Thanks. I missed that. I wonder why I am muted there. :( I am a noob and have no idea what I did wrong to earn that. Oh well.

Most likely because of this this this and this in this post:

Yeah you are most likely right. I honestly hang my head in shame about listed posts three and four. Bad form no doubt. That post bothered me and I was in a testy mood that evening but that is no excuse. There is no excuse.

Cedar is correct. It is because of comments in that thread. If I remember correctly that was one of the first times I encountered you here on Hubski. I'm sorry if it was a bad day for you, but It's nice to hear some humility about it. I'm okay with un-muting you, but at the time I saw someone I never wanted to comment on my posts.

For the record, I don't currently plan on Blocking anyone ever, PM's are welcome, even from the few users I've muted.

Sorry about that and thank you for letting me know.

I'm glad to hear that.

No worries, I filtered you because of it but if anything that's made your posts/comments stand out more and whenever I've seen your name I've stopped and read what you've said and it's not stopped me from re-sharing them when I have thought them valuable contributions.

I think the problem with muting and blocking is it leaves little recourse to make up, and in this instance I would say that it was far too strong a measure as those comments seemed to be made out of character and, as you said, in a testy mood.

Edit: You're unfiltered now friend :)

I'm glad it worked out between you two in this thread. I've also had a fair amount of success PMing the person who has muted me in the past. Filter might be a little different... mk and team, is there a way to know when you're filtered? "You are filtered here" or something? Probably more trouble than it's worth. Just a thought.

mk  ·  3387 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Since filtering doesn't affect the filtered person's use of the site, I don't think it is necessary. Filtering can be used for benign reasons, and I think displaying it would change that. Hush is similar.

As mute (and block) does affect a person's interactions. I think it is best to make it clear.

I meant to say block... whoops. Does it look the same as mute?

mk  ·  3387 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes.

sorry I bugged you on this one... I should have just gone and done some READING. For anyone else who hasn't read the mechanics in a while...
