I'm not saying SW has gone downhill, but...

...I used to think the amount of blocks we got was extremely generous, and now I'm burning through them at a couple a day 馃ぃ

Or maybe I've just become less patient with other people's rudeness

The faster you block others........the faster you run out of a new feed of posts each day. Eventually when more is blocked than unblocked.........things on a social media site get boring fast. Blocking don't hurt "them".......it hurts your experience here. Unless of course you ONLY want people who stroke your ego and are otherwise boring to talk too.

@MaBalzEsHari I get that, it's true but I'm not trying to hurt them, just spare myself!

At first I only blocked those who engaged directly with me in a way I didn't like (private messages, photo comments) but just lately there has been a rise in people I just find obnoxious generally 馃ぃ

@helsbels Interaction........messages and comments..........is what social media is about. If interaction is a bother........I have to ask......why do you do post pics to get comments too? And generally...why be on a "social" media site at all if the "social" interaction part of that is offensive?

Just asking.
helsbels26-30, F
@MaBalzEsHari Well comments are fine, but being sexually aggressive is an instant block. It is not the interaction, but the tone and manner of it. I wouldn't tolerate it in 'real life' and I won't accept it here.
MaBalzEsHariM
@helsbels I get that. So....the deal seems to be you just want more people who respect you and are more like you for values to comment to you and ur pics? Right?

The bad news about that is................this is SW. lol

@MaBalzEsHari Yeah, I don't care who you are or what you're like on this site but I have zero tolerance for anyone who is inappropriate towards me.

I'm not even saying 'don't do it', but I WILL call you out in no uncertain terms for being a disgusting creature, and then if they do it again, they're gone.

@LordShadowfire I was trying to be discrete.

What I'm saying is, anyone at all is free to message me or leave comments but when that comment is 'mmm baby I want to f**k your pussy', I think I'm more than within my rights to find that unnacceptable.
MaBalzEsHariM
@helsbels Agreed. ;-)
@helsbels Oh.

Then I retract my implication. Apologies. Literally nobody should be sending you that crap.
helsbels26-30, F
@LordShadowfire Thank you
MaBalzEsHariM
@helsbels Just did my best to leave a compliment to ur pics but it says you don't accept messages. But Lord did I try. ;-)

@MaBalzEsHari i had a blocking spree a while back and got to see different people.
MaBalzEsHariM
@Virgo79 And lot less of them. Over time that only hurts ur experience.......not theirs.

@MaBalzEsHari it was like they were all replaced

@helsbels I completely agree with you there
@helsbels [b]Whenever[/b] I see a man criticizing a woman for blocking I figure he simply has no clue. Especially a [b]young[/b] woman, but it鈥檚 not limited to them. I really appreciate the men here who are gentlemen because some of the ones who are [b]not[/b] are really foul. And I don鈥檛 know with whom they鈥檙e used to interacting that they think the things they pm are okay. 馃槼

@bijouxbroussard Absolutely right

And credit to @LordShadowfire there who quickly apologised.
