Profile blocking, what does it and what does it not entail?

June 17 2015

OK I'm not exactly a newbie but I feel this is the right place to ask this.I thought blocking a person meant that they could not access your profile,or send you a message. I also thought that was the limit of the blocking.I have reason to believe that blocking actually goes a bit further than that in as much as you now will not see anything they post on the forum, or see anything they have posted in your news feeds. Is this so or not? One bike forum I was on used to replace their posts with a notification that they had posted but that you were spared from viewing it, (click here to view it), however if someone quoted your blocked turkey's post you were not spared from viewing it.So hopefully a moderator or someone who is well informed can shed some further light on this matter

    If someone finds offence to what you write it is a simple matter of not reading more of those posts in future. Personally i would love such a system to be available to all. It is so hard to talk behind someones back when they can easily read what you have to say. There is just no room here to talk about someone and not too them as well.. getting ones self blocked by an individual would then have a very positive effect, allowing the blocked user to then say what they really think with out fear of offending the easily offended. There are many that are quick to block. I could imagine these forums for them, if such a system as you suggest OP existed, would be a very quite place. Though some really require the constant sycophantic mumbling of others to dull their own self loathing.

    if i dont like someone or there attitude does not mean i dont want to read what they have to say , i can still agree with any person i think has a good idea or makes a good comment . To block somebody out totally from anything be like cyber murder !! Cyber Serial Killer . If you can respect your enemy and offer a shoulder to lean or a ear to listen then that shows courage strength and compassion. And that is what society has lost and that is one thing i will never lose . Regards BigOcean - Posted from rhpmobile

    Hey Jack. I have had one person block me. No reason I know of as I never even saw their profile or wrote to them, I have a feeling I may know them which is cool. But I can see their posts on the forum and could even like their post . As far as any other info about blocking I have no idea. I remember from another thread that they said you can see them in chat also unless RHP has changed that since then

    Blocking only stops them viewing your profile page, and you cant message them. Still see all other activity. Its not like a facebook block.

    TisonlyI It doesn't sound that weird. Blocking in principle is a one-way thing. If she blocked YOU, she can't see your profile. If you haven't blocked her then there should be no reason for her profile being excluded from your view. You can look but can't touch.

    Different forum platforms (www sites) have differing restrictions that they place on "blockees" I seem to recal a post from the deep dark past talking about how at one point pie did indeed hide the forum posts of someone who you had blocked. The consensus that I recal was that it was pandemonium... The blockee was posting and the blocker was posting and the blockee was unaware of what the blocker was saying... Etc. Maybe peachy or Ruby might be able to shed some light on that part of history ? I've got a woman who's blocked me who stops by regularly to check up on me... Why ? Fucked if I know :) Silly thing is, if she'd unblock me I'd open my pg for her so she could enjoy the rest of my pics... At least to her credit she doesn't use stealth mode... If you want to be a voyeour then at least own it, so kudos kiddo 👍🏼 Hp xo Because you're worth it...

    ...... Im often blocked ... but can people come up in searches (not that I often search ;) .... and in forums .I tend to see who's on by flipping page to page ... and having a look/read at their evolving profiles .... and could be seen as over visiting .... soz Indigo OP it is interesting when your blocked by people that you have not ever spoken to, and I had wondered whether there was the ability to blocked ie outside designed criteria .... sex age etc A further question ..... do the ladies have functionality not available to the male cohort ? (heard a rumour ?) ..... the ladies only room ? ....Any clues Annie? ....

    Forum - I believe the blocking stops the any further contact from the person to myself. I have blocked a guy from contacting me and could still see his posts on the forum. Fair enough. I dont have to read it. Lol Search function - I tested this to check results. the person whom I blocked, his profile shows up in my search. I can still view his full profile. for somebody who has blocked me, i can see his profile thumbnail show on the search results but I can not view the details. which is good to know and shows limitations. it works vice versa. Chat room - I don't see his chat messages on the chat room. He is on chat at times but I dont get to see his messages. Thank goodness. He also can not send me messages on chat.

    they can't access your profile or message you, you can't see their posts in the chatroom and they can't whisper or direct message you, I have no idea if someone who is blocked can see the blocker's posts though, perhaps we can experiment with that one evening? You can still see their forum posts though, more's the pity. - Posted from rhpmobile

    the time in history you have mentioned was when RHP first linked to Facebook. You are right, it was chaos Anything you posted could go through to your Facebook..with photos.And that is the slightly funny part, it wasnt your own photos most of the time.....anyones photos could end up on your own Facebook. RHP did fix that problem over time. I cant remember anything to do with blocking in the past though.

    it was a pretty crazy couple of days! Many of us on the forum at the time carried out all sorts of trials and tests, some had very funny results.Thats how we discovered pics that werent our own pics were showing up on our facebook. Ofcourse the whole privacy thing was blown to smitherines which pissed off many of us. Quite a few left rhp for a while till it was fixed.

