If everyone would just disable the "anonymous" feature every time they post a question or Take, none of this would be a problem in the first place. This is an answer to a problem that shouldn't even exist.
I've tried blocking and reporting a user who has been harassing me. They harass me as an annon then message me admitting its them. Yet nothing gets done
Blocked users cannot comment on YOUR posts but there is nothing stopping them from commenting on OTHER users posts. If you leave a reply to a third person, there is no blocking measures in place to stop your blocked users from also commenting to that person. If you feel their reply violates our guidelines though, please report it so we will be notified and can review it.
Why? It's a good option. I don't like to put myself out there on the internet. It's not only the case on GAG, but I write stories on different sites without exposing my identity. Some people just don't like to be out there.
Yes. I use anonymous for non-troling things. I know bad apples ruin the bunch but sometimes I have questions I don't want directly attached to me. I've asked some pretty personal questions on here that I wouldn't have asked without anonymous because some people are stalkers and weirdos. I don't want people holding onto awkward things about me that I'm divulging to get help with. I also answer questions and offer up some details I'd rather not expose openly. For one example, in the past, I've dated a fellow GaG member. Of course I knew better to ask questions on here, even anonymously, that would have referred to us directly because he's a pretty clever guy... he would have known it was about us. But later, after the relationship, I've occasionally referred to our relationship and how we solved certain things etc. A select few know about us, so, if I were to discuss it under my identity... at least a few people would know it was him. I can think of plenty of worthwhile uses for anon.

ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS MADE IN GAG HISTORY, EVER
About time!! I was wondering when this would be an option.
Well done GaG! I always love to use the anon feature but some people are just horrid and vile. Good idea.

After years of various users campaigning for this... the blocking anonymous trolls feature is finally here.
We shall rejoice! 8-)
I rarely have arguments with anonymous. I won't use it anyway.
Well your half way there. Now just make it so you can block that anon entirely.
I read through all the posts here. It would seem most are in favor & think it's a great feature.
damn it.
oh i mean... awesome... great stuff.

Its the U. S judicial system bleeding into GAG 😟
Legal system I meant.
I have this guy blocked and he called out my name to insult me. There is another guy who did the same thing. I reported him and you all did nothing
What can i do if I block someone and they still mention me and insult me?

Thank you... I did
If I comment on someone's post, but the asker harass me, can I block the asker for the specific post?
you can block the anonymous asker for that specific post, if the asker has already engaged with your opinion
Or just simply NEVER ALLOW ANY Anonymous responses in the first place.
This is the best change done recently.
Oh goodie! More censorship! Makes it easier to doxx and harass people! Fucking hell, this site is becoming shittier by the minute.
How do you unblock someone? I accidentally blocked one of my friends and I can't unblock them.
Please help me.
Go to there account and there should be an unblock button
If the asker is anon, will they still get to use this feature or do they have to be un-anon in order to block an anonymous poster on their question?
anon asker can block an anon-opinon giver too
i know lots of people were complaining about this. Nice to see GaG added this feature.
Thank goodness. Anon pieces of shit always keep replying because they can't be stopped
Come at me bro
wth y can't I be anonymous? :S
can anonymous be got rid of totally?
i find many use it just to make points they wouldn't usually, and to troll, abuse or other laughable/cowardly reasons.
would be better imho if people requested it from the admins.

I like this and it should hopefully stop trolling.
