z4x Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I can block some other author from all of my content and still have access to all of his mods even though he can't download mine.The same thing happens other way around, its really demotivating working on mods knowing the fact someone who blocked me from his mods can still use mine. Looks like the biggest oversight in the history of this site? Possible solutions: If mod author "A" blocks mod author "B" from his content, make it automatically block author "B" from "A's" content Remove comment requirement for content blocking (currently you can't block someone if he hasn't commented in your files) Remove comment requirement for reverse-blocking only (requires you to be already blocked by other author) TL;DR: If I block someone from all of my content I shouldn't be able to download theirs.

showler Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Because blocking is meant to allow the mod author to avoid having to deal with problematic users. It's not meant to be retaliatory, so having it automatically place a reverse block makes no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showler Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Not what I meant. If "A" is causing problems on "B's" comment page and "B" bans "A" to put a stop to the problems, that doesn't mean that "B" was causing problems on "A's" comment page. There is no reason for an automatic reverse ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for an automatic reverse ban.The functionality clearly wasn't built around "reasoning" in the first place. When "A" posts anything on "B's" comment page then "B" can block him for no reason. People abuse this system because they lose nothing, as long as they don't post on their main account no one can ever block them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 have you been blocked off a mod page? is that why you're frustrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The mod author has wide latitude to block users because it is THEIR COMMENT PAGE. However, site moderators/staff can intervene if it is actually being abused. It rarely is. Regardless, there is no argument for building "retaliatory blocking" into the system.

z4x Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) The mod author has wide latitude to block users because it is THEIR COMMENT PAGE.Exactly, let me block whoever I want from MY COMMENT PAGES, just like you can block mod authors by writing their name.

showler Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Who can't you block? It sounded like you wanted an automated system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethreon Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Tbh I don't really understand what this person wants. You blocked someone and they can still download your content... and you don't want that? Or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
