Idle curiosity re. blocking sender?

Afternoon all, I was just wondering what happens when you use the "block sender" option in your pm's? Obviously any message sent by the person blocked would not reach your inbox, but does the sender get a message telling them that they have been blocked?

I have never felt the need to block anyone, so it's just idle curiosity, but I would like to know!

Right. I'll send you a pm and we can find out. Ok? here goes...

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 23-Jun-14 13:15:44

I've done it. But, of course, if you block me I will never ever be able to pm you again. But that's alright innit?

I mean "isn't it" blush

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 13:33:01

Give me a mo and I'll send you a test!

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 13:34:21

Done it!

Ana Mon 23-Jun-14 13:40:22

Can't you 'unblock' someone if you change your mind? confused

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 13:43:12

Oooh good point Ana

By the way jingl I can't remember which one of us was going to be the blocker and which the blockee confused blush

Sorry! Wandered off for my lunch. You've got to block me. I think.

That's what I love about gransnet.....so ahead of the game grin

Right jingl you send me another pm, and when it lands I'll give you the red hand treatment!

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 14:52:33

I've done it, but it is a bit of a worry! When you click "block sender" a little box comes up asking you if you're sure that you want to block ALL messages from name in the future!

Right, now try to send me another one and we''ll see what happens!

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 15:01:00

Send it quick, because I've got to go out and get my wound looked at!

grin grin grin

Can you unblock them though? Only you used to be able to temporarily block posts from people on facebook (you still can but by another method) and I clicked on block from MiL, and I had unfriended her! shock You can imagine the poo I was in, she didn't talk to me for weeks no matter how much I apologised.

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 16:34:11

Right, back from the docs, where's that jingl got to?

Riverwalk Mon 23-Jun-14 16:44:01

phoenix are you squaring-up for a fight and preparing for the fall-out? grin

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 16:46:53

Nooooo! I'm a nice Phoenix!

Ana Mon 23-Jun-14 17:25:11

Perhaps something sinister happens to those whose posts are blocked...confused

Anne58 Mon 23-Jun-14 17:26:52

shock Don't tell me I've broken her!

Ana Mon 23-Jun-14 17:49:36

I'm sure you haven't, phoenix - jingl's made of sterner stuff than that! (I think)

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 23-Jun-14 17:55:30

Another one

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 23-Jun-14 17:56:44

Oh Shite! That's wrong! 'ang on....

Ana Mon 23-Jun-14 17:57:04

Another what? Not...a you-know-what from you-know-who? hmm
