Would you warn a person you were talking to ahead of time before you block them?

[Still-alive]

Lets say you've been talking with a person in a friendly way for awhile and they do or say something you didn't like and would normally block anyone else for. would you warn this person ahead of time like 'hey that wasn't cool' or 'please don't do/say stuff like that' before you block them?

I would warn them before blocking especially if we'd been talking awhile

Nah i would just block. doesn't matter if we been talking a lot before hand

Depends on what they said or did. i might warn them or might not warn them depending on that

i personally like to give warnings... but yeah only if i was talking to them regularly

[Cherry234]

It depends on what the person said or did. If someone I talk to disagrees with me and this person says something I don't like then I'll let that person know. However, if someone makes horrible assumptions about me or makes any attacks on my character then I'm going to just block that person with no explanation. For example, there was a guy on here who said he wants nothing to do with me and he was accusing me of supporting incest when I told him crushing on step siblings or wanting to date them isn't incest. I immediately blocked him. I told you about this.

[Still-alive]

yes i recall that person smh

[SecretsofKB]

I haven't blocked many, but I always give a warning. I would prefer that the person knows that they are doing something wrong...

[Still-alive]

yeah that is definitely preferable then never knowing at all

[HighlyVolatile]

Even the people I blocked on here without them blocking me first should be able to testify -- if they're honest -- that I told them to stop harassing me like 14 times in a row before I did. I don't just give warnings.

I give warnings in ways that even mentally handicapped people should be able to comprehend, and it was never based on dissenting opinions.

The people who know me on here know I got some dissenting opinions. I even called them fuck-face and shit throwers. I haven't blocked them, and some of them have become my online buds.

[Apulu_Imback]

I won't say exactly "I'm going to block you" most of the times but I would have mentioned in my previous chats things like You are making me uncomfortable, it isn't funny, please be more appropriate and all.

[Still-alive]

those are fair warnings

[meetkitty123]

I give warnings regardless of how long we've been talking I've had to warn a few people's because there are some guys who are very pushy and they don't get it and so that's when I had to be Stern if you don't control yourself I will block you and you will lose your privileges to talk to me

[TheLoneTerran]

Blocking or ghosting are immature and only kicking the can down the road, especially with people you might see again like family. Tell them to knock off whatever shit is making you consider blocking them, if they don't or they escalate, then block them. They had a chance.

[Yucy_Gluttony]

I have only blocked one person. I warned him I would block if he kept acting up the way he did. That said, he is the only person I blocked, the majority of you are very kind people and I'm happy fate lead me to find this little gem <3

[Still-alive]

awww well i'll probably dm you sometime then ;)

[Yucy_Gluttony]

Warning! I rarely check my inbox! I find conversing over the questions here more fun! :)

[Still-alive]

lol fine on here then :P

[Yucy_Gluttony]

Nice!

[JustinTheGreat]

depends on how close we are. Recently I just cut off someone I was friends with for a couple years. I told him respectfully that I didn’t like his behavior and I wasn’t interested in being his friend anymore.
However if it’s some random person I just started texting on the internet, I’ll just block or stop replying. I don’t owe an explanation to a complete stranger. If they get in their bag about me blocking them when we barely know each other, that’s their problem.

[LovingLoverReturned]

I always warn if u was close to the person... I don't threatened to block though I just tell them to stop. Like for example those sending dick pics or video calling me constantly and I don't want to speak like that

[LovingLoverReturned]

I*

Threaten*

[LovingLoverReturned]

I don't have my phone on automatic downloads so I usually just see a blurry picture.

[CrazyGirl2]

OMG YES! I practically BEG people to not force me to block them… I absolutely HATE blocking people, it doesn’t stop them from saying nasty shit about me, it just stops me from seeing it and thus being able to respond to their lies!

[Kaneki05]

I mean depends if you actually dm or not. If ya don't dm then no need. Many times I thought someone was alright but slut shamed someone and just blocked them even tho before we've had good interactions shrugs.

[skyeee_]

unless we're very close, they dont deserve the explanation after what they've done, or even a warn in that matter

[Still-alive]

whats something thats worth a block for you?

[skyeee_]

constant annoyance/bothering, rudeness, creepiness, it depends on the situation though. i just try to ignore and move on since they're just online peeps but i just ghost them out of the blue when im on my limit, even if there are lots of friends in common with them or I've known them for awhile

[Bubbles45]

Depending on the situation sure, other times it's easier to block and move on to save the mental headache of dealing with someone unpleasant.

