OH, MY GOD! How we do go off on tangents! Can you really imagine yourself going back over years of old reviews to alter them? What a waste of time! I've blocked four people in the three years of my membership, one of whom appeared to be a seriously sick individual who talked about kidnappings and torture. Sol fixed that situation. If he says he will fix something, he will.
Admittedly, it's annoying to see that someone you blocked can still rewrite their old reviews (which is what I understood you to mean). If that happens, can't you delete those reviews?
But do you really care? Who wants to waste their time on a Hatfield-McCoy feud? (Apologies, Dill--I'm not well-versed enough in history to refer to an English rivalry.)

I so agree with you. This might be a good time to remind people of my group, 'Fight Club.' Anyone can join, you can rant about a person (without mentioning their name unless they agree to 'fight' with you.) in the forums, say what you want short of threatening physical violence, (which might get you in legal trouble). You can also invite the person you're upset with to join through this forum if they have you blocked, and you two can be as mean and sarcastic as you want. Others can join in if they want.

The only other thing I ask is do not whine to me about what other people are saying to and about you. I created the group so people could vent without going on a tangent in a thread unrelated to said tangent.

Totally understandable. You have aged quite well, however.

I was going to respond here, "I'm going to block you so I can whine about other people in the Fight Club on your profile page at my leisure," but I see you have already blocked me! I am a sitting duck! Commence heckling! lol

Re: (Site Support) Blocking members, how does it work?

I think I know why. If you go to your profile settings you'll find a box that says: Make my profile page visible to: and a drop down menu with two options: Everyone or Only to logged in users that are not blocked.

Yes, I believe  this is the issue. We'll have to think about how to resolve this and how much time it will take.
