i was looking through "my controls" just to see things on there since i don't normally do that and i looked at my "blocked list" not expecting to see anyone there and i had a lot of people on there!

how would that have happened?? they are not even people i would want to block and are not even people who i message with. i did not do this. not even accidentally.

i once had an issue where i thought someone had my password... then i changed it... and could that have been the issue? (someone accessing my account and doing that) or was it some sort of mistake?

again, they are definately people i would NOT have added to this list.

except:

"ohster" was on there and i totally would have added him ;)

The ability to block people is meant to be easy to get to, unfortunately its also easy to accidentally block them.

The "block" button is on every PM you get (the title-sender part) and thus it makes it really easy to accidentally click the [ Block] link rather than the actual user name under "sender" in the PM. Have a look in your inbox and see what i mean.

I have several test accounts, checked them all, there aren't any unusual blocked people on them currently. But, I did accidentally have a few people blocked back in the day before i realized how easy it is to accidentally click the wrong link and became more careful about it.

Also "send message" and "add user to block list" are fairly close together if you go into a users profile and click Options which if we are a bit click-happy or just not fully paying attention is easy to add to your block list.

Its a "problem" that occasionally pops up on the IPS admin forums but ease of use and "discover-ability" of the function seems to always win out over making it a more hard to get at feature.

Not the perfect system that's for sure, but then again nothing really ever is. The location of the block/ignore functions has been changed around at least 3 times over the various versions of IPB that we have had, always due to various lines of reasoning.

the problem for me is:

the people there were on my block list are people i have NEVER sent a PM to and who have also NEVER sent me a message. they were also people who's profiles i don't even ever look at...

honestly the only person on there that should have been on there was ohster. :p if i didn't put him there i was glad he ended up there ;)

oh jesus fucking christ on a god damn pogo stick.. i dug up his profile and he's got his ugly batshit mug with eye's popping out like he just OD'd on coke or something...

then i made the mistake of clicking on his website...

is somebody that stupid? To actually think someone is going to actually PAY to hear something some fucking reject is gonna play over the internet??

Also.. fail troll is fail... talking with a german accent is one thing.. but typing like you're talking with an accent?!?!

this guy, most likely, needs YEARS upon YEARS of therapy..

I know "about " him, but he was gone when I got here so I never had firsthand experience of his Ohster. Lucky me, I guess.
