So a forum game stalled because Luvia replied to it.

(For those who don't know: Luvia is notorious for blocking ANYONE and almost EVERYONE, so when she posts.... games stop until SOMEONE is able to see her dragons.)

How petty would it be if I replied to the person before Luvia as if she didn't respond?

I think it could be a subtle hint that they should cool down on the blocking. Everyone is free to curate their experience and block but when you also what to interact with so many forum games it becomes an issue.

Maybe if the thread is still stalled now, a few hours of nothing is good enough I think.

Be like "well, me and 90% of the site are blocked by the person above me"

[(Anonymous)]

not petty at all. if the game isn't continuing because everyone's blocked, interacting in any way could be considered harassment, so you may as well respond to the next available person.

[(Anonymous)]

What's the game? I'm not blocked so I can carry on LMAO

[(Anonymous)]

SA, I think I found it and carried on. My duty is done (now to be blocked... probably lol)

[(Anonymous)]

is this how i find out a random ass user blocks me

[(Anonymous)]

was wondering if i was blocked bc all i do is Fuck Shit All on the site and im blocked too

where did you FIND me i dont even POST

[(Anonymous)]

Do we know why Luvia blocks everyone? I’m obviously not going to ask/call-out, because I’m also blocked and there are so many reasons to not circumvent that. But I am curious. The only reason I can think of is that I own a couple of dragons with commonly-censored genes (Jaguar & Leopard)

They seem to be like... anti-fodder, so if you've ever sold fodder dragons before, that could be a potential culprit? Idk they deserve the block back for shaming people for selling fodder though

[(Anonymous)]

Ah. I buy a lot more than I sell, but that would explain it.

[(Anonymous)]

im a verry prevalent fodder flipper and they dont have me blocked... curious

[(Anonymous)]

just checked, same here, unblocked so far

[(Anonymous)]

I'm also blocked by them which do they block everyone who buys a dragon of theirs and fodders it? Maybe they shouldn't ah sell their dragons then bc that's where I would have bought them.

[(Anonymous)]

They block for every reason you can think of lmao. They used to post a lot of questionable stuff in PYCT, and occasionally people would call them out on some of it, and they’d get blocked. But they’d also just block people for making posts they didn’t like that had nothing to do with them (which they would make some vague post about, so people knew), and even threw a fit and blocked someone once because they didn’t respond to a dragon inquiry in a timely enough manner for them (like, after a few hours). I think a lot of the blocks started from PYCT.

However, a lot of people are blocked who have never communicated with them in anyway, and never even posted in the same threads as them - or have even posted at all. It literally seems like they just go through active users sometimes and randomly start blocking. I’m blocked, and I’ve never spoken to them and barely post, but even then it’s not usually in the same forums they hang out in.

I’m sure they’ve probably blocked people for flipping/exalting their dragons too, but who knows. They did used to have a huge aggressive disclaimer on their profile about how they block to avoid being aggravated and causing a seizure. People can block for whatever reason, so good for them for curating their online experience and all, and if it helps them feel safer then that’s great, but given the huge quantity of people they seem to randomly block and how often they post, one wonders how usable the forums really are for them. All I can imagine is solid walls of ‘you cannot view this users posts’.

the first paragraph pretty much sums it, but as another user posted, they can just use incognito windows to look at lairs without penalty, so it's a pretty easy workaround. since forums aren't limited by blocks, they can just post.

you could in theory report for block evading if you've blocked them, but your mileage may not get far depending on how staff handles it. according to their Stalking section of the Harassment page on their FAQ, they include "attempting to get around blocks using third-parties" under their definition of stalking.

[(Anonymous)]

That would require evidence though. Sure, you can use private mode/a different browser to see the forums or someone’s lair, but until you act on it somehow I doubt there’s anything the mods can do. There’s no evidence that block evading was occurring in the dragon share thread unless the person Luvia posted afterwards was someone they had blocked.

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder how many evil mutuals (you have each other blocked) Luvia has

[(Anonymous)]

I'm surprised Luvia can even participate in forum games. With god knows how many players blocked, with games that require one to look at the lair and dragons, surely they would have an equally hard time catching someone to respond to who they haven't blocked and don't want to block. Unless they deliberately unblock for that purpose but they don't seem like the type to do that

[(Anonymous)]

They could just open the lair in an incognito tab to get around blocks.
