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.

Personalizing the Forum Experience

I was going to rebut this. But on second thought, a block might be more suitable on KennethErwinEngelhardt.net than here.
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.
Okay. So what?
Was he promised a criticism-free experience when he signed up?
Make gays join your other shitty site to bring up the members and I might also join just so he can test out the block feature over there. Stop changing things here because I suspect that's why the site keeps breaking.
I'm tempted to actually make an account regardless just so I can shit post about how dead it is over there.
Reason: If I beat gays before he gets his foot in the door over there then lol
No. Nobody gets a criticism free environment. I get my balls busted all the time.
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.
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.
no he does not theres a reason that its only him crying about the forum being mean maybe he shouldnt have decided that people were his enemies/try to get them banned over shit like ratings
There is a place for the block feature but not here. I think this is better for KennethErwinEngelhardt.net
Yeah, a feature no one will use is perfect for a site no one will use.
im talking about how @The Gays From LA brought everything he is crying about upon himself
Can there be a badge, for those blocked by Gays? Something like the Fonz/Jesus/Jesus Fonz giving it the two thumbs up. Being blocked by Gays is akin to doing the Lord's/Fonz's* Work.

I'd reckon he's trying to give Gays a safe space on the other forum and your comments are going to make Gays unwilling to leave, continuing the cycle of seething forever.
Based
You can't get any safer of a space than an empty forum.
Reason: That being said it would be a shame to lose another cow.
