IMGflip could be better pt.2

You're welcome!

Who have you blocked?

It isn't about any one person

It is about the feature functioning better

I see.

Anyone know how to inform IMGflip development that this is a desired feature?

imgflip.com/m/imgflip or the feedback button at the left of your screen (if on pc)

Thanks, I hope everyone that visits comments upvotes you for this.

who in specific are you talking about? lol

If only it was one person...

that doesn't really make sense if you think about it. Sure it'd be nice but that's not how it works, you blocked him, he didn't block you

TL;DR

Block should be a wall, not a one way mirror.

agread

Why would I ask for a feature that already existed? Of course that isn't how Block works currently.

"Sure, it'd be nice" -> That is why I want the feature.

If I did block them:
I don't want them to interact with my content.
I don't want them following me.
I don't want them commenting on my memes.

If I block someone, I don't want to interact with them.

It makes sense.

Yes, it does, but that doesn't stop them from interacting with you since they didn't block YOU, YOU blocked THEM. YOU shouldn't be able to see them following you, interacting with your content or commenting on your posts. Whether they still do is their business, because once again, YOU blocked THEM, THEY didn't block YOU. You're saying the right things but not realising what that means in the grand scheme of things

What is the risk?

Yes, you blocked them.

And you see their comments on your memes still

You see them following you still

Block doesn't do what you are saying it does.

I just blocked you to see what it does, and it does exactly that. I don't see your comments anymore, all I see is a message saying that there's a blocked message. I also don't get notifications or see submissions from them. It's all there explained when you press block on someone. Block does exactly what I'm saying it does. If you want block to completely erase your existence from that blocked persons view you're being retarded. Have a good day and think before speaking.

So you see my comments, masked.

You still see my comments.

Notifications are off, but you can still come harrass me. You can now harass me without my ability to flag the harassment.

You understand that this is broken right?

No? Too busy calling me names?

Are you upset because you are often Blocked?

do people realy call you names?

You wouldn't know it's harassment unless you press the view message button, and if you do that you're putting yourself in the line of fire, that's your fault.

Imagine you like something, let's say ice cream, there's a bunch of people that don't like ice cream and a bunch of people that want their voice to be heard. On facebook I bet there's a group called "I hate ice cream" or whatever. And you know for a fact that those groups exist, so why the f**k would you, who likes ice cream, put yourself in the line of fire and join that group? Not even join just go into their facebook page, why? That's the exact same thing here.

Unless you view the blocked message you won't know if you're getting harassed. Do you realise how stupid that is? You're being very illogical, use some common sense.

Like @OhWell said "those mean words that I can't even see are harassment!" it's the dumbest shit ever. Why do words that you can't even see bother you?

"I like ice cream but when I joined that facebook group that didn't like ice cream I saw a bunch of people hating on ice cream and know I'm offended" < this is you right now, grow the f**k up kid.

TL;DR "Block" should be like a restraining order, it is currently a "Hide".

Re: your Facebook ice cream argument

I didn't go to their page, they came to mine. Your whole Facebook argument makes no sense as a result.

I like ice cream, I post memes about ice cream. The group that hates ice cream follows me, to write hateful things about ice cream in the comments of all my memes.

I block them to prevent hateful comments. They continue to write hateful comments, I now have to click to check for Terms violations.

If I see a message from someone I blocked, I can assume I am being harassed. The harassment is likely why I blocked them.

And why would I view it? To flag and report harassment to the mods. Do you support harassment and violation of the IMGflip terms? Why?

Furthermore, if you have a stalker, and they follow you, you can't block them.

Block is like a restraining order, it isn't "Hide". Block should protect me, when I can act faster and more effectively than global moderation.

If you want a "Hide" button, request it.

I want a "Block" button.

I want to block someone so bad tho
he is being a dick at me bc i called him out on reposting

TL;DR explained my previous arguments, gave context and specified what I meant by them.

My ice cream analogy only works with the context given, which you purposefully "forgot" about. Prior to the analogy I wrote something else to help people understand the analogy better.

It does make sense if you had half a brain, and I'm not passionate about "block" in particular, I'm merely helping you understand what you're not understanding. I am, in fact, helping you. But you don't seem to understand that other view points exist and you think that yours is the only correct one.

"I didn't go to their page" < this counter argument got contradicted by yourself two rows of text down. "I now HAVE to click to check for terms violations", no, no you don't, not at all. And that's exactly my argument, you've blocked them, forget about them, why are you so fixated on what a blocked person is typing? Why would you assume you're being harassed?

By the looks of this, and I'm no psychiatrist but, you seem to have catastrophic thinking, which implies you think of the worst case scenario every time. And to be more specific, since you worry about being harassed, you probably have "pain catastrophizing" which is when a person obsesses and worries about pain, feels helpless when they experience pain, and is unable to put worries or thoughts of pain aside, whether this pain is mental or physical.

You can request for a harsher block function but saying that this currently isn't you blocking someone else is ridiculous.

Block is protecting you, once again, by pressing view blocked message you're putting yourself in the line of fire. If you didn't press view blocked message you wouldn't be seeing what that person wrote, whether it's harassment or a question or whatever.

And why are you assuming that the people you've blocked purposefully go into your memes to harass you? This is a very self-centered thinking, now, I'm no expert on this website but I doubt that the majority of people check the names of the people that posted the meme before upvoting it, saving it, laughing at it, downvoting it or commenting on it.

Also, I'm new to imgflip, whether someone blocks me or not is none of my concern because I don't harass people. "both seem to like the ability to comment on memes of people who blocked them" <-- As pointed out above, I'm new to imgflip, I don't even know how to tell if I've been blocked, and if I was blocked it'd most likely be because a special snowflake couldn't handle the truth or something along the lines of that.

"those mean words that I can't even see are harassment!"

.....................
do you not realize what DreadToi means?

I think they are being obtuse.

lol why they hating on you tho? who do they think they are

Goodness, didn't realize there were two of them.

Either way, both seem to just like the ability to comment on memes of people who blocked them.

I don't think it makes sense to be able to comment on someone who blocked you.

No idea, this is my first interaction with them.

They are super passionate about block though, and I have no idea why still.

Their argument ads far as I can tell is "it's the dumbest shit ever. Why do words that you can't even see bother you?"

Which, isn't really a reason to keep block as a one way mirror.

Preventing violations of IMGflip terms is more valuable than catching violations after the fact. It just makes sense to give users the power over their own content.

This is far from hating on someone, it is nothing more than explaining what's wrong with the statement he made. I can not hate on someone I have no feelings for. I would've done the exact same thing to anyone else if they made this statement, this isn't me targeting a person. Which you two think it is, for some reason.

I think that you should be able to see your downvotes on your meme if you want to, like you could enable downvotes and you and everyone else could see them, or you could make the downvotes private, so you can see how many people didn't like your meme, or you could disable them.
Everyone would be happy.
Personally, I want to know how many people don't like my memes.
