Sincerely it doesn't Seun
My view is important and ur view too is important, so because u don't like my view or because u want to have ur own way , I shouldn't criticize or voice out or share my own point of view?
Nairalanders will just be banning themselves anyhow,
Give blacks small power and watch how they misuse it,
A dislike botton would have been better
But you can air your view. Must your view be viewed by people who don't like you and your view? I thought your views should be appreciated by those who likes it not the other way around.

The thing sef is somehow useless, cos it's only u that blocked the person will not see his or her post and he too won't see urs, but every other nairalders will see the post both of u posted,
If I can't allow u to air ur view and someone else too doesn't allow me to air mine as well, we block ourselves and the forum becomes less interesting and boring
Trolling and unintelligent posts was never interesting.

Seun:
You are registered as a moderator. I am deliberately allowing mods to see and enjoy the button even though it will not work for them. How can you moderate if you can't see everyone's post?
Even a moderator cares for his mental health. He wanted to block a user. 😄😄 Seun had to step in.

The block system needs:

1. A blocklist.
2. It's not for you to decide when a user wishes to keep those they don't like blocked. Some wants them blocked forever to maintain their sanity. Judging from your disclaimer, if Nairalanders are solely responsible for what they post, Nairalanders should be responsible for what they consume. You can't force it on them. I know it's your forum but your admin status would be useless without users to administrate.
3. If the block feature is too heavy, you can do a "stop seeing this users post" for a timeline of "a week," "a month," "six months," or "forever." Or a simply "Ignore User till I change it."
Seun, please look into this. Change the 7 in the code to 365days. I have only intentionally used it on one moniker and I don't ever want to see IT again. Not even after a week.

Thank you my sweet Seun. 😃

Hello Uncle Seun, it's like the block button is not working. Please help to check. I have been trying to block but it keeps unticking and I keep seeing posts.

My thought is that when you block a user you will not even see their shadow anywhere on this forum again
Re: You Can Now Block People On Nairaland (for A Time) by MrPresident1: 12:28pm On May 25, 2025
Seun, I cannot use the block button. It is not blocking anyone. Kindly attend to it. I think it has suffered a glitch.

Whenever I get banned on Nairaland, I will bring the post made here to see how the whole system can be sensitized. There are so many unnecessary things people get banned for in the name of banning and blocking to clean up the system.

Ishilove, is your block button working, can you block people, are there people you have blocked?

Do they remain blocked when you tick them?

Hello Seun, have you been able to look at the block button? Have you been able to fix it?

There's a user who follows me who I have requested to unfollow me but he refuses..

Anytime I quote this user, whatever I write, I am banned. Why follow anyone whom you find uninteresting? He hates what I write and I also hate what he writes, why can't I block him? Why does he follow me when he hates what I write?

I do take this very personally and I feel very oppressed

Seun:
Dear Nairalanders,

We have just activated a feature that allows you to block people who harass you for a period of time (currently a week).

When you block someone, you will be automatically blocked back by that person, so you won't be able to see each others' posts.

When the fixed period is over, you will both be released automatically, giving you another chance to treat each other better.

The admin, super-moderators, and moderators cannot block people or be blocked.

To block someone, visit the person's profile and click on the [ Block ] button shown below:

Enjoy your new power. But remember that you're also blocking yourself. wink
Ever spent time on Nairaland or social media and felt like the same types of people show up in every argument? That’s because they do.
Dunning-Kruger Disciple: The super confident guy who talks like an expert but clearly doesn’t understand what he’s saying.
Then there’s the Belief Perseverance Poster: One who sticks to false info no matter how many facts you show them, and the Contrarian Disorder Commenter: The always-opposite dude who disagrees just to stand out. These kinds of people aren’t just annoying, they confuse others, spread lies, and make real conversations harder. The best thing you can do? Spot them early, don’t fall for the bait, and always speak clearly so others, the quiet ones watching, can see what makes sense.

Thank you for the update to the block button. Now I can block helinues for three weeks at a stretch!
