My thoughts are that a person at least needs to know that they got blocked and in my view it is only the "adult thing to do" to tell a person why he/she has been blocked. A simple site generated message, telling someone that he/she has been blocked with a reason that is completed by the blocker would suffice, with as little or dew detail deemed necessary by the blocker. Let's face it, this site is becoming endlessly childish because of issues such as this.

Let me explain from personal experience (something that happened to me 2 days ago):

I was in the pool, chatting merrily. A "friend" came on and I greeted her AFTER SHE GREETED ME. We chatted for a while in the main pool and I decided to have a peek at her profile (appqrently she had new pictures on). I haven't seen her or looked at her profile for a while. It seemed as if I was blocked after I selected "view profile". I checked my blocked list to remove her, thinking that I accidentally blocked her. We were, afterall, friends and chatting like there is no tomorrow in the pool! When I did not find her there, I mentioned to her in the main pool that we seem to be blocked from each other and that it wasn't a block from my side, thereby indicating that it must be a site glitch. She then got in a short stab, saying that she is done with drama (WTF) and REPORTED ME FOR CONTACTING HER IN THE POOL and for asking if it was some kind of a glitch!!! Please bear in mind that I greeted after SHE greeted first, etc. Based on this, I got a 24 hour chat ban. Let me not even get started on how fair this was and on what I think of her now (In retrospect: I do perceive this as luck and a bullet dodged, seeing that she is also a bit of the town bicycle and even though this is a swing site, moat of us have standards. Also, she has absolutely no discression and seems to be flaunting her sexual encounters and the real names of people that she had them with, to whomever is willing to waste their time on chatting with her.)

So in short: I think the site is lacking in terms of proper indication and procedures about what should be done when you are blocked. There should be a place to contest it, even if it is through a site admin, to find out if it is an accidental or deliberate block. I have been contacted by people that I have blocked by accident and it happened to me too in the past.

I furthermore feel that there is no transparancy surrounding when someone is banned or kicked or just warned, and people seem to be using all of this as a weapon of sorts to get others banned. How childish on a supposedly adult site!!
