If you block someone you automatically bock yourself from viewing their profile. Try it, block a profile then try to view them. It will only show i dialog box stating you have blocked them and not show you their profile
how do I block someone that blocked me
Good suggestions & advice here...I agree. Everyone probably has experienced something here they didn't like, one way or the other. My 2 cents worth is that the block feature should be allowed both ways at a minimum, don't have to view the whole proile, just minimum enough to know who it is or was, & execute the feature!!!! Especially if they're still popping up viewing your profile & hiding. Many sites do & always had that feature.
This is one of the biggest ongoing privacy issues with this fucking site. If I block someone or they block me, it should be for both parties throughout the site, for every feature. Blocking should completely make the blocked and the blocker INVISIBLE on this site to one another.
I guaranfuckingtee you the new site will be equally horrid. If they finally normalized the database and give us better filtering tools, I will eat my hat.
Hilarious . its called the forums and we are here.. so go get mad somewhere else!
Better yet.. its called a block feature use it .. so your feelings wont be hurt!
Who cares turn it off.. one less thing to worry about !
This just happened to me. I peeked at a couple that lives far away from me and they blocked me. If I blocked each and every couple that looked at me that lived far away. I would be in trouble. And for those of you that keep looking at me this gives me the creeps. And trust me I know who you are lol.. but I would like to be able to block those that block me and keep looking at me. It's only fair!
"He peeked at me again...and again: blocked to single females. A definite creeper I cant evade."
I think you can create a support ticket and request that management block someone for you if they have you or your category blocked.
There is a handsome-appearing gentleman who views me frequently. Never a message just viewing. Finally I decided to say hi to him. He was blocked to all single females. I thought he was not aware of it so I asked Wayne would it be inappropriate for Wayne to message him bringing this to his attention. He peeked at me again...and again: blocked to single females. A definite creeper I cant evade.
As a single male, I get blocked all the time, even though I will a polite message. I've had to block a few profiles and Wayne is correct, you select block, and then it asks you are you sure? 99.9% people know they are blocking you.
<p>The block feature already has a confirmation screen where you have to confirm that you want to block the member. On both the mobile app and when using a web browser.</p>
Sorillo, Maybe with the rebrand? Those are good ideas for confirming.
I'd like to see SLS put in a confirmation screen for blocks, because it's really too easy to do. Same thing with the friend and picture access requests.
It can happen accidentally. Especially if you are using a device other than a computer. Something similar happened to us. Fortunately we had exchanged phone numbers and the issue was quickly resolved. Most like when trying to grant permission to your private albums.
Though the blocking feature is helpful, we've had to use it handful of times for some aggressive singles who would not take "no thank you" for an answer, we are not convinced blocks do not inadvertently happen occasionally without one side initiating.
Three examples we've experienced
First one. On two separate occasions, we were looking at profiles of who will be attending an event we were going to, we discovered a profile had us blocked. In both instances we ending up meeting them at the events. We did not seek them out to ask mind you, in both instances we just happened to meet them and when profile names came up it was discovered. Both times, they had no idea we were blocked and removed the blocks afterwards. One claimed they had never blocked anyone before.
Second instance, a couple messaged us one evening introducing themselves and we exchanged messages. Standard introduction stuff - we liked you profile, cute pics, etc. Both sides seemed interested. When we went to reply the latest message, the message chain was gone. Our first though was we accidentally deleted it. The couple happened to have a hot date posted for that evening, when we clicked their profile, it came up they had blocked us. From their first message to the block was about 30 minutes.
The last instance, and the one that has us convinced blocks inadvertently happen without either side initiating, was a couple we have become very good friends with came up as having blocked us. We asked them, they laughed, asked why on earth they would block us? They checked and it came up that there was a block, which they immediately removed.
We did reach out to SLS support about the possibility of a block happening without either side initiating. Their response was that it cannot happen. However, like any IT issues, how do you troubleshoot a problem if you cannot recreate it? We mentioned the block from the couple we are friends with and the response was they must have blocked us.
We have accepted the idea that uninitiated blocks are going to happen. Moral of the story - The profile that blocked you, may not have actually blocked you. The only way they will notice is if you show up in the random matches or you post a hot date, they see it, try to view your profile and they receive the "you have blocked the profile..." message.
Exactly MC.. !
Move on and dont take it personal... many reasons to block some on SLS !
I believe that if you try to look at a profile you have blocked, you get a message that says you have blocked them and that you would have to unblock them to view that profile. So they can’t look at your profile either if they’ve blocked you.
As for turnabout being fair play, it’s probably best not to take being blocked personally . Many people on SLS do it as way to stop seeing those profiles that don’t match their interests. It’s not alway malicious.
They would have to unblock you in order for them to be able to see you. Basically both are blocked but the blocker has control. Not worth worrying about. I'd just move on and look for fun people.
someone blocked me that I never contacted
now I cant view their page but they can still view mine.
turn about is fair play.. I don't want them viewing my page if I can't view theirs
