Blocking Members - The Poll

How important is blocking a member site wide to you?
Blocking a member site wide is very important to me
It would be nice, but I don't really care
I still want them to be able to read my blog and view my profile
Just keep it the way it is

It is THE most important improvement that this sight could make in my opinion!


Star light, Star Bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight: Find me the man who when he sees me, his heart fills with joy, a man who wants to tell me about his day, a man who will text me just say, Hi - I was thinking about you, a man who knows I make his life better by being a part of it.

It can really cut down on how people harass and abuse each other. It will make this a nicer place to be. Privacy and security in all forms need to be taken seriously.

It would be great to block stalkers...and I mean that in the most literal sense...and this is from a stalkee...

I have to assume that the people who want the status to stay the same have blocking issues, no?

Blocking completely-is the only way to proceed--and protect those members who have real issues with others and their harassment of them while on site...And as Lesbian Date Network has access to IP information--if they come back--shouldn't be too hard to catch them--albeit perhaps a process tedious at best. Just my thoughts...Good thread

Not had to ban any one so far as the person i would have loved to have banned and tried over the years has 6 different profiles,4 women ones,a couple and a guyshe or it gets about,at one point and i'm one of the oldest bloggers here,i had to delete all my blog as i got personal threats to my health and safety,but in the end i sorted it out by pretending to be friends as they say keep your friends close keep your enemy's closer,she is still about and still still causes shit with everyone.

I've seen good paying members leave in fear of there personal lives being exposed,threats of violence,and yet there all still here in there silly immature disguises,the site does nothing to protect any one,never has and sadly i believe never will

For what ever reasons people are here,standard through to gold,all deserve an amount of protection from the nutters that thrive on this site.

Its a great site with great people but sadly a few rotten apples do run the good ones out of town.

i'm here to stay

I think it would be a wonderful addition. I have another blogger with whom I have a petty and juvenile on-going problem. We banned each other for it, and now, although I never go to visit her blog, she comes to mine to vote disagree on everything positive anyone puts down. Can you do something about nasties like that? View my blog if you want to show proof. And if you like, I'll even give you the name of that awful woman. Thanks for asking anyway!

Well you know my answer as I have said it so many times, I want the full blocking because I have had problems with a few couples and a few guys harrassing me or being abusive to me and even though I have reported them nothing gets done.
At least if there was a full site block they couldn't view my profile or contact me on IM chat, which would make my time on here more enjoyable

I ll not even to discuss that ''Blocking a member site wide is very important to me''Because if I use the block button it must be a good reason.

It would seem the ayes have it. Personally I would like to actually be able to block someone across the site, but would this apply with those who just change their name and profile info? If not don't bother raising my hopes.

Considering all the kooks out there a total ban is only logical for the safety of Lesbian Date Network members, but that will not solve the problem, if the person wants to harass you they will get another profile and come at you ...

I am not sure how bad the cases have been where people are upset about "their stalker," but given the nature of this site and the high rejection rate...I would say that it would depend on the nature of the stalking
If someone is obviously hurt and expressing themselves verbally their opinions or beliefs, then some tolerance should be considered. Of course, respect is an issue.

If someone is expressing their pain of rejection or ire disrespectfully, then no I think that they should be blocked from your profile, and or your blog.

If someone has threatened you in someway and it has risen to the level that you feel unsafe, in anyway, I feel that person should be banned period. NO EXCEPTIONS****

Zero Tolerance should be considered and people should look elsewhere to make that kind of trouble.

Blocking people from viewing what you have said though is a mystery to me...Why eradicate them from understanding? Why not allow them to see the differences through time? For some people it takes more time to come to the same conclusions you did, about why things were not working... Understanding could make the difference in the future for them in dealing with others.

If however someone is abusive towards you personally, then I do believe they should be banned. NO exceptions No blocking

I'm Just Sayin'--Seriously?

We should certainly be able to block people from viewing our profiles and commenting and voting-all of it. Someone please tell me, what does blocking do now? just sending emails?

I don't know that much about how the site works (just post in groups and visit rooms) but I can't understand how people behave appallingly and get away with it.. and just keep coming back with different handles. If they're to be believed, Lesbian Date Network is a huge organisation and should be able to block these people permanently. Try avoiding your debts by going down to the bank and opening a new account in a made-up name, with no ID, and see how far you get...

I hope by "site wide" you mean they will be unable to view our profile, blogs, videos, cams, etc.

That is VERY important. We are all familiar with Internet stalkers.

first of all i agree on nascarsfox if it is blocked then they cant read or write anything as for shyut she is wrong i never say anything in her blog any more she has come ionto my blog and even wrote a few nasty blogs about me so i blocked her for good she cant come in my blog her and her nasty friends any more i blocked them all and if she doesnt know how to block some one well not my problem it is hers a person has to know how to block the right way instead of bitchen they cant keep us out of there..i just go in there to see if she is talking about me i dont like her blogs period or her eye ball..

I think it would be wonderful to be able to completely block someone! It isn't enough to just block them from commenting. These people can still view what you are saying. It is a huge violation of privacy! People get blocked for a reason. I no longer blog to the extent that I once did due to the fact that I was unable to completely block someone. I do not want to close my blog as it is a punishment to myself to do so. I am not the person that deserves that punishment and neither are the people that drop in to view my writings- that are welcome to do so! I do not like to ask people to join my network to read my blog. That is just ridiculous! I truly miss being a part of the blogging community here the way that I was before. xoxo T

Let me offer u comfort, rest,& peace.

Why block some one they will just have there friends and all there other friends come and check out your page or blogs to see if they can find out what your up to and see if they can get things stirred up even more by gossiping and spreading lies that are not true .
