Hmmm... What do you do when this happens?

I received a notification that someone had responded to one of my discussions. When I went to reply to the person there was nothing there. I checked twice to be sure myLot was not having a problem, but everything was working fine. I came to the conclusion that the person who responded to my discussion has blocked me. I can't ask them why and can't ask them to stop responding on my discussions. What can be done about this? @GoAskAlice @myLotBugs

It was the ghost of a 'file corpse'. This is the translation of the German term for people who register but never become active.

No, it told me who the person was. I checked and they are here and active. I am simply blocked from responding to them.

@MALUSE Sometimes you are too funny! My pillow won't be damp from this, I promise! (giggling at you!) I do think it is silly that Bugs hasn't fixed this yet, though.

Some months ago it happened with me. I was shocked the absence of some one's replies. I replied to the person so I was sure about the 'reply'. Later I came to know that the person's account got blocked here. If some one block you the response already posted won't get deleted (that is what I felt).

That is true, Sreekala, but it is also true that the person can block me and then make responses on any of my discussions and I won't be able to read what they've said, although everyone else on myLot can read what they said. (I can read what the person said on their profile, if I go there and follow everything they've said on myLot through their "Activities" tab.) When that happens, it appears to everyone else on the site that I am ignoring the person, for some reason. So, I am the one who appears to be rude, instead of the person who has blocked me.

@DaddyEvil You could send me a private message. if you are sure there's nothing bad between the two of you, it could be an accidental blocking. A lot like that has happened in here already. And that person wouldn't know until somebody informs him or her.

@pgntwo Oh, I see... that does make sense, in a weird sort of way... I decided to give up on taking the trip to the Pegasus Galaxy... vanny refuses to understand about artificial gravity or beaming technology just because she believes it will never happen (actually, she claims it will not happen for two or three thousand years.) even though I have shown her artificial gravity has been proven to exist and humans use it now. I also sent her a link that shows scientists use a type of beaming technology now to send things around the world via the internet. She still claims it doesn't and won't exist. *sigh!* She just wants to fight about it. I am tired of fighting about it.

It is a bug that has always existed here : somebody blocking you can respond to your discussions, but you are unable to see the response and comment back.

@DaddyEvil Because you are evil. But they should be logical with themselves and do not respond to your discussions. Maybe this person blocked you by error and does not realize it ? Something like "Responding to this discussion will unblock this member" would be nice.

The blocking system here is indeed messy? Perhaps admin can change it but regardless blocking now appears to be a mutual thing. It could be done away with completely, left the way it is or put the kids in the block somewhere else? I don't really have a good answer. Sorry.

I've been away from the social club for a while. Months. I was dropping by from time to time to read posts without posting until yesterday when I read an interesting post that inspired me to write a long comment. Immediately, I was attacked for what I wrote. We must be careful of what we write here, yes? Not much has changed in this world and these things continue to happen.. so what else is new?

@DaddyEvil - Oh, can a person block someone else? I have had a few people who have commented on my posts when they have not written any posts of their own. I also have had trouble commenting on someone's posts when they only have a couple and I have already responded to them. However, I have never been blocked ... unless I just didn't realize that was happening.

Okay, I know this is yours, but someone plagiarized your post - word for word. I read this yesterday. I don't remember who I read it from, but knowing that is disturbing to me. Or did you have this in a comment elsewhere? My brain right now is very confused I hope you were able to get this sorted out about who blocked you or why. I can't imagine it happening to such a nice guy.

I don't think anyone plagiarized my post, Dearheart. I told you about this problem on a post you wrote, then decided to write a post complaining that this is still a problem here. I was able to go to the person's profile and read the response they left on my discussion there. There are now four people who have blocked me. IDK why some blocked me, but I know one person blocked me because I was talking to someone else on their post. *shrug!* Apparently, I am not the only person he has done that to, either.

People who use cell phones to interact here face many problems, since the cell phone screen is not large enough for comfortable myLotting, but that is their own problem, not ours. This problem is ours because it allows someone who blocked us to continue to talk on our discussions but we can't stop them. I can't delete the response that person made and I cannot refute any false allegations they may make about me in the future, either.

I suppose you could look at this in that light, Darcy... Or you can see the possibility that the person could attack me on my own post without fear I may retaliate in any way, including deleting any defamatory comments they may make about me. I do not see this problem the same way you do. There are people on this site I refuse to speak to/with because they are not nice. I haven't blocked them because they may realize that rude comments on my discussions are not tolerated, so they learn to speak nicely to people on my discussions or know their comments will be deleted. A response from anyone on our discussions is only worth roughly 1/10 of a penny, not several pennies. (Just giving you information.)
