[QUOTE="Yellowing, post: 749764, member: 72894"] I'm not against blocking personal messages. This is not the correct way of handling such issues. Although this forum is mainly about security, it is just as much about responsibility. (It was in response to hearing about being able to block user posts - which is what I thought you wanted until I heard it is already possible) Because it is identical to the idea of implementing "safe-spaces" on campus. It enables people to block everyone who disagrees with them. All possibility to ever change your perspective is nullified if you do so. Not having this mechanic is a way of protecting them from themselves. It is sometimes the responsible way to let them sort it out themselves. It may stop bullying and harassment, but on the other hand they don't learn from any of this. And you do learn from conflicts very much. You develop character and social-skills. Just look at SJW or LGBT-people that oppress everyone because they think they are oppressed. They can't handle conflicts and then escalate them until they put [B]new laws[/B] are in place! Furthermore, you won't be able to follow and have discussions if all you see is one side. I'm sure they are doing a good job. Let them do it. Unless they are hopelessly under-staffed. :) But, yes, I am pro-blocking if it comes to personal messages. And user should be able to decide themselves in this case. [/QUOTE]
