Blocked users - is this a new feature?

[image/video deleted]

Does anyone else see this on posts now? I used to see the tag of the person being replied to that was blocked or I would just see the comment without the tag.

Now I see @SW-User instead of the tag of the user who is blocked. I see this a lot on posts….

@DDonde it’s probably a new change we didn’t ask for 🤣

Actually, several have over time asked for this.

@SUPERVlXEN I wanna see who blocks me. Did we ask for the downvote? Did we ask for the algorithm?

Huh? Wtf are you talking about?

@SUPERVlXEN the other changes made on this site that we did not as for….

And? How's that related to your original post?

I made a reply specifically related to blocked users/users having us blocked and their name showing as @SW-User, and the fact that several of us have asked for changes on this topic. Prior it was causing misunderstandings/conflicts between members when there was no name/or synonym for a name [as after the new changes] showing. At times people were taking comments as replies directed at them, where in fact it was made for someone blocked/having us blocked but it being invisible to us as the name of the blocked/having us blocked was erased fully.

How is this change a bigger annoyance compared to what we used to come from?

@SUPERVlXEN the admins keep making changes that weren’t asked for….

If you don’t like my opinion then get off my post. Pretty simple 🤷🏼‍♀️

You're moving the goal post. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This post, as it stands was about the @SW-User feature that was just implemented, and nowhere was other changes mentioned.

I've told you, this change has been asked for. We won't know how the opinion of SW users is on this one, as they didn't have a poll, like they did with downvote, where they later went against the wishes of the majority of users here.

Feel free to block me if you can't handle being opposed and challenged on your claims.

@SUPERVlXEN this is my post and I can talk about whatever I want. Where was this change asked for? So if 2% of the users ask for a change that automatically means that we all want it? Sorry that’s not how it goes. The admins make changes all the time here without caring what we want.

Feel free to block me.

Of course you can talk about all you want, but that won't make it less moving the goal post and talking rubbish when it's not related to the original subject. Sorry, you're simply exposing yourself as one sensitive person who cannot handle being opposed and challenged on your claims. Enjoy your day! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@SUPERVlXEN I never said I couldn’t handle it. Just commented that it’s a change the majority of us didn’t ask for. You are the one that seems to be bothered….
