I didn't think of that. I would like to think that was the case. I'm too sensitive :/

I can't even begin to imagine why someone would block you. But like Vita said, it could be by accident. If it was deliberate then I really wouldn't worry dear Cinnamon, if they block you without reason then they're not worth your worries really. Blocking someone without even trying to speak to you about what's bothering them shows pettiness and is just cowardly in my opinion. And not worth you worrying over :)

A lot of new players (myself included) are coming from Tumblr, where its pretty common to block people to prevent drama if you can tell that there'd be a big personality clash. I know it seems a bit immature, and it might be, but for That website at least (where theres minors) its a good habit to get into to prevent a lot of stress. Maybe its just the tumblr folk doing that still?
Or like others said, its by accident. I saw another thread where people say that its apparently decently common that accidental blockings happen.

Seconded. I would worry about limiting blocking people because I think people deserve the right to curate their online experience into something they enjoy, but I also realize what works on tumblr won't work here since this is a totally different site. Tumblr is about content sharing and Bimboland is way more focused on socializing. I think having people write the reason they block someone, maybe with a list of pre-written common reasons to block someone and then an 'other' option where you write the reason if it isn't on the list, would help.

But if someone blocks someone because of voting on debates or fights is this considered cheating then? And if so do you (as in anyone who wants to pitch in with their thoughts) think blocking should still be allowed in a situation like that, or is it unfair? I'm really conflicted because on one hand obviously cheating sucks and should not be tolerated, but also if stopping cheating affects others' ability to make themselves feel comfortable in an online community that's bad too...

i agree which is why i dont really understand why people on this site make blocking into such a big deal. i have and will block anyone that i dont want to interact with for whatever reason and i dont feel it is petty, at least most of the time im doing it for my own sake of mind. if that bothers you then maybe you should consider what you mightve done or said to push someone to the point to where theyd block you

that being said re: blocking someone because they challenge you too much, its mainly just getting irritated by being farmed for outfit/debate wins i assume. sometimes players will challenge people over and over that they know they can beat and its annoying to lose so much to someone because they abuse the system like that and if someone has blocked you then they cannot challenge you anymore

my problem with limiting the number of people you can block is that you cant control people and someone may get harassed by a group of people or there just might be a bunch of rude people that just flock to a person. in my experience on this site i have been sexually harassed by multiple users in dms and stalked and harassed by another, that already probably adds up to whatever you may think the limit on how many people i should be able to block should be, meaning i would not be able to block anyone else if i needed to which really sets off my anxiety because i would not be able to protect myself lol

i keep going back to this to add on to it but i honestly hate the fact that users on this site get notified when they are blocked so much. its the main reason why i was continuously harassed by the stalker i mentioned earlier, i had deleted my old account here where he had harassed me on and when i made my new account i immediately blocked him in order to avoid him but it backfired as he was notified of it and figured out who i was and harassed me on every single thread i posted on afterwords
