don't be sorry.
But I'm not the only one who doesn't want a full site block. I can see what others are saying and they can see what I'm saying. I could say more but I'm not going to.
I will email you with my thoughts, if I want to tell you more.
If I have people, blocked, it'd be nice if they couldn't see my profile or forum posts, whatever. Access should be denied. Blurred, blocked out.
Some elements of your activity are inherently public. For example everyone (including non members) can view all of your forums posts. There's no point enforcing a block to a member for these as they could simply logoff to read them.
If you can think of any areas that we could extend the block feature that doesn’t involve publically visible content then please let me know.
Hope this helps, gav
Um, suggestion. Couldn't you just set it up that only friends can see what you post. Much like for profiles can have only friends veiw important information, and picture albums you have set it to friends only. So not only can people not be able to see it when you log off but it is totally private that way.

I know this has probably been brought up before, but a recent occurrence has made me think about it again.. Comments and Ratings of our work product..
Gav..
is there any way to make it mandatory to leave a comment for all 3-2-1 ratings? We all know 3-2-1 scores without comments are revenge ratings and this would be a way to stop a lot of that nonsense. Also, is it possible in addition to that or even as an alternative if necessary, to allow the author to request that a revenge rating be removed? By example, if an author's work has twelve 5 ratings and a solitary 3-2-1, they could have the lesser score removed. This way it would maintain the purity of the process as well as let the sniper know it won't do any good to try and dilute an author's true score because it will be removed anyway. Obviously, if there is more than one 3-2-1 rating, all bets are off.

I been wondering that too. I have to report so many of my stories that has these low scores (thanks for the reminder) I mean I have it set that comments are mandatory. And I know people hate commenting when they feel forced to but it drives me insane when I get a 3 or below and they don't say anything as to why I recieved such a low rating.
I don't know if this is a glitch or technical error in my phone, but this whole evening I haven't been receiving any instant messages from anyone, and when I went to check if my messages we're even being sent turns out They have been replying to mine but also made comment that they weren't receiving my messages either.

I have another issue with the site today, Gav. I have noticed there is a large blank space at the start of each story. If one has put an illustration on the story the blank space follows that picture. It precedes the story title and text. It doesn't appear to affect the display of works on the main page. One simply see the blankness if one clicks on the story to read it.
Update: I checked the other site and the same phenomena is occurring there. Perhaps it serves a function. Doesn't seem to be a major problem. Just seems to be an anomaly that you should be aware of.
Second update: I see Gav has addressed this little problem on the other site. So he is aware of it. Thanks, Gav.

Can we get the option of hiding all of our stories with one click? Like the other site? Thanks!

This happened (and I think still happening) to me too. Thought it was just me and my crappy net. Hope this can be fixed soon.

Ok this should be working again now. You might need to logoff or at least refresh you page.

Hi Gav. I just noticed our newest member here, Tarasmith, is a floor polishing service in Melbourne. I could swear I've seen the same advertisement on another recent member's profile. Should we report these people to you, to the admins here, or just ignore them?

Thanks for pointing that out, Maggie. I'm sure I've seen it in the past but never thought about what it was for.

So we should report all businesses?
Yes, please do. Virtually all "business" profiles are spam. People who want to read and write stories and poems join as individuals, not businesses.
