My first BLOCK

Accidentally I did block And it gave me a shock Coz,I'm here to interact Remaining in contact With the Mylot flock But a member very kindly Pointed out my mistake to me Then the unblock button, I did tap Which righted the mishap Making way for comments to flow freely The person I blocked was@TRBRocks420 and @infatuatedbby helped me correct my mistake

It happens all the time, people who use their phones, tap on the block and they do not even realize. We need a warning for the block button. I hope that @GoAskAlice and @myLotBugs may consider adding a "warning message" when you TAP on the "block" (as we have for the "Report" button). Better yet, remove the Block button.

@responsiveme I know that it is impossible to know if we tap on that button by mistake. It happens several times every day. Let's get rid of that button.

@LadyDuck yes because I have no intention of blocking anybody.If I do not have a rapport with the person or a particular discussion I would just avoid them

Nice rhyme. I've had to get someone to help me become unblocked and I've also contacted someone on behalf of a blocked person. I think it has happened to a lot of us.

@responsiveme I think we all think we're the only one. I know I was worried that I'd offended them in some way.

Aw...yes...accidents happen...wonder why they do not shift block elsewhere and highlight it with red color or something. Because mouse can be careless.

@responsiveme I know how often I make those because I have a routine of at least 3 chess games each day. I know often wrong coin moves.

You wrote this in poetic form. Nice! Are you a poet? I am... I am not sure I've ever blocked someone on here... even by accident. But then again, if I did it by accident I probably wouldn't know it.

@responsiveme I love to read too but not sure if I can call myself a booworm. Perhaps only the people we blocked can let us know we blocked them. Or am I wrong? If we blocked them maybe they won't be able to talk to us at all because they've been blocked...

@lovebuglena I am an out an out bookworm.infact I have restricted my mylotting time because when I was addicted to it , it cut down on my reading.
• India

Certainly not a poet. Just a rhyme or two here for the fun of it. So glad to know you are a poet. What I am is a bookworm. From the responses ,I can now understand that unless someone points it out there is no way of knowing whether we have blocked anyone

no, ask the post-owner said it was she (post-owner) who did not know she accidentally blocked someone because she was using a phone where buttons are much smaller. and this poem is more like an apology and a thank you to the mylotters who helped, and also a way to inform other mylotters how accidental blocks happen here and how it can be resolved. in fact, if you read the responses and comments, you'll see other members experienced the same, or have been asked to help in unblocking.

I think my lotting with the cell phone makes us more prone to touch the block accidentally.Also there is an autocorrect button which changes the words. These are two minus points for me
