The Joy of blocking Haters

[veer]

How many have you blocked? I have blocked over 300 so far. I have no use for those who come on a games forum and post lies about the game. Their opinions are of no account Now to make this On Topic for Starfield I have made a couple new steam friends Thanks to this forum and some of the Fans of starfield who post greaat posts here about the fun they are having in game, so keep up the good work and posts and Have a drink on me at the viewport.

I did say his/her jail.

You don't have to read or listen to it, that is true and that is your right. But if someone takes actions to PREVENT others from having the same choice, that is censorship.

Now you have every right to do so. The point is you can't call it "free speech" if you are blocking said speech from OTHER PEOPLE.

Wait you did not clarify that before.. You are correct then.. If it is only blocking what YOU see, then it is not censorship and your right to do so. My impression was you were talking about block based on a entire thread... so there is a difference there.

That was a quick turnaround. Context matters. Maybe you misunderstood what was meant by blocking a user. Someone with twelve years on the platform and an extensive post history ought to have known that.

I don't think you CAN block for others eheh. Glad we cleared that up Malakie. Thank you for your service in the Navy. I served in the Marines. Keep safe my friend.

I gave away my Health fighting for Free Speech, so don't tell me I'm a fascist for blocking. I am of the opinion that game forums are for those who enjoy and like to post about the game they enjoy. There has been an organized effort to attack Starfield and Bethesda Studios for some misguided reason or other. These Forums are NOT the place for it. And when fans of the game attempt to take back our forums this misguided element atacks us for our love of the game. Well as another mentioned our ability to Block the haters IS FREE Speech as well. I don't have to listen to their garbage and won't. It has made my use of these forums so much more fun to not have to wade through their garbage.

I would defiantly not call anything on the forum organized, did you consider that maybe the dislike for the quality for the game might actually be genuine? Blown out of proportion sure, but still well deserved.

Don't worry, if someone is neurotic enough to block hundreds of people, they are going to check every hidden post

I disagree that it is well deserved. In fact I disagree with all of their points. I think the hate posts are just malicious Lies. Nothing they say against the game makes sense to me at all.

Just because someone's talking doesn't mean I should be forced to listen.

No it is not free speech. There is a difference. Especially when your own action stops OTHERS from having the ability to read what someone else says, whether you like it or not.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

My right to ignore someone is just as strong as their right to stand up and yell.

This whole thread is about the joy of trying to discourage or silence anothers opinion.
Even though, those opinions are not derogatory, physically harmful.

This in itself, is anti-free speech.

Even if you read between the lines a bit it's clear many find the game lacking in many categories. It's great if you like it, more power to you, but those that dislike it have the same right to express themselves on the forum.

Garbage in, garbage out, Starfield's Dev's seem unable to fix many irritating and some game breaking bugs even after such a reasonable amount of time.

My blocklist is at over 500 people thanks to the BG3, Street Fighter 6, and Starfield forums. Steam is a cesspit right now.

Maybe? But to be fair; the ones I've witnessed him banning were derogatory.

You have serious issues.

Now I will back away slowly.

Oh and block me. I'll feel better.
