Answer 1

I don't think you can tell if they block you but I think they can still see your Q&A you just can't mail or IM them.

Answer 2

When you have a veritable Armada of "Multiple Accounts" as I do, it is nearly impossible to "Block" ME.

FYI.

Answer 3

Hey um, doesn't your pic show off a little too much skin?

Answer 4

As far as I know, you cannot see someone's stats or Q&A if they've blocked you. It probably extends to having sent messages blocked, as well.

Answer 5

You know it if you cannot answer their question.

If someone has blocked me, then I ususally block them too so that when they ask a question, then there is a red sign and I do not have to waste my time by clicikng the question I cannot even answer.

When you are blocked, you can still e-mail to people unles they do not accept e-mail. They can also star your question

Answer 6

You know because you click on their questions and it says "you can not view this question at this time."

You can view their profile but not their Q&A and you can't email them. They can answer your questions and view your profile unless you block them back which is what a lot of people do because we all say "so I don't accidentally click on their questions" - but really it's a revenge block.

The effect is that it's irritating to be blocked unless you deserved it, then it's kind of funny.  

Answer 7

If you get blocked by church people it will hurt your chances when you go to meet Jesus in Revelation Hall at the end of the dispensation or whatever.

Try not to incur their irkage and they may not block you.

Answer 8

If they block you, you cannot open or respond to their questions.

Answer 9

You will know that you have been blocked when you click on their question and it says you are unable to view question at this time.  They can still see your questions, unless you block them back.  They can still see your other answers to other questions.

I don't know about e-mail.  When someone blocks me, I leave them alone.  Life is too short...

Answer 10

I think you need to ask this question in the Yahoo section.

Answer 11

I know of two people who have blocked me.

You don't get any emails and they usually don't tell you.

The only way I could tell is because I could not view their questions.

Answer 12

You get the 'you cannot view, etc" stuff others have described....the effect is you have to listen to their rants, but you can't rant back unless they answer your question, and you know THAT they've blocked you already - which is tough because it takes like 2 minutes to change an avatar.

The emails I don't know about - I block emails anyway - too many fruitcakes on this forum...

It's a silly thing really...I get blocked by people that I've caught in a lie and called them on it all the time...just as well, I don't like listening to liars anyway...

Lion, I'm surprised more women don't block you...

Answer 13

When someone blocks you, you'll know when you click on a question and it says 'You Cannot View This Question At This Time'.

They can see you and answer your questions, but you can't see them or answer their questions.  They can also email you, but you can't respond back to them.

Answer 14

You'll know for sure you've been blocked when you have answered a question and want to go back to it but get a message which says, "You cannot view this question at this time."  

Then you'll know that the person asking that question has blocked you.

I've been blocked three times this week -- I was really calling out the dishonesty of some people and they didn't like it.

I don't think you'll be able to email them because you won't be able to see their profile.

Answer 15

they can see them but they cant answer if you block them

if they block you, then you cannot see their profile
