Search Results: girls that are critical

I have just created a myTake about the block button, i recommend you read it prior to giving your opinion if you want the full picture of what is going on. https://www.girlsaskguys.com/girlsaskguys/a51479-why-block-button-harms-the-gag-community .

It shows the risk of restricting differing opinions from speaking because the current system makes blocked users unable to participate in the discussion or give warnings when someone's information could have bad consequences. For example a user who politically disagree's with me blocked me on a political question unknowingly did a suggestion on an IT question that could put people at risk which i could not point out.

So, Should girls ask guys hide the blocked comments for the user so that other users can still see them?
Or should we continue blocking users from commenting entirely.

Arguments for hiding:
- Allows other users to both sides of the argument (As users who block a lot of people often block people who provide counter arguments)
- Users who got blocked are prevented from sharing critical information that can prevent harm. (Debunking things like dangerous health practices or when someone recommends useless protection or something with hidden risks).
- Prevents radicalization when idea's are left unopposed.
- Prevents the site from shifting to much into one side of the debate ensuring a healthy discussion.
- Actual abuse typically is removed by the moderators so this gets naturally filtered by the team.
- It makes it harder to see who blocked you making people less inclined to create alternative accounts.

Arguments for blocking:
- Users might see the comments if they are not logged in.
- Users who block could be confused when the blocked user interacts with someone else on there comments as they can not see the entire conversation.
- Prevents people mass discrediting others by purposely targeting all there opinions with false information (Should still be a bannable offense if its false information).
