BLOCKING PEOPLE

I am so happy for you that the data breach doesn't bother you or the fact that we all come up in regular google searches. I don't care if people know we are ethically non-monogamous, but I prefer to control when/where/why they know, to whatever degree I might be able to do that.

Fake numbers for age and weight makes absolutely no sense given that the goal is to find someone who wants to get naked with you... unless you're okay with people who are okay with lies.

You do you. No need to project.

I might sleep with a 99 year old that's a lite as a feather. If they have face pics..??????????????

I agree with the age weight question. I see that and to me it says your not honest about what your posting there so why should I believe anything else you may have posted.

Side question... wtf is the point of 99 as age and/or zero for weight???

Had a funny occurance related to blocking. There was a person I blocked (or that blocked me) that created a new forum topic that I really didn't want to see anyway. It was just more harping on the supposed difficulties of finding "truely" Bi women. It had 3 posts total, with the last one being someone I blocked. Other than the base note, none of it showed up, which actually wasn't a bad thing ;-)

I make good use of block feature.

Helps weed out people who don't respond,. Are surfing for pictures.

Or are not of interest to us.

the only people we usually block are the rude obnoxious people in the forums, but do what's right for you

Another reason to block: A couple of weeks ago, we received a Message from a couple late on Monday afternoon, asking if we wanted to hang out that night. Their profile said they had been members for about a month. They were both 32 years old. We politely replied saying we were flattered by their interest, but as it says in our profile, we weren't interested in people who were in their 30's or younger.

Last night, we received a message from that same couple, asking if we wanted to get together to hang out. The message came in at 10:21pm. We're not opposed to later night play, but we usually like to get started a little earlier than that.

So........didn't read the profile (or read it and decided our wishes should be ignored), and didn't read the Message in the window directly above the one they sent last night. Worthy of a block........

If you can see their profile, you are not blocked by them.

If you click on their profile and it says they blocked you then they blocked you and shouldn’t be able to view your profile.

If it says the are blocking single males they they have a blanket block against all SMs. Under these circumstances they can look at your profile but you can’t look at theirs nor can any other SMs.

Not sure if I'm blocked or not by this one couple. They show up on my "Who has viewed me", but not on the "matches" lists. The "Who has viewed me" shows that they have not signed on in a couple of months which is highly irregular for these folks. Just wondered, no big deal. If anyone has any insight into what to look for if you're blocked let me know.

We make liberal use of the block feature for forum trolls, fake profiles, cluless single males and for people who flake out after scheduling a meeting. We also have blocked extended family members who are also on the site lol.

Mayhem, we were blocked by them too at one point. No idea why. They eventually unblocked us. More recently we’ve been blocked by ggmm, again, no idea why but we’re not bothered by it. It’s her prerogative

As far as the OP’s question about warning others about couples the met that they had an unfavorable experience with id have to say that’s tricky.

If the sex wasn’t good or personalities didn’t click then keep it to yourself. That all comes down to personal taste. If they brought out hot branding irons, pulled off their condom to go bareback without permission, made you drive their getaway car after a robbery or told you they have some nasty, communicable disease then you may want to let your friends know.

For people that we personally meet or were about to, if we have irreconcilable differences AND it devolves into back/forth online banter, then we have blocked people. Pretty rare, but it has happened and is likely the primary reason block exists.

We have a number of people that visit our profile a lot but apparently don't want to meet, but that really doesn't bother us. Kind of flattering in a way.

As for forum folks, if you look up the definition for "internet troll" and I get the impression their intent in most/all of their posts meets that definition, I have blocked them. I avoid the Politics thead these days mostly for this reason.

I'm sure there are other reasons to block and ironically, I noticed I've recently been blocked by a certain couple that periodically deletes all of their posts. Only reason I know this is when a blocked person posts something, you'll see their profile name in a much smaller font on the forums page. Not sure why they did this but everyone can have their own reasons for blocking.

So we have now changed what we do on SLS and YES blocking those that are so NEGATIVE every single day.. we just do not come here to listen to what they spew.. choices.. and yes we have no problem doing so.. also those who are fakes, failed to show up and those with multiple profiles under different names.. it just makes our SLS experience so much better!

Its a sex site people not FB as some think it is.

When where and how to block is up to the person/couple doing the blocking. As far as talking about an experience with someone else especially naming names (even screen names) that is the absolute worst thing you can do. The lifestyle is all about discretion for most folks out there. Even for those who are open with anyone and everyone about what they choose to do talking about those you do it with or not is a big no. There really is no place for discussing your experience with others unless it is talking with your significant other or the actual folks you experienced it with. In all honesty talking about someone to someone else especially in a negative connotation is a real scummy move be it in or out of the lifestyle.

I generally reserve blocking for people who post on the forum, but I've blocked a few obnoxious dick pic senders and those who get unpleasant in my inbox. And, no, I don't pass along that I've had a less than stellar interaction, because everyone is different and what doesn't work for me is likely to work just fine for the next folks.

I periodically block people. There are those that never respond, those that keep viewing us looking for new photos, many of them state they are looking for a female but advertise for couples. I feel that 'blocking" is the best way to find closure and "weed out" those that are not serious at all. I wish people were genuinely serious about meeting for sex not just wasting time, and ruining others chances to meet and have fun. How do you all feel about blocking? One more gripe: When you meet with a couple and play or not, and have a less than favorable experience, do you tell others about them when you meet?
