Why is "blocking" non-existant?

Just a quick question. You know how in other websites like Facebook or Deviantart, when you really don't like someone, you can cease contact with them permanently? Why does such a thing apparently not exist on this website? (Don't get me wrong, I have no reason to block anyone here and I wouldn't intend to in the first place. I just want to know).

That's actually a very good question. The only reasoning I can think of is that much larger websites are nearly impossible to moderate and there needs to be a much larger, more complex system put in place to attempt (and mostly fail) to keep things civil. Since the Vizzed community is more like an over grown, for a lack of a better term, cult following, the only reason we would need a system like that in place is if we, the moderator team, weren't doing our jobs. It's better to let us know if there's a problem instead of ignoring it, I think. That's what we're here for.

Considering the acmlm board (what Vizzed's design is based off of) didn't implement any block into it, it's no wonder why Vizzed doesn't have blocking itself. Moreover, a modification of the system could be quite tedious and overall I'd say it's a useless feature since if you wanted to block all communication with someone for a good reason, that reason is probably because they did something ban worthy and you could just report them and get the mods to force him to leave you alone, hypothetically.

Overall I don't think it's a very useful feature considering the facts, and implementation could be a hassle. That's probably why.

Well there is a ban for that really which the mods stand in for. I have wondered of the question to do with that. I guess there are other reasons as of why vizzed doesn't have one because of how things run here. So its not really needed although it would be a nice feature to have. Not every site will have a block button like facebook or deviantart has. To each their own I would say which makes a difference of what happens in websites.

Ultrajeff : Honestly, blocking here would be a terrible idea and would cause a ton of drama and disorginization based on the way that the forums are set up. In places like FB, twitter, and others, blocking would allow you to stop seeing what they are saying. However, imagine trying to go through threads that they post in, even if you cant see what they say, you would still get an idea thanks to replies, and if you reply to a thread that's already been answered or a big part of the thread involves that persons replies, then honestly the person who's blocking wouldn't look too great. Not to mention how hard it would be for certain posts to not show up for certain users, and it would be even harder to keep track.

For one, like already mentioned, there is no block feature in acmlm. Additionally it would cause way too much drama and wouldn't be worth the time that would have to go into it. 

If you have problems with a certain user, contact the moderators. If said user is doing something ban worthy, they'll get a ban. If they're harassing you, we'll ask them to leave you alone. 

Besides in a live chatroom I never understood the need for a blocking system. Some staff on other sites are just too lazy to actually look into the problem.
