| Jul 9, 2023 at 16:28 | comment | added | phils | I absolutely agree that StackExchange users should ideally be willing to give something back, but I'm entirely content with my level of contributions, so I feel no obligation to include "suffering users who are making my experience here less pleasant" as a part of my "something". A user also does not need to be breaking rules, or be insulting or harmful to the site as a whole, for me to want to block them. They just need to be making my life measurably worse in some way, and to have shown no signs of changing the behaviour which is responsible for that. | |

If there is someone on SO behaving in a manner that you truly feel is insulting or damaging to the site as a whole, why wouldn't you take action to inform or contact a moderator? It may be hurtful to a user, but not “damaging” to the site. There are lots of times where an argument or something makes someone uncomfortable but not everybody. It’s not worth getting mods involved, but that doesn’t mean users who are affected by it should have to see it. Ignoring users via a script like this could be construed as incredibly selfish That’s the point. This would let you choose.

| Jul 22, 2009 at 21:26 | comment | added | tim | @gnovice - you are right, but no one is doing anything about it and all attempts to resolve it are ignored/declined. So we have to do it individually. | |
| Jul 14, 2009 at 16:00 | comment | added | Sampson | @gnovice - This script is for those who have exhausted all other methods. | |
| Jul 14, 2009 at 15:55 | comment | added | RSolberg | @gnovice: I would go out on a limb and suggest that this script is a last resort for some users... The things you've talked about have been done. | |
