This is generally @Whit fyi! Though I would like to hear others ideas on a spam box instead of just the DMs being deleted?
I think a spam box could be a good suggestion, its a decent compromise. I'm just generally not sure how many people are really that against the idea of PMs just not going through, I suppose. I know for sure you are, Whit, and that's fine, but I'm kind of thinking about majority kinda thing here.
Also, other peoples criticisms of how you speak are completely valid. Even if they don't maintain perfect composure like I try too. I agree with most of them, that some of your comments come off as incredibly uncomfortable and at least mildly guilt trippy, and that it's difficult to have a discussion with you without just bending over to your insistence that you're being wronged, hurt, or invalidated in some way -- it's frustrating and exhausting.
For the most part, this feature is just kind of going to be a "too bad" kind of thing in a lot of ways. Of course I'd like to try and compromise as much as I can with you and others who may share your concern, but sometimes it's just not fully possible. If there are people who are using the block feature to en mass exclude you, or if they have found a way to weaponize it, I would seriously hope that you're comfortable reporting to staff and having them help out in some way. You should not be harassed and attacked. But if people are uncomfortable with you, or find they dislike speaking with you, and they're not spreading around hate lists or trash talking you, not talking behind your back, and they block you... that's something you're just going to have to deal with. Both on PFQ and off.
