Author	Topic: Is there a way to block a user?
LandDestroyer Member	posted October 27, 2015 01:00 PM Once or twice a week I get a post and a message from user Turock ... and some users like maitredejeu just like to offer buy list or below and those arent the deals I'm interested in. " I have: --x random cards from my want list-- for bulk rares, trade up, or trade down with a premium." I've messaged him saying I am not interested in these types of trade and to please stop messaging me about them. He hasn't ever responded and he hasn't stopped. Help?

Eatatjoes Member	posted October 27, 2015 03:22 PM Yeah, he's getting kind of annoying
revenger Member	posted October 27, 2015 04:40 PM Pm is the only form blocking you can do. You should look into your preferences and find blocked list. I think also you can click on his message and click block user. __________________ 30th in refs on Motl! #1 Ref's for Arizona! I offer 3rd party trading services. Email if interested.

Shadow88 Member	posted October 27, 2015 04:44 PM You can block the PMs, and just look at the posts as a bump I guess? [Edited 1 times, lastly by Shadow88 on October 27, 2015]
LandDestroyer Member	posted October 27, 2015 05:24 PM thanks everyone. Jaime also dropped that knowledge on me. over 10 years on this site and never realized i could do that haha. and i work in IT
aethertech Member	posted October 27, 2015 09:01 PM Ditto, even though I blocked his PM's and told him not to post on my thread, he still did a few more times.
paragondave Member	posted October 28, 2015 01:48 AM yeah, just click the 'ignore' button on your message from him. I just now got another IM from him wishing I'd trade with him. Not gonna happen. Once you get on the list, it's very hard to get off of it.
Turock Member	posted October 28, 2015 09:08 AM I'm sorry you feel this way; I'll try to avoid your thread(s). Please keep in mind that this is a trading site. Periodically, I go through every thread on here and identify anywhere a possible trade might be able to happen. At worst, it's a free bump and a few seconds of reading time, but at least the opportunity of a trade was presented. That's all positive, IMO. Please don't be offended by trade offers; everyone makes offers that don't interest the other party. We're here to move cards. [Edited 1 times, lastly by Turock on October 28, 2015]

But I'd indicated to you before I'm not interested in those sorts of trades and since then you've messaged me a few more times and it just happened to get on my nerves that it was the same type of message that I've told you I don't want each time. If you made some offer like 'here is a specific card I have you want and a specific card you want that I have let's trade' that'd be different. But each message has been the same, you list some low priority wants i have asking to either get a ton of bulk rares or asking me to trade down for the low priority crud or trade up at a premium. none of those are things i'm currently interested in and i've let you know and it sounds like I'm not the only one :-p [Edited 1 times, lastly by LandDestroyer on October 28, 2015]
Eatatjoes Member	posted October 28, 2015 11:20 AM I don't like the asking for a premium on mediocre cards everyone has, and he also necros dead trade lists. And he's not posting real offers, just " have these, want bulk rares"

Eventually, the second time around, it apparently worked.

Who knows, maybe he'll figure it out. :/

Well you know me I wasn't trying to start anything mean...just trying to avoid getting messages over and over on the type of trade deals I'm not interested in doing.

I was being a bit of a dick about it and don't care. People like him are just awful to deal with. I remember he used to not be like this. I traded with him once when he first joined and had a normal trade behavior. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I haven't traded with him since.
paragondave Member	posted November 03, 2015 04:29 AM apparently, he doesn't take hints very well. Check his h/w thread. Lots of disgusted members telling him where to put his offers. I think we have the current speed demon here.
vancimus Member	posted November 03, 2015 07:12 AM Same issue here. Offers via PM and posts on list that are for bulk or his cards for 1 card of higher value. I have asked via PM and post to stop making such offers and it has been going on repeatedly for a while. If you look at my h/w list, he just keeps posting. I would like for it to stop.
chaos021 Member	posted November 05, 2015 04:15 PM I just keep insulting him. Just let loose people. He's no better than a telemarketer. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games. We can't read minds.

I hold no responsibility for "lost mail" in either direction. yeah, actually, you do. Narcissists attract pretty much the same level of disgust from most non-narcissists, pretty much everywhere. MOTL is no exception.
AGO Member	posted November 10, 2015 07:55 AM Is this really a big deal? Wow no wonder this site died such a hard death. I have seen this time and time again. Users of this site just **ting on people for little things. Just ignore the dude and move on. Instead we make an entire thread so everybody can take a big **.

It would be much easier to ignore him if he stopped posting and pming repeatedly. [Edited 1 times, lastly by paragondave on November 10, 2015]

Aren't you being a little too dramatic about it as well? Because we all know this doesn't happen elsewhere on the interwebs. __________________ "Message to women worldwide:** Girls....we're stupid.

God forbid you have to waste two seconds of your life deleting a pm someone sent you without reading it....or god forbid you have to ignore a free up on your h/w list. If they spent half as much time putting forth an effort to make a new site like they talk....maybe theyd accomplish their goal. Then they could add a block user to the settings.
