Please give us a REAL "block" feature instead of a useless "mute"

[Dale]

Failure to do so - encourages & promotes the bratty skateboard nitwits here.

I'm talking of the SAME block feature that every social media platform has:
it works BOTH ways - they can't see or respond to the blocker
thus the rest of us won't have to sift thru their bratty, nitwit crap.

You guys REALLY_DO call it a "discussions" platform for a reason, eh?
Instead, it's a prolific "pass hate mail back-and-forth". We're getting tired
of having their "bad childhood" crap shoved in our faces. Sheesh!

By looking, I've blocked 576 people and you know what? It doesn't affect me and I don't lose sleep over it.

Might want to add Pierce to that. He'll literally act like he doesn't get the point to keep whatever discussion going to try and bait reports.

Yes, please, I'll be grateful.

Oh also, people should stop lieing and twisting my words. Have respect.

You're asking too much, my friend. You're dealing with manchilds that know nothing about respect.

That does not appear to be an innuendo. Regardless, they are free to respond to you in a public place. You only control your personal profile in regard to their ability to write to you.

To be preemptive as a friendly notation; asking someone to not reply to you, will not make them doing so as harassment.

I appreciate your respect towards me and Im going to bow out of this thread now as it has become a *prone to argument* thread sadly which is now definitely the point of some people aiming to get the thread locked.

Werent able to change each other’s minds nor was I trying but I hope at least you and others can see and respect my point of view and Ive definitely heard others. There is a fear of being ostracized clearly which is something Ive contemplated about and in the end, Im fine with it. I take things literal as say what you mean so to me, the block button simply does not work as it implies it should and it really has nothing to do with other websites, platforms, real life. Anyway im likely to drive myself into a tangent so that’s enough for me.

Personally I like the blocking feature as it is.

BUT I would certainly like it if quotes of blocked users were more akin to this.

Blocked User example B の投稿を引用：

This user is blocked, click to show content.

Wowee, look at all this content!

This way as long as we have the person blocked, even if they're quoted by someone else we still can't see what they posted unless we chose to show the content. But alas, that would require a rework of quoting in general I think so I doubt they'll do it.

I'd love to have a real block feature, but I know Steam will more than likely never implement one. Anyways, when someone goes on my block list I just act like they don't even exist anymore.

And could be easily over come by just leaving out the name of the person you're quoting.

Very much so but this sadly relies on the will of the person doing the quoting and the most I've seen anyone bother editing a quote is to snip the content of the other person if it happens to be quite large.

That and personally, I like leaving the name in myself, good for keeping track of who is replying to who.

“Block all communication” - doesn’t do what it says. Fix: make “block all communication” … *block all communication*

Great, so that means I can block everyone and make troll threads, that they won't be able to report due to them not being able to see it. Wonderful idea! ;)

"Grindr" is the name of a very popular hookup app for gay men, so they're presumably assuming the word being in your u/n is a reference to that.

By how you responded, it seems you did not know of the connection, sorry you had to find out this way

When I made this name, I wasn't aware. Even knowing, it isn't a sexual innuendo.

That's like saying a name with "Tinder" in it is a sexual innuendo.

Block feature works fine as is.

Bit hyper sensitive to get worried over text on a screen. Just scroll past it / ignore it. Not too difficult.

It's just odd how people nowadays cannot stand criticism or any form of negativity.

Couple years back you'd be told to just get over it, etc. Now it's.. block and never see the bad thing again. Bad thing is bad. Never see the bad thing ever because.. it's so bad. How sad.

I agree, context is what makes for innuendo, not just the presence of a potentially-qualifying word. Tho I know that some people ignore that first part/don't properly understand it, original person this chain stemmed from seemingly included, so I was just trying to point out where their reasoning likely comes from (while also having a silly quip at the end )

Start_Running の投稿を引用：

We are fast approaching the point where every noun and verb in the english language will have some sexual innuendo or interpretation.

This is the part where I'd try to find a way to interpret every word you just posted into innuendo ("We" is short for "Wee" etc), but I feel like that would stop being funny for everyone besides me after like 3-4 words.




And also cuz I don't wanna be too off-topic, a thought about the blocking stuff: Regarding the "Even if Steam updates the mutes to still hide posts that've been quoted, hiding posts is circumvented if they're blank quoted

like this

!" thing, in case anyone tries to use that as a defense for "And that's why we need full blocks instead!", it's not.

Even with "full" blocks, if someone you don't have blocked blank-quotes someone you do have blocked, that -still means you'll see the blocked person's post-. Pretty much the only way to fix that would be for the Steam Forums to stop being, y'know, forums.

If y'all want "full" blocks with all the loopholes patched so that you're truly sectioned off from a user you've blocked, you're gonna have to ask Steam to add a "Socials" section or etc to the Community header that's separate from the Discussions/Forum section and then just use that, because it's for all intents and purposes impossible to implement "full" blocks into a forum format.
