Seems they have most enthusiastically proven your point at that !! lol That said, I do like having a block function like in Disqus forums, that way I no longer need to even see such nonsense. I guess the difference is whether one is merely a reader or a content creator. If a content creator Blocks someone, then they can no longer comment…
Seems they have most enthusiastically proven your point at that !! lol That said, I do like having a block function like in Disqus forums, that way I no longer need to even see such nonsense. I guess the difference is whether one is merely a reader or a content creator. If a content creator Blocks someone, then they can no longer comment ? I don't know how that works. But if a reader blocks another reader, then the comments of the Blocked are no longer visible, only to the person who blocked it, while everyone else can still see their ludicrous spew. I don't use a reader to reader Block , very often, but as a particular site gets overrun by blatant stupidity, it becomes increasingly handy. Usually a short time before bailing on the site entirely. Gateway Pundit comes to mind. At times I click a link that is posted elsewhere and it takes me back there, then reading the comments reminds my quickly of the reason why I stay away. lol
I do think something needs to be worked in to collapse side conversations that go on and on that usually have nothing to do with the piece. Or just reminders to try to stay on topic or just generally try to contribute and not hog up all the comment space.
Oh, .. you mean like when someone blasts the same three or more comments, ... several times over ? Or just general two party chit chat? ..... Or both? lol
