Drunk with power! by Thaily
Sooner or later, someone is going to complain.
And I feel kind of bad for doing it, but at the same time, not bad enough to stop.
Blocking people here on Weasyl also means you can't see their uploads on the new uploads page, so that means I've been able to cut out the "worst offenders" who upload things I hate; badly rendered 3D stuff, Rule 34, female objectification/bimbo fetish, people who upload edits of free line art all the time, camwhores etc.
I feel a little guilty; just because we like different things, doesn't mean they're necessarily bad people I couldn't get along with. But it saves me so much aggravation just not having to see it in the new uploads all the time like you have to on FA. Weasyl definitely has a leg up over FA in that regard; contrary to what they seem to think, we're not here for the UI.
I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it when it does eventually happen, when someone contacts me elsenet and asks me why I blocked them on Weasyl. How do you tell someone "Your uploads are bad for my blood pressure."

Do people actually get a notification for becoming ignored?

No they don't. There's no indication till they try to talk to you. Or they will removes you from their watch list if they watch you.

I'm in love with the tag blocking feature. I'd love it if they split block and ignore into separate functions.

Be honest? I mean, if anyone can't understand/accept "you seem nice and I'm not judting you for what you like at all, just, you know, YKINMK" as an answer, and they're still all upset an screechy over it, then they were probably the sort of personality type you'd have been better off blocking anyway.

It's understandable. I'm guessing they don't tag their works in any decent way such that you can just block those keywords vs. blocking the user entirely?
