I noticed I have a lot of people blocked. I went into settings, came across this and, I can’t see anything below as it states. Any direction appreciated.

I think its a bug. I've seen stuff blocked that I never blocked , went into the settings and it didn't show anybody was blocked. Then the next day it was back to normal and nobody was blocked.  Sometimes all I do is delete my temp files and log back in and its fixed. But I don't know if that did anything or just happened to be fixed after logging back in.  

 

So If You have not blocked anybody, there's nothing You need to do to unblock anybody.  

 

Would be nice to know if there is a way to stop it . But for me it comes and goes and its random. Sometimes my own posts show that I blocked them. But its always  goes back to unblocked .

It’s weird and, annoying. There should be a specific setting to block or, unblock a person.

Agreed.   I’ve got a few folks blocked but it is very inconsistent in how it works.  Sometimes I see their posts, other times not. Can’t find a rhyme/reason to it. 🤷🏼‍♂️.   I wish it worked correctly all the time but if not just get rid of it altogether.

There is a setting to block and unblock people. But there seems to be a bug that's doing it randomly for some people.  I've had my own stuff blocked from me. And that's not possible to do with the settings they offer.

 

If You intentionally want to block somebody . On a phone You  can tap their image and it brings up a screen similar to the screenshot I'll attach.  Or on a computer hover over the image and this pops up.  If You have the person blocked the BLOCK tab will say UNBLOCK and you can unblock them by clicking on it.

If the user wasn't blocked by You , and it was what seems to be a bug with the site, it will not work to unblock them. It has fixed itself for me the few times I've seen it happen. Normally by the next day or in a few hours.

I've noticed this recently, and was going to post about it.

I've Never blocked anyone.

But, this has been happening for the last few weeks now.

Strange.

Yep, it comes and goes randomly. 

I've never seen myself blocked, but have had friends that I've known for years blocked... temporarily.

I didn't know there was even an option to do that. Knowing that now, I don't think I'd use it anyway. I amuses me to much seeing posts from people that I think so little of, that will still try to engage me knowing I won't respond.

I always assumed the posts and topics that come up as blocked were due to ratio of down votes?

the 'blocked by you' was just a result of how the code was written.  not necessarily meaning you blocked them.

I’m still dealing with it regardless of what I try in settings. 
Left the time stamp to show it’s a current issue

Now I see what you guys are talking about. So their "post" is not "blocked" only the content of what they attach?

Yup, I get that too. But as soon as you click the button to expose it, all the attached content on the page shows.

It’s not just that. It’s also showing in settings I’ve blocked people leaving no option to see who or, how to unblock the person.

Apparently it's not doing a very good job. You should be blocking me with all the shit I post. 😁

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification on that. 
Regarding the people that keep popping up as blocked, is that something in my settings or, is that something that’s getting worked out on Vitals end? 

Thanks once again.

I some how blocked myself a couple of days. It was probably for my own good 😀

One feature that i have finally put to use this morning is the  "Stop notifications" button. No more getting notified that the same 4 people are continuing to just absolutely flog, troll and rage bait a topic to death. 😑

Doesn't work.  I've currently got one person blocked, but I still see his posts.
