You won't know Captain, because you won't be able to see their posts. No need to block them back because once one person blocks the other, neither of you can see each other's posts.

So what I am asking
If I have been blocked by the Originator of a thread is it fair play for me to Block the Friend of an Enemy of Mine who gives me an OOPS

@Joe Blow, it's important to consider the importance of "return blocking" as mentioned by @Captain_Chaza. This approach "reverse blocking" effectively revokes the other member's privilege to read his posts when they temporarily "remove" their two-way block to view his content.

In other words, if only one person initiates a block, they (the blocker) can simply in a sneaky way "temporarily remove the block", allowing them to read his posts when they want to "at will". After they have done so, they then have the option to re-establish the block to "retain control".

As I read it, the captain wants notification when a "two-way" block is initiated on him so he has the right to do the same. I believe it is a privacy concern for him.

# Then again, I could be wrong in making this assumption.

Skate.
 
As you Should all Know by now
When I Block
I Block for Life!
That is why I ask the question

Mutiny and disrespect weighs very heavy on this Captain
As you have all probably noticed '" There are no trolls on My Ship"
 
I'm over all this rubbish, all the rubbish on this thread, blocking my enjoyment of a top Australian Investing and Trading Forum.

It is irritating.

Now lemme see.

There was a way, back in the noughties, in 2006 or so, to block a thread.

When difficult people were probably biting their mother's nipples.

Ah, I believe I have found it.

Quite sad really.

The first time I've ever had to do this on ASF.

Block a thread.

Ah well, this progress, or is it ???

On with the dance.

I am very saddened.

That is fair enough. I didn't consider a scenario where a person who is blocking someone else later deciding to lift that block and the implications that may arise from that. However, there is no way for a person to know who is blocking them in the sense that there is no list available to them.

My advice would be to only block those for whom a compelling reason to block exists. To block too many people will deprive you of viewing content that you may find educational or informative. It may also make reading a thread difficult or disjointed. Blocking others is in no way a "cure all" to any irritation you might feel from reading their posts and in reality may even be a proverbial double edged sword. It may take just as much as it gives.

So please use it with caution and take some time to evaluate the effect it has before deciding to make it permanent.
 
I generally avoid taking part in discussions on this forum because of the block function.

It's completely antithetical to open discussion.

So many people are snowflakes these days, blocking is very popular. Like that if you like, but if it's a two way block, anyone who posts anything which isn't completely bland starts getting blocked and that person is unable to read part of the conversation.

People are heavily polarised these days. You could potentially have two entirely separate discussions on the same thread on the same topic which two separate echo chambers existing with completely different perspectives in each, and no one being able to see the opposite perspective, which is the most valuable one for them to see.

A person can post as much dishonest material as they like and block anyone who calls them out, meaning they can block any criticism of their lies.

It's conceptually terrible, it's sad that people are so feeble that they can't just ignore what they don't like, but to have people removing other people's ability to see what's being discussed is completely pathetic. I'm surprised there's so much support for such a function, I'd be ashamed to support such a thing.

@Sdajii well put Sir/Madam.
I don't believe in blocking as I have stated previously.
If the post or topic doesn't interest me then I just don't bother with it.
I know that I am blocked presently, which doesn't rate a rats with me anyway.
 
Sdajii, there maybe another side of the intention of double block (I could be wrong in my assumption). It can be good n useful to some pple who may be sensitive to opinion n words. Eg.. a post may be a joke to a reply while the recipient may read it as abusing words, this may turn into a harmful situation. So double block is useful..See no Monkey, Read no Monkey and Both party is Happy.

While on the other side of the coin, I can relate to the frustration that...You could potentially have two entirely separate discussions on the same thread on the same topic which two separate echo chambers existing with completely different perspectives in each, and no one being able to see the opposite perspective, which is the most valuable one for them to see.

To All members in the Forum...Have a Good Trading Day...

I blocked him some time ago. Is it Captain Chassa or Captain Chazza or Captain Chasa or Captain Chaza ?

Maybe Captain Lonely. Surely there isn't a single member our thin skinned mariner hasn't put on ignore yet?

Getting Tattooed (Top Reasons People Do It)

Tattoos are rich in history and there are many reasons people get tattooed. Learn the history and common practices of this body art.

On the darker side of the tattoo world, there are prison tattoos and designs used amongst gang members to affiliate themselves with one another on the street. The history of prison tattoos are being brought back into discussion with the upcoming release of
Tattoo Nation, which documents the history of black and grey portrait tattooing from the streets of Los Angeles, and their start in the Chicano based tattoo shop, Tattooland.

Marked men: The secret codes and hidden symbols of Australian convict tattoos​

AUSTRALIA was one of the world’s most tattooed nations when convicts were inked with symbols which carried secret meanings.

If a person is known by an easily visible tattoo, if there is a need to hide it becomes quite difficult. If they show a picture of themselves with a tattoo on a website people may be looking out to find you as in a competition.
