Hello,
We have recently released a few changes to the system that will take some extra measures to prevent contact between users if the system believes it's the best to reduce harassment and block circumvention on SW.
Having several alt accounts increases the risk of these auto-blocks from happening, too.
Generally, following our Terms of Service and Acceptable Behavior Guidelines will reduce the chances of being prevented from contacting/seeing other users, to almost zero.
Regards.

@Nuno I can see you're dealing w/a real problem here, but it is possible for individuals to turn it off? I mean, AFAIK no one has ever targeted me in this way and tried to game the system. So from down here, it seems the blocking was working just the way I like it: I don't wanna deal w/this guy again, I block 'em. Problem solved.

The unrecognized blocking action allows ghosts a portal to enter the SW realm. This can be seen at IP sub address .66666666666666666666666666666666666666.

@BackyardShaman So the ghosts are using repeating decimals to glitch the system.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
@Trappedmermaidsoul yes they are!
Keeper · M
So…. The enigma lady maaaay have not blocked me after all.
Conspiracy.

When I rejoined the same thing happened to me.
Like sooo many people.
Who didn't even know me cause I had only been there like 2 days.
Then weirdly they got unblocked and was able to see them

@Juvia wow this gotta be a glitch, I had an inactive alt and saw the same thing happened and was unblocked.
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
It'd be interesting to get an admin's take on this bc it's so bizarre
HannahSky · F
@deadgerbil read Nuno's reply
luckranger71 · 51-55, M
Weird. As I never block anyone, if you ever get blocked by me, you can be assured there's some glitch. 😎
Trappedmermaidsoul · 26-30, F
@luckranger71 Thanks I knew something was up, I knew it wasn't you.
Victorian · 56-60, F
Same here too, couldn't find dsandman99's account and found out I'm blocked, never did anything wrong here.

Lots of people on here are experiencing this, and found out they've been blocked by friends and random people for no reason.

There is no real rhyme nor reason as to what happens on here and why.
The main reason people might block is if they got into an argument, obviously. BUT, there are at least a dozen other reasons.
Maybe they blocked a demograph.
Maybe some political post.
Maybe they are trying to hide their online activity from a real life partner. (people seldom think of that one)
And now apparently some algorithm is deciding who can contact who based on who "might" butt heads.
Honestly you just cannot take it personal UNLESS you know or have an idea of what happened.

Trappedmermaidsoul · 26-30, F
@looping and you see the this message was deleted comments.
@Trappedmermaidsoul I get that a lot haha 😂🤣🤷🏼♀️
Trappedmermaidsoul · 26-30, F
Are there any block ghosts haunting SW and glitching the security system?
Roundabout · 22-25, F
I can't find his account here too.
Catzgano · 31-35, F
Don’t bother thinking about it people block others alla time
DCarey · 46-50, M
Must not have been a happy camper.
SomeMichGuy · M
I wouldn't sweat it.
Victorian · 56-60, F
Dsandman99 also blocked me 😭

SW-User
@Nuno is something wrong with the blocking system or are we all just getting tired of each other?
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
blocking is overutilized and its not like you disappear either as we have to see remnants of you. consider not allowing alts. 🙏

Good to see that the SW Team have found a new way to waste time.