    Meaning ' If I block you ' I have power and that makes me better than you. Rubbish.. I never block anyone unless they are out and out ratbags.. and I definitely don't block someone just because of a difference in opinion.. that 'in my opinion is school kids stuff...

    Sheesh, so you're not allowed to decide who you want contacting you and perving on your profile because that shows arrogance? Its shows that you're exercising choice. I have blocked guys who are rude and disrespectful and who have not "heard" me when I said "no thank you". I don't think blocking people means you are arrogant. It troubles me that exercising your right to control over your profile is perceived as arrogance

I do not remember ever hearing of that being a feature in the forums but I can think of few closeish matches, lolol... Or did Ruby answer your question because I'm sure where that relates to blocking. .The thing at the time Ruby is talking about which was in late 2011, RHP introduced a 'like' button to the forums. It was only for topics, not individual posts. The thing was, when you clicked the 'like' button, it would share that thread to your facebook wall with the thumbnail of any one of the people on that thread. It was easily deleted, if you realised! LOL. But the thing was, anyone could be sharing your thumbnail... anywhere and you no longer had any control over it. I think it was Ruby that worked out that even if you put your pic in your private gallery, it was still attached to any thread you'd posted on as a thumbnail. That was one of the few times I lost my posting rights hehehe. .Your post reminds me very much like it could be to do with the chat rooms. The block feature in there is weird. .There are a couple of threads about how people could still hot list people they were blocked by in the past so the blockee could still follow their movements like when they signed in. That's been changed now..Less likely, there was a time all posts by a forumite would be deleted when they deleted their account... but all those posts were resurrected.

    oh but I love blocking people... it gives me a little tingle in the vajayjay. I currently have 5 pages of people I have blocked over the last 5 years.... fucked if I know why. But men that keep sending you the same message even when you have said no to them numerous times is really annoying. So you block them. that way they don't waste another message and I don't waste time reading the same old friggen copy/paste message that they send out to everyone and their dog every second week. Oh... and I free admit I am petty like that.

    Blocking a user.Does not prevent them seeingall current public photos.all current up to date friends list.all current validations.dates they have set up.any forum postings. Does prevent them from messaging or flirting.reading the current profile stats. Blocking a user does not prevent them from creating or using another account to access your account. Some of the information about you is available without the need of authentication (don't need to log in) With a search This includes the first 4 images in your public gal, if you are online or not and your age, gender, town and state. This info can not be blocked. Without a search (you will have to manually look through the site map found at the bottom of each RHP page)Your profile image, age, gender, who you are looking for (man, Woman, MM, FF etc), state, town, and the About you section of your profile.

Actually, RHP is a website. A membership based website AND a website that allows it members some control over their experience. Don't be mistaking it with being in public because it is not the same thing. Public space it is. Most of the information for members is available to the general public without the need for a membership, including all the forum content, all the profiles, up to 4 of the users public unrated images, who you are looking for (woman,man,couple,MM,FF,TS/TV,Group.. etc) age, state, town, when you are online, and the about you section of your profile. In Australia this is considered as public space, because anyone of any age can access it without the need of authentication. Also only the Login systems uses secure encrypted protocols. If you are navigating on open networks, like airports, McDonalds and the like you are transmitting the images you see on a open un-encrypted channel. There are dozens of free applications that allow anyone with a phone, computer, tablet, or black box to capture and see everything you do. Its as easy to do as a click of a button. Do not think it is rare there are many people that actively capture all traffic on public networks, for all sorts of reasons. They do not target individuals, they target all traffic. There are no laws to stop this. Why RHP does not switch to a secure protocol for its traffic I do not know. Using HTTPS rather than HTTP will make it impossible for people to see what you do, but RHP only uses in during logon to hide your password. RHP is as public a space as the street or local park.

    Gypsy, you can think it private if that makes you feel better but as indicated in the post above its a naive view. If you really want privacy, put your pics and details in a scrapbook under your bed... And lock your bedroom door. Hp xo Because you're worth it...

    I appreciate knowing this. I still don't think its the same as walking down the street or being out in a public place. And given there is a facility to block people you don't want looking at you I will use it regardless of it resulting in me being perceived as "arrogant". Arrogantly Wild

    I don't have a vajayjay so I don't get to experience the persistent ratbag element you females have to put up with but I could imagine.. I've never stalked anyone here or anywhere for that matter so I don't expect anyone would block me for any other reason unless a difference in opinion. I never feel the need to block anyone unless they are out and out pricks . I could count on one hand the ppl I blocked over the last 4 years... i think most are pretty sensible and just roll with the flow...
