Ignored

[Getbackin]

Wanted to know if it’s the norm for someone to set their profile to ignore you when there’s been no interaction be it chat or otherwise whatsoever? Just curious as I haven’t come across this before on here.

You can set parameters for who can contact you via your profile settings I believe.

Yes If she’s not interested in men, age limits, distance…

I think this one kind of depends on what you mean by 'ignore'?!

 

When you view them, do you mean you cannot comment on photos/wall or filters prevent you from messaging? If so, it is simply because the person is after someone/thing specific and has added filters to ensure only what they're after can come through. 

On the other hand if you mean you have seen a person you like and want to click on their profile to maybe have a read or contact, and you've found they have outright blocked you?! "Sorry this member has added you to their ignore list."

 

Honestly, I have NO idea why people do this. I said 'hi to someone, told them they're pretty and welcome', as they are from same city as I. They read my message but didn't respond, just blocked me. No idea why..

 

So its not unusual, but it's also not common. I like to think maybe people block as they possibly think that you remind them of someone, it's too close to home and they worry this side of this will be exposed, they might actually know you or simply content on your profile isn't something they like or they got triggered and blocked to save any discomfort later on. Without asking them outright, we may never know.

 

But don't dwell on it. There are plenty of members on this site, plenty of new things to learn with people and if someone has blocked you from this, it's their loss so move on!

@JenniferTPI block for other reasons too..If I've seen someone in chat for example being what I consider creepy or offensive, rude or ignoring boundaries whether towards me or A/anyone else, I'll often block so I know I don't have to see what they're saying or interact with them..similarly if someone is going out of their way to offend or upset me, I'll block them so I don't have to deal with it..or, as in this instance having spoken directly to the OP in chat three times and being ignored, the 4th time it happened I blocked because I was finding that irritating..of course the post may not be referencing me, but if it is I assure you, I feel no loss.

Maybe the person recognised you and got nervous..

I am with @MzJax on the additional reasons for blocking, where some individuals are "creepy or offensive, rude or ignore boundaries." I personally I block people whose behaviour towards me has been highly questionable, bullying, trolling, have stepped across personal boundaries, do not take no for an answer or whose behaviour towards others has been extremely inappropriate. On more than one occssion I have had to block/ignore a person in chat or pm's because they think Dommes are there to be kink dispensers and when told no, proceed to be verbally abusive. I do not have to deal with that behaviour and in choosing to use the block/ignore button I am keeping me safe. On the whole why a person chooses to ignore another individual is down to that person, they do not have to validate the why, what they are more focused on is keeping themsleves safe.

I can assure you that at no time have I ignored anyone one this site and am never rude or derogatory and to say you have I’m assuming you have tried to chat to me 4 times then you are mistaken. But like yourself it is no loss to me also. It was the first time I encountered this scenario on here and thank you for the education of the pettiness that can be experienced on this site.

You can call me a liar, or petty, as much as you like, but it won't change the facts. I even had other people commenting on it, and I refuse to be gaslighted when I know what I saw and what I experienced. Your recollection is flawed, not mine, it makes no sense that I'd block you for no reason at all..but you go on believing whatever you like.

At no time were you called a liar I think you’ll find I said you were mistaken it appears to me that you have read something into something that there was no intention of which is fine by me I don’t have a problem with that whatsoever each to their own. If it was such a problem at the time it supposedly happened a DM would have rectified it right away. Again we both have our own outlook on this and an agreement will never be reached so I think the status quo that exists is the best outcome.
