A block on Twitter is not absolute. If you are blocked by person Y for example you can log off, go to that person's channel without logging on and view his/her posts. Another option might by a direct reply blockbut you could do a repost and reply.

Or how about just let him ignore people and if his ideas can survive in a free and open marketplace of opinions then all the better.
 
If this is really about Gays getting butthurt because people are replying to his content negatively, then maybe Gays' content should be hidden from the rest of us, or Gays should be restricted from reaction stickers.

@Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt you make a good point that Gays can simply view the forum outside of his account, bypassing any snowflake measures meant to protect his extremely thin skin. At that point though its out of your hands and so, tough shit for Gays. If he can't swing with the Onions, he doesn't really need to be here.

I've said this before, but I'll mention it again. Allowing users to mutually block other users is going to be a disaster no matter what. Please do not waste time or money on that. It will blow up in your face like you've never imagined.

Reciprocal block is an abomination. Gays is busy whining about muh forums experience, but what about everyone else's forums experience? People who will have to have mixed up threads with missing replies and responses to posts they can't see?

@Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt if gays wants less people to see his posts then he's free to post less. If he wants more people to give him better stickers then he's free to make better posts. No plugins required.

There has to be some kind of accommodation if we want fresh users. I know what you are getting at. Letting Gays criticize other people while wanting to totally insulate himself really wouldn't be fair. On other other hand: Gays has a point. This is a pretty rough neighborhood compared to more moderated forums. But the last thing I want is to turn this into a pissing contest over blocking people.
 
A certain amount of ball-busting, dogpiling and testing you out is normal and even expected. We are a splinter forum of the Kiwifarms and to be completely honest, this can be a pretty rough neighborhood. Terminology such as "nigger" or "faggot" that would get you banned on more moderated forums is permitted here. If you are of a sensitive nature (i.e. thin-skinned) or looking for a "safe space", this forum is not for you. No: We are not a white supremacist or homophobic forum despite what you may have heard.

If you can roll with the punches in a mosh pit of onions, this can be a pretty kick-ass place to post. If you are new here it is best to observe the environment before posting. Having said this: There is an ignore button for people who grind your gears. Staff will respond if there are legitimate serious threats that require intervention.

This is genuinely the nicest forum compared to any of the competition. KF will allow you to dog pile, dox and harass whoever as long as you don't drag it to unrelated places. Opie and Anthony Forums are complete a-logs with basically no moderation beyond don't break the law, same with Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Fresh users are always going to be siphoned from those other forums and what's stifling growth is this place's reputation for harboring sex pests and the unaesthetic themes. Rather late in the game to rehab the reputation part but you could always address the site's aesthetics. Beyond that, growth will occur organically through word of mouth.

No. Nobody gets a criticism free environment. I get my balls busted all the time.

Then what point does he have?
He can ignore people that make him have a sad. That feature already exists, and doesn't require anything to be changed.

What he's asking for is for you to fuck up everyone else's experience because he lacks the self control not to peek and see what people really think about his shitty, derivative posts. I don't know why you're taking responsibility for this fuckwit's emotional regulation. Do yourself a favour and tell him to shut up.
