Blocking should only be done in the most extreme circumstances. checkmateibeatu, I have seen you block someone for voting for an opening move you didn't like on your Hurt/Heal opening moves thread.

I'd say that if 200 people have resorted to abusing you (this is aimed at anyone) that you must have deliberately done something to irritate. Or else you're just blocking people for taking, say, the opposing side in an discussion, and defending their point vehemently.


That move was none other than the move that is considered to be the worst, 1.f3.  If I was gonna make a real survey of that, the only choice was to block them.


 there is no such thing as real survey here in the forum.


Well there is now, since I blocked those Lenny Bongcloud voters.

The Bongcloud isn't exclusively a joke. Conquistador plays it.

No he doesn't, if you look at his games (at least his recent ones).

So does GM Simon Williams.


Sure he played it in that one game, but not regularly.

Your point? He still plays it! I don't play the same opening every game.

What does sanity have to do with it? People have different thresholds for what bothers them. This is reasonable. Some people interact with more people than others. Also reasonable. Why is it unreasonable to want to block more than 200 people?

Makes no sense.

Hard limits in general are not a good idea.

This logic reminds me of people who cry foul when, heaven forbid, one of their opponents is taking even 50% of their allotted time, and has more than 100 games going at the same time!

"We need an upper limit on number of games", they cry.

*Facepalm*


 I do agree with you, who'd block 200 people?

With no context, as castling your king to safety is a basic principle, the masters play the Bongcloud only as a surprise weapon.

The Bongcloud is getting your king out in the opening, but the main one is 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2.

If you need to block 200 people then you need to take a good long hard look at yourself.


Hahaha.

And if you dont like what you see, continue the habit and block yourself?
