Mute Vs. Block

There was questions about how can I not see posts but still be in contact with people so this where if you want to get the messages but you don't want to see the posts in the feed you can mute them. If you don't want any contact from them you can block them. You have the same number of mutes as you have of blocks.

Muting users will prevent their posts from appearing to you, unless you visit their profiles.
Muting does not disable comments or private messages.

Blocking users will prevent them from messaging and adding/following you.
You will not be able to see posts from these users.

Let's say your not VIP you have 500 blocks & 500 mutes. If you are VIP you have 5,000 blocks & 5,000 mutes.

@Enosan Why is this interesting?
SW-User
There is another option available that is not written here.
It is the annoying 13 year olds posting on the website,
with there images blurred out and "no age" is shown at the side of there pictures.

When I scroll I want to comment on any post I see.
If they are "13" year olds, (I'm guessing, due to my research)
I don't want to see there post, especially how in the beginning I didn't know what those post meant because the pictures and age was not shown.

In the beginning, when attempting to view the profile, it shows the exact same screen, as though they blocked me, when its just SW alone that blocked it.
SW should block there post also while they are at it.

I did message this privately with no response. Its annoying when you scroll on your newsfeed everyday, Jessica.

@Enosan: I see what is going on here. You shouldn't be able to see that post they didn't block you there is a sytem to protect minors and that is what is going on here.

Jessica, I will not respond with sarcasm or irony, but I did say that at the "beginning" again, ok Jessica? :)
I don't want those post on my newsfeed please

Pretty Please? Would you please, Jessica?

@Enosan: You can go to your blocked settings and type in their name in the list and block them.
SW-User
Do you want me to do that 100 times Jessica?
Or Just 50 of them, Jessica?
Jessa29 · 36-40, FMod
@Enosan: That's up to you.
SW-User
So you want me to go ahead and block 100 people, retaining in mind that My block limit is reached and that I would have to block people "manually" which is just a bit tedious, Jessica?
Would you mind making a function to block them easily since it multiple people, Jessica?

@Enosan: I'm just a moderator not an admin.
SW-User
But Jessica, I had a close friend who went away (to another country) and I did really like her name, so I said it repeatedly, she is still the best friend I ever had.
I'm hoping that you can talk to the Admins, Jessica about the issue?
And nothing is wrong with being a moderator, why would you say that? 0_0

@Enosan: Ok I see. I wasn't bashing being a moderator I LOVE being a moderator for this site I was saying I can't make this function because I'm a moderator not an admin.
SW-User
I understand, Jessica.
Will this be fixed as soon as possible?
Jessa29 · 36-40, FMod
@Enosan: I'm not sure when this will be fixed.
SW-User
so the admins are informed, yeah?
Jessa29 · 36-40, FMod
@Enosan: Yes they are
SW-User
Thank You so much! Jessica
