I do not use Facebook. IGNORE feature and abuse forms are about all we have to work with.

Why is ignore not enough? What would you like to do that the ignore feature does not allow?

The ignore feature is useless. Reporting for abuse doesn't do anything if you just want to block them. I don't care what people say to me in messages or chat I'm not going to be a tattletale and report abuse and have to get others to handle my problem for me I'll just block the people I want to except Dailystrength doesn't have a block feature. So DS if you are listening get rid of the immature ignore button and introduce a more mature block button.

Well, . your original question was "Is there anyway to block certain members on this website like you can do with Facebook?" and the answer is still 'no'.

As I said .. I do not use FACEBOOK .. so don't know what kind of blocking you desire. Obviously it is something beyond the DS IGNORE feature.

I agree .. IGNORE is sort of like telling the doctor your shoulder hurts whenever you blink .. and he tells you 'don't blink'.

Thing is .. that's all we have. Anything beyond that can be suggested in a Feedback Form. Keyword: suggested

I'm sorry if what I said came off rude. I was just trying to elaborate :)

No need to apologize. I was not criticizing .. simply making a point ... and THANK YOU for the friendship request and kind words.

I am privilaged to be your DS friend .. and though often am quite busy, feel free to PM me anytime I can be of help to you.

I'm not really familiar with FB either. But from what I can tell, FB is more like a collection of journals.....not an open forum for people to post things for other to comment on.

So if you really want to block people.....then only post to your journal, and delete the people who are at issue from your friend's list.

And there are many, many people on here who do just that.

I am still unclear on how exactly blocking is different from ignoring. As far as I know if you block someone you do not see any of their posts and I don't think they can contact you either - what more do you need, specifically?

Blocking so they cannot contact you in any way, add you, see your profile or anything. When they search your name or user name you do not show up on the search results. All contact is cut off etc...

I know nothing about the policies of FB either but when I click on your profile in the topic you posted her all I see is the same thing I see when I look up at your picture. it does include the date joined.

Because you are set to "Friends Only", the only option anyone has is a friends request and ignore you. Remove anyone form your list that you choose.

What is not blocked (and this could be considered good or bad) is that anyone can send you a message simply by putting you username in the required space. After the first message, would you have the ability to put that person on ignore??

Don't know because I haven't been faced with that problem but someone here can tell us.

I am still learning the ins and outs of DS and sometimes it is rather convoluted.

If you have your profile "friends only" and post to just your own journals, you can do that.
