Blocked for no reason?

People shouldn't take it personally if they are blocked, which could be for a multitude of reasons. Maybe a couple notices a lot of single males viewing their profile and decide to block all single males for a while because they aren't interested in them at that time. Ditto for single females, which I have blocked because I'm not interested in them at all. Other times a block might happen because you are not their type and they either don't want you looking at them again or don't want you to view them at all. Maybe you are blocked because they recognize you from work or socially and want to protect their privacy (has happened to me and I see the guy in the hallways everyday at work, although he doesn't know who I am). I block any male under the age of 28 who has viewed my profile, especially the 19 through 25 crowd, because, well, it's just creepy to have them hitting on me. The list goes on, just accept it as a part of sls life and move on.

Why is that creepy? SLS gives us that option. it’s not like he’s reading over your shoulder as you’re making notes in your diary.

I couldn't understood when I first came in the scene of experience the same thing. I have been blocked by a few people that I had viewed and never wrote them a message before.

I would say don't even sweat it, at least the person who block you not causing you any trouble.

I have found that people forget they've messaged you and keep trying. Super annoying. I hate the "hi". Not that people even read profiles. I still get messages from people in surrounding states. Even a proposal from ohio to move to Florida and start life iver again. He even read through my posts on the forum. Super creepy!

Today I started clearing out our messages. Since messages STILL don’t archive to profiles, and I don’t feel like constantly making notes, I’m blocking those that message us with spam, one liners or that just aren’t attractive to us.

This way I clear out our message log and don’t have to try to remember if they messaged before.

Not something I want to do or think is a good solution but this half assed messaging system has annoyed me to the point of blocking people I may change my mind about later. Oh well.

Once again SLS, can we get a refund for our lifetime membership and just leave this place? No? Going to take everyone down with the ship? Aye aye ye scurvy pirates.

Need to admit i m block in last 10 days a lot... :) maybe better now we clean who really worth to have nice conversations

We try to only block trolls, but we have blocked some that just won't take "No" for an answer.

It's always a bit of a shock to see the message that we've been blocked, probably because of how we use that feature ourselves. It makes us feel like we've done something to offend.

hotluvrs,

Why would you give a fat rat’s ass WHAT an obvious pair of arrogant people do
or don’t do? Don’t waste energy.

Well, I’m feeling pretty good about myself. They haven’t block us... yet.

Is there a filter I am not aware of for Blocking? Kind of like an instant reply to an e-mail (I'm out of the office kind of thing)?
It was kind of weird, I viewed "OU812N69" (Great name BTW) Their profile opened up so I was able to read their profile but when I clicked on their gallery, a message came up saying "you're not authorized" So I thought that was different but cool, at least I got to read what they were about. Not that I would reach out to them, they obviously don't want singles, it's just me being curious.
In the past I would click on a couple's profile (even if the single male indicator was not filled in) just to see their pics, (her profile pic is hot so I just have to look right?) and you would get an instant "No access to single male notice" What a bummer, seeing that sexy ass just went down the drain. OH well, so then you stop wasting time, clicking on those types of profiles.
After reading the comments here regarding "PearlWhiteStream" I went back to try OU81269 once again thinking there was a glitch in the system and BAM!! Instantly BLOCKED!
I'm not Butt Hurt over it or anything, I just thought that was kinda quick, so maybe there is an automatic filter or something?
I agree with "hotluvrs" point of view on PearlWhiteStream too, they found a way to make this system work for them and if it works for the, so be it. BTW, I like their profile, it's to the point, no BS. Not that I would reach out to them either.

BT...Maybe they got tired of seeing you pop up on their random matches? You know... "this guy may be 1000 miles away from you but there may be an interest" type thing. Or perhaps they're recovering alcoholics and can't risk seeing your profile pic for fear of falling off the wagon. Either way they would seem to have a longer list of those blocked than friends.

Just poking a little fun with the Stripes reference. Godspeed John Glenn... and all that to em.

I think you guys (“y’all”, in the local parlance) are being a little harsh in regards to Pearlwhitestream..

They made it clear that they use block as a tool to help them filter profiles. It’s not personal, or emotional. It’s probably an effiecient time saver for them. Everyone on this site has their own methods of sifting through profiles. Their method works for them.

Pearlwhitestream blocked me too, and I had absolutely no interaction with them beforehand. oh well....

Nothing new.... i have similar experience. I clean that option. It's ok to block message from sm but that block all profile i m not for that... why we pay?

Yeah...I looked at their profile based on their forum post and sure nuff, they blocked me.

BT

...any a you weirdos look at our profile, We’ll block ya!.. ...Lighten up, Francis...

Pearlwhitestream,

Actually, I think that you are blocking WITH prejudice.

it could just simply be that they looked at your profile and didn't feel like you were a match, so they blocked you.

Here is the absolute single best reason. We do not have the time to scroll through the 100's of profiles "We" are not interested in. Once blocked they out of our search time since the technology offered here is barely user friendly. Who has the time to scroll through profile after profile of "No-goes" trying to just see something that "might" be what your looking for? We block without prejudice.

Just happened to us tonight. While checking to see "who viewed me". Never saw the member before but stats/pic was attractive but after clicking to see the profile it says we've been blocked. It's a free member so we couldn't have reached out anyway. But definitely confusing. Oh well.

Thank you, gr8!

Well, they are sexy pair of legs.

Rabbit, it doesn't bother me that much, all they get to see is a pair of legs.

Blocked for no reason? There is always a reason, I suppose.

I believe most “blocking” gives some members here a sense of power that they do not possess in the real world, to “belong“ to a group (couples, single women or single men). Who the fuck knows?

The only real inconvenience for me is that it makes it difficult to properly respond in some of the games, where that particular person was the last responder......if I’m blocked I can’t see their response, but I CAN see their name, that they DID reply. I could simply ignore that they’ve responded and just reply over them, but that would be rude to other members and “blip” the game. So, I have to wait until someone else responds. That’s ANOTHER SLS System Bug that Wayne’s World will never fix. Not really a big deal, I guess. Like a little brother who constantly pisses you off.
I don’t block others, and for the most part, I do not intentionally, randomly cruise and look at other members’ profiles, if I do look, I usually send a “hello” message. I use a phone right now to view the site, and the phone is quirky......it pops open profiles spontaneously.

As most know, there really are a lot of very nice people so belong to SLS.

Maybe they want to be the ones to initiate contact.

They probably got tired of the horde of desperate single women that kept filling their inbox.
