Why do I get blocked when I try to defend my friends against trolls? Why does SW allow people to misuse and abuse the block feature like that?

How else am I supposed to defend my friends against trolls?

Blocking prevents far more abuse than it causes. It would be impossible to moderate blocking. I would not be here if I couldn't block at will

@seaglass If you think blocking prevents far more abuse than it causes, how do you suggest I defend my friends against trolls?

🤔. Hmmm...I wouldn't have a clue.

We can't have vigilantes on Similar Worlds!
BTW we all get blocked sometimes it's for a reason, sometimes it's because the guy on the other end disagrees with being called out over something, or a multitude of other reasons. You didn't want to talk to that person anyway and whoever you were defending can block them if they don't like how the conversation goes.

@GeniUs Every other site I visit has vigilantes, so why not here as well?

They are defending themselves from you

Well...you could be defending your friends but trolls have feelings too and a right to block whoever they choose.

@SW-User Trolls have absolutely no feelings whatsoever, and they shouldn't have rights. Normally I believe in treating people equally, but trolls are an exception because their raison d'etre is to deliberately get people riled up. They have no rights to behave like that.

You can’t abuse the block feature 😂😂 you can block whoever they want, including you

@SophSmiles That's a mixed-up answer.

@jshm2 Because I live in a community where we defend each other. In other words, we are normal.
With you out of the picture, they will probably just resort to defending themselves.

...misuse and abuse..

You're kidding, right?
This is a joke, right??

@minxy How is it a joke?
Why care? Who needs trolls?

I see what you’re saying but there’s no way for the admins to control how we use the block feature, it would cause too much chaos.
Bewilderbeeste · 61-69, M
@Moneyonmymind On the contrary, I think it would reduce the amount of chaos.