That's just my general take on it.

[goaded]

I've blocked one person, once, for a week or so, in the last six years. I'd like the system to show that someone's been blocked and by whom.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I usually warn people if they are just going to keep insulting or attacking me or other users on my post I'll block them..

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I don't warn, because I don't block anyone.
I just stop replying/engaging with them if they become too much.

[Sour-rose]

No. Unless I like SOMETHING about you. Otherwise, a man are worth a penny a dozen. Women are worth much more. But still can get the same treatment.

[Slim57]

That sounds kinda sexist lol

[Sour-rose]

@Slim57 Maybe but it's true.

[Slim57]

@Sour-rose how so? Both seem to have pretty worthless individuals in either gender

[Sour-rose]

@Slim57 Past experience. All saying he same thing.
"Hi. How are you? Good. How ol-"
And deleted.

[Slim57]

@Sour_rose what are they supposed to say? If that's the reason men are worth a penny a dozen women literally don't say anything and can't hold a conversation if you mean talking online on a dating site or online or whatever, how are women worth much more? I know a lot of men can't hold a Convo either but still

[Sour-rose]

@Slim57 Just gets... predictable. And that's why they worth a penny.

[Slim57]

@Sour-rose and so do the women, so it seems the same to me

[menina]

Voted C. If what they said was serious I would block them right away.

[serious]

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Depends on me.

[Bluemax]

I have never blocked anyone. I don't intend to start.

[SlothySlob]

Personally, I find it redundant to block people. Unless the person in question is abusive.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I don't block people on G@G no matter how they treat me I just ignore them.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

If I was friends with them it would depend on what they said

[whereismyjohnny]

Depends on what they did.

[Still-alive]

what are reasons you'd block a friend without warning?

[whereismyjohnny]

Well, I think I’m a very tolerant person so I guess it would need to be something really bad they did or said because if they were like creepy or rude I’ll just tell them it bothers me and distance myself not block. I’d block them just if they really hurt me or crossed my boundaries.

[Still-alive]

seems like you give fair warning then

[ShadowMonarch]

There are various factors...

[Still-alive]

such as?

[ShadowMonarch]

My relationship with him/her
What are my intentions with that guy/girl
Will I need them in the future or not
Will we be seeing each other or not (class etc)

[Still-alive]

They are just a friend for the first two

you don't know if you will need them or not

you have a feeling you might see them in the future but not sure.

[ShadowMonarch]

If I deem them to be a good person... then I'll just warn them
Before hand.
Otherwise I'm just going to block them

[Slim57]

I've never blocked a person unless they were being weird and a stranger, I would never block anyone I was friendly with ever

[Pink2000]

Yes. I tell them I’m about to block them lmao

[Still-alive]

what are reasons you'd block a friend without warning?

[Pink2000]

If they really pissed me off. Which I had to do before. One of them turned out to be racist.

[Still-alive]

other than racism though is there anything else that can piss you off?

[Pink2000]

Being sexual

[boobliker]

why would you warn them?

[Still-alive]

because if i was already talking to them i would want to let them know 'hey that isn't cool' or 'can you please not do that.' i feel its more fair... a lot of the time its a misunderstanding or it wasn't intentional either.

if i wasn't talking to them i'd just block em outright though

[boobliker]

but that is befor they continue and i would just shut them out I have don it. if someone is talking shit to you why tell them just cut them off, they soon see what they have don

[Chiarac2003]

Yes…. “ ur blocked” then I’d click it.

[Vendela]

I voted c.

[Still-alive]

what are reasons you'd block a friend without warning?

[Vendela]

Saying something super racist, being rude to me or judging my lifestyle choices (such as my age gap relationship, which has happened) trying to be more than friends when I've already said no. There's probably more 😅

[Still-alive]

ok i get most of those... for the last one though what clues might give you the feeling they see you as more than friends?

[Vendela]

Continually flirting with me. I blocked smahala or whatever his name is for that exact reason

[Still-alive]

did you give him a warning?

[Vendela]

I told him I have a boyfriend several times and I'm not interested in flirting, but he disrespected that.

[Vendela]

He's freaking weird

[Still-alive]

ok yup thats totally fair then.

[douride2]

It all depends on what was said.

[Ilovecbt]

Because I respect people

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Maybe
