And it becomes clear that the OP has blocked you? It has been a fascinating experience - I don’t even know what I did to piss the person off, but apparently I did/said something. I’m not upset, just somewhat amused. Especially since it isn’t a controversial thread. It’s happened before to me on political threads, but I kind of expect that from some people on those threads.

How can you tell? Did you ask something that got deleted?

How can you tell? Did you ask something that got deleted? I’ve made a few comments directly to the OP in response to questions she has asked on the thread and she has responded to everyone else on the thread but me.

I don't think I've ever been blocked, but then again, I probably wouldn't realize it. Not sure why you were blocked, but I'm puzzled about why anyone would block you?

Oh, I can guess that some of the political peas have blocked me over the years over my political views which I don’t always temper or word as politely as I should. I have a couple blocked too - old peas who have come back under new names to troll on the political threads. So, I’m not complaining, since I use the block/ignore feature myself.

No, I doubt I would notice. I would just figure they didn’t see my question or didn’t care to answer my question.
Since I have several people blocked I would guess that I’m also blocked by some. I no longer post on the political threads and rarely even read them anymore, but I know I didn’t fall into line when I did post on them. I’m also pretty passionate about certain dog issues and probably come off too strong on some dog threads!
Most of the people I have blocked I blocked because they seem to enjoy arguing everything or they are just full of negativity. I’ll block someone for arguing with others, not necessarily arguing with me. Or if they gang up on others. Drama is my other block reason, I just get tired of people that need or create drama.

Constant negativity/complaining is a third reason for me.

If the OP has you blocked, I wouldn't think you could see the original post at all. So, this is interesting to me.

I figured out someone had blocked me on the WWYD thread the other day (about filing a grievance). LOL Oh well. Next...

No I wouldn’t notice - or I’d probably just assume they were too busy to respond.

You can see the posts if someone has blocked you, they just can’t see yours unless they click on the “this post is blocked” (or something to that effect) in their read of the thread, and then the blocked person’s post opens. if you’d like, I can block you for the next 30 minutes and you’ll see that you can read my posts, I just can’t read yours unless I want to. Blocking is more like “ignore” on this board. The only things that are truly blocked is that you can block someone from pm’ing you or following you.

@outspoken I have temporarily blocked you. You can still read my posts, can’t you?

I often wonder if people have blocked me, OR what I post is so incredibly stupid and mundane, they don't care to respond. Well except for myshelly, for some reason she hates me. I wish she WOULD block me. HA...oh, dang. she hates that......woops

I have only one person blocked and I'm not sure if I'm blocked by anyone. However, I chose not to respond to political posts. My view is that I support who I support and I believe in who I believe in and any retort I have to anyone is not going to change their opinion nor will they change mine. I would like to think I am intelligent enough to make my own choices and any political debate will not change that.

Not sure anyone can tell if they are blocked. Not answering is not the same thing as blocked. True, but in this case the not responding/ignoring my posts is weird, to me. Being blocked/not seeing my posts seems the most logical reason. Again, nothing at all controversial, so no reason to ignore them.

I don't have anyone blocked (at least on purpose), but I could see myself accidentally hitting something if it were an easy thing, especially on Tapatalk. Leave the phone/app up, pick it up and shove in pocket without remember to close/sleep screen.
Maybe the person just didn't see the post. Sometimes on my phone I get that issue and when I go to my computer I see I missed a post.

There is blocked and then there is ignored. I have never blocked anyone but I definitely ignore a couple of people and would never give them the satisfaction of responding.

I put a couple of peas on ignore on the old board. The problem is that curiosity got the best of me and I would click on their posts, anyway. So, I just don't bother to block anyone, cause I don't have self control. As a rule, I avoid the political threads, anyway.

Oh man several people must have me on ignore. Some threads I feel like I’m just talking to myself. 🤷🏻♀️😂🤣

I'd like to be noticed enough to be blocked 🤣 But I can't think of a single thing I've said that might be controversial enough, apart from that I dont think we should have a royal family, but I don't think any of the Brit peas are ignoring me yet!

I'm not sure I'd notice I have one person blocked because of their argumentative, rabid responses to certain other peas. It was politically motivated so now there are fewer Conservative peas and less of that sort of arguing I could probably unblock her now except I can't remember how to?

That is funny, elaine. I'm not sure if I'd notice if I was blocked. I know I have a few people blocked, but I don't remember who. Every once in a while I read a thread where someone's posts are hidden. You'd have to be a super jerk to other people for me to block you. Fortunately for you all -- I can see all the posts here ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

@outspoken I have temporarily blocked you. You can still read my posts, can’t you? Yes, I can read this. So, on this board, I gather the way it works is that if you have a person blocked, yu can’t see them, but they can see you. Unless you both have each other blocked. This is interesting to me. Thank you.

Thank you. Correct. It is really more of an “ignore” than a block. They are blocked from pm’ing you - if you check that box - but for board posts, they can see everything you post, you just can’t see theirs unless you click “display post” button that shows up instead of their actual post. That is funny, elaine. I'm not sure if I'd notice if I was blocked. I know I have a few people blocked, but I don't remember who. Every once in a while I read a thread where someone's posts are hidden. You'd have to be a super jerk to other people for me to block you. Fortunately for you all -- I can see all the posts here When I had to figure out how to unblock Outspoken, I noticed that 4 of my blocked peas are no longer members, so I actually only have 3 current members blocked - all political trolling peas.
