Full block needed when blocking a user

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

So I had this player the other day that I let join my world in a game I play. Turned out was a mistake as the user became annoying very fast so I told him I was going to remove him and after that he got abusive in nature so I blocked him fully.

Shortly after that I started getting alot of clown rewards given to alot of my posts and have to assume being it is the same game and the number of rewards that is being given that it is this same user now abusing the reward system to harass me.

Being I have the guy blocked there really needs to be a way to fully 100% block the user that includes their ability to send rewards to the person that blocked them.

So I suggest that rewards be added to the blocked features when a user blocks a player that player can't communicate including sending rewards of an abusive nature to the user.

Been on both.

The blocking system for both of them is horrible.

So you do understand how it is. It's very useful figure.

It's not horrible, just that probably you talked to a wrong person and got blocked.

Nah.

Twitter has an issue with massive block lists that people subscribe to because they are told 'everyone on this list is bad' which boils down to 'everyone on this list may follow someone I don't like'. Facebook's block function is no better.

I support your suggestion for full blocking figure. I notice a few people here kept arguing about blocking. Do they even go to Facebook or twitter? They would get a clear idea what blocking does.

I am well familiar with blocking system as I frequent Facebook and twitter. It's long overdue to have Steam to have full blocking figure as other social media websites has.

yep, both have a great blocking system, block a person and they are gone, no interaction between either.

You can have that here as well. You just have to choose not to interact. Whether that be directly or editing comments as a response.

while harsh, its true.

thats the only reason some want the block feature to stay the same, so they can push their views/opinions on others and the people they hassle wont have any recourse to remove the situation, or be forced off the forums because of the people causing issues.

Not at all accurate, in fact if you actually used the block system you wouldn't see their opinions or views. The only way you'd see it is if you click to manually unhide their posts and then sit there and read their views.

There is an easy recourse you ignore because it doesn't fit your agenda. Block and ignore, and your problem is already solved.

first off, stop spamming me with your friend requests, i dont condone harassment, nor want it.

you already know i dont use the block feature and you already know why i ignore your comments, so there is no reason for you to "check" if i blocked you by spamming me friend invites.

edit: ofc you will keep doing it after me asking you not to... very mature... anymore than twice required?

if im ignoring you, its means im ignoring you.

but, as said, the block feature needs an overhaul, whether you want it or like it or not.

end of story, bye and have a nice day/night

The blocking system is fine as it is. Whether you like it or not. It just takes self control/discipline to not click 'show comment' when they appear.

There is your problem, you keep wanting to block users but refuse to use the feature and thus have no knowledge on how it actually works. If you actually blocked users you dont want to engage in you have no issues.

Complaining about how something you refuse to use doesn't work isn't exactly logical. If you actually were to use it you wouldn't be subjected to the views or opinions of those you don't wish to see.

Skimmed through it but it never fails to make me laugh when someone implies that this would reduce work for the moderators and/or Support.

It's not going to make a change at all. Someone is still going to report you if you go around breaking rules willy-nilly.

It's like they think this magic "full" blocking will protect their bad behaviour. At best it might delay the inevitable.

Sounds too good to be true. Sadly people here are way too obsessed with that oh-so-dumb "freedom of speech and expression". Being rightfully forced to shut up would hurt their "feelings" after all.

Actually most users at least those who know what they are talking about know there is no freedom of speech. Only people who have no clue what it means try to use freedom of speech on steam.

Your forgetting one thing, you can reply to the blocked user here at steam. Full blocking wouldn't allow that. Your user name, your account, your profile wouldn't exist when blocked.

nah, you aint cherry picking my comments, here is the full comment below.

why would i use a broken feature that doesnt work the way it should? yes i want to use a block feature, one that blocks fully, as i have mentioned 1000 times, one that blocks all interaction.

fyi, im not the one with a problem.

also, now we are up to 3 spammed invites, all for what? again very mature of you.

edit: make it 4 now.

guess we need a way to block invites separately from the block feature, as well as a full overhaul of the block feature.

What's interesting is saying it will reduce the work of moderation implies they want to break the rules but not be reported since it can't be seen.

With the current system, even if they block someone, that person can still report their comments to moderation if they break the rules. With the system they want, the person they block can't report any comments that break the rules because they can't see them.

Really activates the almonds.

Just because you can reply, doesn't mean you should.

Again, it just takes some self control.

[MonkehMaster]

now we have people claiming, people want it for breaking rules, people sure will spin nonsense, to try making something legit, seem bad

its more the other way around, people behaving badly want it to stay the same, so they can continue targeting the people they dont like or want in these forums.

learn to control your behavior and we wouldnt need a better blocking system.

Who cares if you can reply? I mean if i have someone blocked I don't see what they posted so I feel no need to reply. If someone has no self control and keeps replying to someone they blocked then nothing is stopping them from unblocking them to do so.

I mean the only real change i'd want to see with blocking is if someone quoted a user and it was able to dynamically block the quoted text, but that isn't possible without a complete redesign of the entire forum and its not a big deal.

I mean again, for instance if I block you right now that means according to what some users want you can't post in this thread anymore because that would be engaging. If I make a thread on a topic, you can't participate, etc.

No user has the right to tell other users what they can or can't do on STEAM'S PUBLIC FORUMS. Only steam has that right. What you do have the right to do is dictate who is or isn't allowed to post on the private aspects of steam. Your profile, artwork, screenshots, comments, etc. That is non-public and you can control that

Learn to use the blocking system and you wouldn't need a better blocking system....that you refuse to use in the first place.

My advice OP.
Take the points from those clown awards and vbuy something fun from the points shop.
Offense can only be taken, not given.
Don't take it and all they're doing is wasting their points.

Take them for what more emoji or backgrounds? I have nearly 100K in points that have almost never been spent. So their pretty worthless to me. If I could spend them on games sure would be great but whats offered in the points store is totally pointless. I can count on 1 hand how many times I have spent points probably as I never go into the points store!

Then just ignore the awards and the points entirely and go about ye life.
They have no benefit and they do no harm.
