Two-way block

[Skate]

What a good advice Skate..he or she shld have done it long time ago...avoiding all the stressful time abusing other members posting a line or two.

@Rabbithop, to me, @Captain_Chaza is a highly emotive individual, and there's no doubt that his actions and decisions are influenced by his emotions. However, it's important to acknowledge that despite this, he possesses some remarkable and distinct skills.

If I had the authority, I would propose discarding the concept of the "two-way block" entirely, as it seems to hinder rather than facilitate productive communication.

Furthermore, I would like to highlight that @Captain_Chaza demonstrates a great deal of wit in his posts. In particular, his contributions to the "Dump it here" thread are consistently well-received and valued by our small community. His ability to inject humor and provoke thought in those discussions is genuinely appreciated.

Its a great idea having a two way block then it stops the tit-for-tat spats

More pressing issue
I believe @Joe Blow has more pressing issues to consider than the "two-way block" such as the "Online Statistics" which are appalling by the way.

Skate, I have trouble saying nice things, but I would like you to know that you are one of the many members I admire for your kindness, understanding, non judgemental personality and is inclusive of all. You are one who understands that everyone is valuable and contributes in their own ways, no matter what.........so thanks for being flexible and all.

@Prepper Pete, I posted this "Quote of the Day" in the "Dump it here" thread recently, they are wise words.

"If you can't see the problem then there are no solutions required"

No, I can't see the issue. Unless you are somehow of the mistaken belief that the 952 "Guests online" are actually 952 living and breathing humans. Even if you were, I cannot understand how that would be "appalling", given the dictionary defines "appalling" as meaning "causing shock or dismay; horrific."

No, I can't see the issue.

I hate repeating myself
"If you can't see the problem then there are no solutions required"

Let me rephrase my previous response

No, I can't see a problem. I don't see how a statistics widget that the developers describe in these terms, "Displays a block of statistics with a break down of the current visitors on the forum and whether they are registered, guests, or robots." can be something that causes shock, dismay or in any way be horrific.

It's on the Home Page, bottom right.

Let me repeat it one more time
"If you can't see a problem then there are no solutions required"

Playing tennis with someone in this manner is not only tiresome but a waste of both our time & effort.

This is worth a read

I must make one additional point though. I will not look very kindly upon anyone who, after being informed that they have been placed on someone's ignore list, persists in making remarks about that person in their posts, or who continues to respond to their posts, knowing that person cannot see their replies. Once you have been told you have been placed on someone's ignore list, the onus is on you to back off and focus your energies elsewhere.

I have no problem with the ~ 1000 Visitors
My problem is with ~ half of the 22 members

Stay the course Joe as I would hate to see this forum turn into a cesspool like Twitter

Helpful Hint
@Captain_Chaza put your thread in the Private ASF member's forum "As the private forum is only accessible to registered ASF members"

Skate.

I doubt that will help the Captain because he has half of the members walk the plank into block oblivion anyway so he is in an echo chamber whatever he does.

I hope all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
Life is too short...

And if you really must know what someone who has you blocked is posting then log out and read ASF as an unregistered visitor. Or stay logged in on your main browser and use another browser to view ASF as an unregistered visitor.

Can I block the unregistered visitor as well?

@Country Lad after @Joe Blow made it known how other members could use a workaround to "view or spy" on his posts, naturally, it was upsetting for him - prompting him to ask: "Can I block the unregistered visitor as well?"

As @Captain_Chaza question was unanswered I gave him a method so "unregistered visitors" couldn't view his charts. I simply suggested that he put his thread in the Private ASF member's forum because a private forum is "only accessible" to registered ASF members.

# Using such a method that I suggested "means" his charts and posts are not visible to members on his "Blocked list" as well as "unregistered visitors".

@Skate the unregistered members can't see his charts anyway. They appear as unrecognisable thumbnails anyway and can't be expanded.

@Country Lad, it was a method I suggested so "unregistered members" don't have access to his posts. What @Captain_Chaza elects to post is hidden whether they are "comments or graphics" but I take your point.
