Unblock People

[quillrose42]

There have been instances where people accidentally block other players. How do we unblock others?

I have this problem too, commenting to see the solution.

Did you make a new room to see if they are still blocked, I thought it was only a ban on that particular lobby or room not perma for the entire game?

this should be true! but be careful about blocking people, i do think you get a warning popup

I think there's some confusion between blocking and kicking.

If the host kicks someone there's a pop up.

If you block someone (clicking on block in the chat window) there's no pop up and if you've hit the wrong person (because the buttons move whenever anyone types a new message) then you can't fix it till after the game, but it's kinda important to know what other people are saying for the rest of the round.

okay you have revealed a bug! thank you to both of you

so here is where my confusion stemmed from! when you block a player from the players tab in the settings, you get a warning popup! This was intended to give some clarity as well as to stop people from accidentally blocking someone they didn't want to. This popup doesn't show up when a player is blocked in the text chat, which we will fix

Starting a new room did not fix the issue

Thanks Herbert, if we could have an "unblock" button, that would fix the issue. Even if we genuinely wanted to block the person and got the popup, later the behavior may have stopped. So the ability to unblock a person at will is important. The issue is preventable with the popup but not fixed by the popup. Thanks!

That is a fair point!
You (the person who did the blocking) has to do the following:

If you are using windows, type ALT+R to open the run window. Type in “regedit” and launch the registry editor. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE, delete every folder with Gaggle (Gaggle Studios, Gaggle Studios INC, Gaggle.Fun, GaggleStudios). Be careful NOT to delete the Google folder. Relaunch your client, and have fun!
