Bigger Block List

 mjf314:

Possible, but not a good idea.  Users look at old threads and articles all the time.  They shouldn't be deleted.

I doubt that server capacity is the issue anyway, but only the admins know for sure.

When I said inactive threads I meant for example forum games that get new threads once the previous one got too long. Some have 5 threads or more and I think no one needs thread #1-4 when #5 is the only one you're needing for actually playing. 

But yes, that's only relevant when server capacity is really the issue here.

Looks like we finally got this? I definitely have more than 30 people on my list now. 

Not sure since we never got an official reply here. Maybe there's still a limit but it has been set higher? 

 Ivy:

If I get there I'll let you know :P I'm sure there will be more be worth blocking in the future. 

Right now I'm at 33. I'm happy when I don't encounter block-worthy users. xD

 Ivy:

Also I think it would be neat (if limits are blocks list have to be a thing) to have notes for our block list so I could tell "Oh I blocked this one before being a raging homophobe" vs. some minor infraction

This. I'm having an excel sheet for that but it would be so much better if there was a note function implanted into the blocking list. 

Also something that worries me is that I reported a user who spreads hate against women is still not banned after 5 days. Are moderators too busy to handle such users in a timely manner or is such behavior tolerated on MDL? I blocked them but their disgusting comments are still visible for me on forums. Also it seems that moderators are quite tolerant when it comes to people who are verbally rude and hateful, because despite people reporting them, they are still around. When MDL tolerates such behavior, they should at least remove the block list maximum, because I'd rather not interact with people who can't engage in respectful and civilized discussions. 

 Ivy:

I never thought to keep a spreadsheet for my blocklist, I may need to start doing that.

I started it when I had reached the previous limit. It's helpful to remember me which people to never unblock because they are toxic. 

 Ivy:

Same. There were a couple egregious ones on the No Gain, No Love drama page, I blocked them so idk if they got banned or are still there.

I never thought to keep a spreadsheet for my blocklist, I may need to start doing that. 

All of a sudden I can’t see that particular forum posting - did MDL remove it?

after several weeks, multiple comments that I reported for being seriously misogynistic are still up for everyone to see. I’m losing patience with this site.
