled by the mods, but still available to all users for any reason They see fit.

I am saying 'spoiled brats' because I am referring to spoiled brats and not at people who might have blocked me. Just an example of who can block you. And sometimes the block is not valid.

But you know being blocked by a bunch of strangers is no invalid problem. How many times did I see it happen, or I heard the complaints of someone who cannot send an important PM to some random person they never talked to because they blocked them for one reason or another. Or how many people who were bashed in PM cannot send a reply to it because the person who bashed them blocked them.

The block feature is a freely used feature. Anyone can use them for any petty argument. Be it for artwork not being nice enough, stud is too highly priced, lions are too expensive, dislike of opinion, etc. Thus block should remain an easy and basic feature. because it is in the hands of all players for every case possible and one doesnt even need to give a reason. It isnt even needed to have a reason... You can block anyone for no reason at all. How can one give a powerful tool to people if it isnt kept under control and no reason is needed for it?

So, say, if this is implemented and I dont even know if I am blocked and limited from one part of Lioden, then how in the world would I report it to the mods? Should I now send them hundreds of request to force the people to unblock me? Isnt that... kind of strange? Shouldnt it be the other way around? So if someone is really harassing you then you go and report it to the mods so they can put an embargo between the two of you? I think it is more logical this way than me going to the mods every week to ask if I was blocked and request unblock. Because this is what I will do if this gets through.

I want to have the right to all content equal to every member on this forum. Blocked or not. If they really despise me then dont let me PM them or buy a trade. But blocking me from forum content for sometimes petty reasons would be too much, dont you think? If they cannot stand my face just because they didnt like a suggestion of mine than there is something wrong on their part, dont you think?

This is why the embargo tool even requires mod judgment. Because not all problems are severe enough to call for an advanced block and we all view problems differently. The mods can make a third person even-handed decision if the embargo is truly called for.

This way you would give a weapon into the hands of trolls, bullies, and harassers as well.

Ok, this is kinda a dumb reason I want this. When you have the same lion attacking you over and over all day every day (eye twitch) xD it just bothers me. Maybe blocking could prevent someone from attacking you? :p

Sometimes people attack the same person because the other people are to strong for them to attack :T.

I am not sure if blocking PVP is a good move. I see you are lvl27. At such high levels there are not many lions hence why the person keeps attacking you. Because there are not many players to choose from. Blocking them from reaching out and attack would leave them with no lions to have PVP with. Especially on that level it can be annoying.

At higher levels such attacking is to be expected. Most of the playerbase is at way lower level. They become scarcer at around lvl21. I dont think the player means to anger you or bully you. They simply have nobody else to attack.

And exactly this is why I think PVP should be left alone. Sometimes people would misunderstand such attacks and think they are bullied. While simply poor innocent player has simply nobody else to attack. I think it would be a good idea to insert this feature to the mod-controlled embargo instead. Not into the hands of the average player.

I have only ever blocked on person on this site, although I have had to block multiple on other sites/games. (Seriously, you should see my block list in WoW...)
Anyways, I support for more block options, not something as extensive as Facebook, but enough to bar the person from buying from you, and communicating with you. Such as there posts not appearing in topics. (WoW is set up so if someone is blocked you don't see their chat no matter what channel they use.)

I think this is a good idea! Maybe there could be the current blocking option, and then also this more extensive one, too.

Support. I definitely agree. I've had some problems lately with a blocked member continually trying to reach out to me. I'd like to suggest a small change, rather than blocking them from threads, hiding the content of their posts, so that you don't have to see it.

Support.. I have this one person that stalks me, thankfully hasn't found this site, and if she where able to post on my threads..

No Support, or I suppose partial support.
I don't think they should be able to transfer things to you or send you PMs, but... for some worse case scenarios?

Replying to Threads: Imagine someone very sketchy who's ripped off several people immediately blocks whoever they do transfers with. They can't post on their threads to warn other people.
Viewing Dens: This can go either way, but a lot of people for convenience sake have a designated 'punching bag' user that's 2 levels below them with crappy stats. If all users start blocking people who hit them, then suddenly no one can ever attack them.
Blocking Trades: And this is the most minor objection, but what if you're selling some random item and they want to purchase it? IE: You're selling a feather they need for the best price, and they skip over buying yours to buy one 5x more expensive just b/c they insulted you in the past. However, I would suggest that the "____ just bought your trade" would be something like "someone just..." instead, so you can avoid seeing their username.

I now agree with Axel, when I previously did not.

Members should not be banned from forum content for any reason. Kinda wish I could take back my support until/if that is incorporated. Oh well ;-;

But I 100% support extensive blocking on trades.
