I think you are muted by kb. Otherwise, mk to the rescue! Side note, I hadn't noticed that mute / ignore / hush are now checkboxes with explanations next to them, useful improvement!
It was doesntgolf's suggestion. I just added it this morning.
I agree that there should be some explanation in the post if a user cannot comment due to muting. Also, if I mute a user, they should not be able to PM me.
If it's not, it's not intentional. I agree with your suggestions insom
mk, thenewgreen, and I debated muting heavily on Monday. My worry was muting due to harassment: I don't want someone that I don't want to talk to be to be able to talk to me. I have yet to mute anyone or be muted (as far as I know) so I'm probably not the best person to make decisions. Perhaps we should open up the floor to a wider discussion. I believe mk is planning a post on the subject. Let your voice be heard.
That's a damn good point. That said, were you muted or ignored?
excellent question…. I think it said "muted here". It's been a year or so, but I think I was unable to participate in a discussion that interested me.
insomniasexx raises a REALLY good point. If I was stalking her on here and making snarky remarks - why shouldn't she have the ability to completely block me, PMs and all. Perhaps - if you mute some one, they are also unable to follow you. That way, discussions you post wouldn't show up in their feed, making it less likely that they would interact with you.
now… back to stalking insom…. (creepy grin)
Not sure. Mute me and I'll find out right quick. If I can, you are about to get the most amazing PM of your life :P
No go. When I press submit it tells me I can't message you.
