sorry for lifting this up again since it was written a while back... but i just want to figure it out ... why there is a need to block ppl ? is it hard to talk things over with that person and settle all up? how do u deal with ppl in reality ? there u wont be able to block them .
To me, a PM is similar to a telephone call. And if I get prank calls or obscene phone calls, I have those numbers blocked from my phone. The same with PMs in chat rooms. Because this is a Christian chat site, I have not had overtly obscene PMs but there definitely have been comments that were way too forward, inappropriate, and/or disrespectful. I have occasionally had to block men who PM'd me to flirt (despite my "married" status), and I had reported the repeat offenders. Given the anonymous nature of the chat room experience, some people do not show proper respect toward others because they can get away with it since no one may know who they really are.
Fortunately, I haven't had to block anyone lately, and I have put up a notice on my PMs letting people know that I don't accept PMs from men unless I know them well.
