That is the cold hard reality. I wish more people were more sensible. But nothing I can do there.

True though that may be, it is better than the alternative of either rampant anarchy or having the mods decide what is and is not okay.

Seconded onto that, there are also some people who lack even the most basic sense of logic, empathy and manners who constantly clog up the forums with their inane stupid ramblings and I’d honestly just rather not have to read that brain-rot when I just want to come in and check what users are posting.There’s no point having a debate with such people: they spend so much trying to tell you how they’re so right, they’re clearly not going open to a discourse about an opposing view, and frankly a dingy image booru full of perverts who use it to watch pony porn is not the proper time and place for such a discussion anyway.It’s not just that some people have nothing better to do then be your reply guy whenever you say anything, no matter how innocuous…it’s also that I have better things to do with my day then be the reply guy of certain annoying users, and honestly I’d rather just have an option to hide all of their posts so I don’t have to feel my braincells dying in rapid succession reading their drivel every time I check on the latest forum discussion.Especially since those users barely contribute to such discussions and even when they do it’s once again them trying to prove they’re smart and right about something, rather then adding anything substantive.

This is why I left Equestria Daily.
I suggest you-and all others who oppose the idea of a block button for users on this site-let me make that decision for myself.
