How many are on your block list?

I think I have 4 or 5.....just added another couple

"Their entire profile disappeared! Like it never even happened lol!!"

Odd. That's exactly how a block works.

Unfortunately we have blocked several. We message people sometimes twice, and I know we are being a pest. When a couple weeks go by we block them, there are a few reasons why. One is so we do not continue to be a pest, two so they cannot continually see our updated photos, with no interest in us. We do not like to keep seeing profiles and photos of people that want nothing to do with us. The final and probably most accurate reason is that, they might post as a couple then when we make contact "HE" wants to meet with us as she is out of town. LOL We do not like to block but it becomes necessary. We would like to hear your reasons for blocking, are you getting the response you would expect, from couples wanting to meet?

Their entire profile disappeared! Like it never even happened lol!!

JerseyShoreCouple,

Did only the conversation disappear, or did their profile disappear as well?

We have had conversations disappear for days or weeks for unknown reasons.

Nobody is currently on our blocked list, but just yesterday we were contacted by a couple who read our profile then reached out and opened their private pix for us. When we responded and opened our privates the conversation disappeared….oh well…lol !!

Oddly enough 242, nothing to do with our screen name

Same here HOP it makes OUR journey much better !

Many, especially the repeat offenders who contact so many profiles they cannot remember who they've already contacted in the past or those who stalk and beg more than once.

Maybe under 10 on my block list but it's typically all the same reason: profiles that completely out themselves as clearly inauthentic. Typically we just ignore any messages that are no-effort. But anytime someone just makes blind "pic requests" or send unsolicited dick photos without any sort of conversation get straight on blocked. And pretty much anyone who gets pissed when they learn we really don't have intimate photos on here.

I have no one block! I have been blocked by two people I don't even know or spoken to.

Still zero.

We don't block many (only a few who were actually threatening), not even the dirtbag guys/couples. We don't block so we can see what they are doing, or what events they might be attending. We also do it so we can see who and where they contact so we can warn off good friends from the offending member.

So, flakes and the obnoxious beware! Swingers do talk.

It matters how someone uses Block. Some use it like me to just block rude people. I have 35 on my list after 10+ years.

Others use it for that plus someone that they just wouldn't consider playing with (i.e. simply not a match). This can be a much larger list.

Only 12 in the last 18+ yrs. Hopefully that's because we both work on updating our profile and we vet people out and exchange phone numbers before we meet. The ones we recall blocking were vile young men that showed no couth or respect, contrary to the gist of our profile. We especially can't quite figure out the persistence of some young men that seem to think they are "different" in regards to our minimum age requirements. Like the no means no for someone else. Maybe now, at our advancing age we value the love, friendships and values of our bedpartners much more and tend to refrain from hook ups and oneoff's that chance opportunities present. Let's just say that this year we mailed out 80 Christmas cards and most of them were people we truely love that we have met on SLS

Goodenuff - "I don't know how accurate it is, but the "Flyover" shows when the last time a profile was logged on."

You know, I could have sworn I saw that someplace on this site, and that is where. Thanks for the reminder.

"AFAIK you cannot see when the last time was that someone logged into SLS. "

I don't know how accurate it is, but the "Flyover" shows when the last time a profile was logged on. I think it also shows when you click on the profile to see what it has to say.

Of course if a profile is on your "Blocked" list, you can't see the profile for either of those to work.

Mayhem good point Will reconsider my strategy.

MNJFLA - When you say "we delete them", does that mean you block them?

If Yes, then they of course would not be able to ever see or contact you. Unlike some sites, AFAIK you cannot see when the last time was that someone logged into SLS. If we were in your area and you reached out while we were on a 10 day cruise, we'd have no idea and you would never have the opportunity to meet us simply due to bad timing.

We are nowhere near as proactive online as you are. If I did reach out to someone, I will likely capture that in an SLS Note. This at least lets me know that I have already tried to contact someone, when, and if I got an answer or not. The big thing is to know to not reach out to them again. If I'm on their profile, I will see that I have a Note about them so that prevents that from happening, but leaves the door open if they ever decide to reach out to us.

We haven't been on the site very long so we don't have many. Instead of blocking we typically just delete the message and forget about it.

However, it is very easy for us to forget about people. The oversexual messages right off the bat just wreak desperation. Typically the men ruin things almost immediately.

Correct. The reciprocal blocking does not happen anymore.

The list on the favorites page will show who you have blocked and any profiles that were there from the reciprocal blocking days will still be there unless you have removed them.

There a few different ways to know that someone has blocked you. One was already mentioned in that you can see that profile as the most current responder to a thread, but you cannot actually see those post (unless it is the original post). Another way is if you did have contact with them and now the email history is gone from your list, it usually means they have blocked you. And another is when your type of profile is blocked as a whole, you will the message that that user has blocked single men/women, couples, etc.

Our blocked list only shows people who blocked us before one of the great site improvements meant to enhance user "something". People who blocked us (2 that I know of) after that improvement don't show up on that list.

I assume it shows people you've blocked both before and after that "improvement". We only blocked a couple of people, including all of their known to us profiles before the improvement, so I'm guessing about the post improvement block listing for profiles you block.

In short, we don't block people unless they attack Mrs. G- who never participates. Ignoring/not responding works fine for me. :-)

My list shows both.

Although they have changed the block.

It used to be reciprocal, meaning if someone blocked you, you automatically blocked them.

Now it is one way.

Maybe that's it.
