*Sigh....* So about blocking people
3 years ago
Okay, so... lets get one thing straight;
I do not block people for nothing; I usually do have a reason for the blocks;
The more frequent motives that I block people are:
1- If they are acting in a way that makes me uncomfortable
2- If they are doing scummy practices for YCH's
3- If they are a minor trying to ERP (or just RP in general) with either me or another person on the web whilst lying about their age
4- If they have done ill to me or my friends.
4.1- just very outrageous behavior in public i will also do a preemptive block
5- If they have maliciously broken my TOS on commissions or broken my auctions rules (ei. backing out without warning/heads up) or another person's auction rules in a more outrageous way
6- If they are trying to get me to talk to someone to unblock them or if they sending me a msg ask me to blank unblock someone.
7- If I had a falling out with the other person and I need space
8- If they are being too aggressive or pushy
9- If they are frequently requesting Free Art from me when Im not offering (I do have a form for that)
So why am i doing this journal? Cause I been receiving quite a few shouts and msg both here and twitter asking me to unblock one individual after said individual; a)- asked for free art & a blanket FA unblock, b-) when blocked on twitter they when on a rant on a picture he uploaded and openly asked their friend to @ me on twitter; c-) when that didn't work he became aggressive saying that he 'wanted to get nasty' alongside mild threats of reporting me to FA staff for blocking him (?); d-) has gone to several profiles and told people to either msg me to unblock him or saying that they shouldn't watch me cause 'im a jerk'; e-) had on their profile that I'm his current enemy linking to my actual page. f-) Made a journal saying I'm officially a jerk (ty for the title btw, waa kinda funny to read). g-) Has gotten more people to msg me on twitter and on shouts to unblock him. And more recently h-) opened a new account (for what I assume would be evading the block) and commented flattery on one of my uploads.
So ye... I'm not going to be mentioning usernames but if that person is reading this, while I appreciate the nice complementing comment ya posted this morning, that does not clean the slate of all the harassment, aggressive gestures, name calling, block evasion, and all else; I don't know what you were trying to accomplish with me unblocking you, but it think that bridge has been burned a long while ago once you said you 'wanted to get nasty' and that I'm "going to be sorry". You aren't entitled for people to send you a reason before they block you. Does it suck to get blocked? Yes, often it does suck quite a lot; I also been on the other side of this; but let me tell you that there are better ways to go about these kind of stuff; on each turn you have gone thru all the wrong ways giving me more of a reason to not unblock you. The best advice I can give is that if someone blocked you, 99% of the times is better to not pay mind and just move on.
For everyone else, sorry about that long wall of text, things have been quite hectic IRL with job searching, Commission work and such, I just needed to get this out of my system. ~u~ what a ways to commemorate a week of being 25 uh?... I'mma try to upload quite a few more pictures soon
P.S. I'm only letting some of my friends know who this individual is in order to do a preemptive block since they might be at higher risk of getting a msg from said individual and i don't want them to also be harassed; otherwise I will not be saying who it is even if asked in PMs

I care very much for you, I wouldn’t want to cause you trouble or stress
He sounds like a real hassle. I hope there is some way you can repel him, manchildren are really hard to deal with.
hope with that things get resolved soon
Guy's got all the subtlety of a train wreck on a boat.
I can understand the frustration of being blocked when you don't know why or when. But do you know what I do when such a thing happens? I just put them on block too and forget about it.
This guy clearly does know why he was blocked, has been explicitly told by multiple people to cease, yet he's still doing it.
That's all anyone should need to know.
Im also hopeful I can get a job soon, it will be a huge weight of my shoulders xwx Ty for all the well wishes!
Well i dont have you blocked nor have you ask me or threten me to unblock people so ya are good in my book.
(I know I’m late for this but I wanna send my support to you at least.)
