Blocked users

Been here4 since March last year. Blocked 1, unblocked him a few months later.

Blocked eight hundred and fifty three thousand, five hundred..... Just kidding.

Blocked ZERO, member since May 4th, 2009.

 Erik,

You have the ultimate "block" button and it is called "delete account."

You also have access to the information I am looking for but *sigh* you are to busy doing stuff here that makes you money.

Since August 07'  blocked 2

Looks like I will need to redo my calculations. But, I am too busy working right now.

Will do this evening.

Thanks to everyone for responding.

Have you considered a correlation between number of users blocked and member points?

Just blocked one now, only my 2nd.

He sent me a string of invites for obscure groups. I messaged him to please stop.

Then he messaged an appology. I ignored that. But, 5 minutes later when I got the friend request, I thought it was a bit much....

 I have considered quite a few things. That is the wonderful thing about statistics is that we can measure pretty much anything so long as we can come up with a scientifically valid experiment.

But yeah, Artfizz I believe the greater number of member points will result in a greater amount of blocking since there will be a greater amount of disparaging remarks aimed at member with high points due to the nature of things.

Of course, that is only my hypothesis and may or may not be true.

For example, high member points implies greater involvement in forums and what not (of course) and perhaps this member does not have time to track each comment and thus many "trolls" will slip through cracks. Alternatively, perhaps those with high member points enjoy a good debate or throwing barbs back at trolls and thus blocking would not be appealing.

Alas, a lot of "perhaps" here and thus my minor in psychology is trumping my true love of order and measurement, but only temporarily.

This should be an interesting debate 

One of my favourite quotes:

Statistics are like a bikini; what they reveal is suggestive, what they conceal is vital. Aaron Levenstein.

 HA! HA! That is one of my favorites only when I say it "suggestive" is replaced with "interesting."

Zero blocked, no problems.  December 2008.  Creeps usually leave you alone if you don't encourage them.

 But I have hit on you many times and I am not blocked!!!

You should cut that out man, she's engaged to... oh, nvrmind. Achem, carry on.

 I would hope I wouldn't block you from hitting on me!!  After all, we are getting married in eight months or so.

Well, at least he still let's you play on the site.

one blocked for abuse

I found that pretty amusing too.

... and how many people have blocked Erik?
