Blocked people

Hi when you block someone they can not view your profile but they can still click on our photos in the gallery and can still like them 😕 I think they should be blocked from that as well 😕 do you agree or is it just me ??

and no we don't block a lot of people but the odd one we have had to lol

Problem is gallery photos are public and anyone can view them. Not sure how easy it would be to write the code to prevent blocked users viewing and liking photos in the gallery.

Maybe make the photos private when you upload and after a week when they are no longer "new photos " change them to public. Not sure if this will prevent them from showing in the gallery or not.

Intrepid is correct. Public photos are public.

Non R18 public photos are public. e.g people can view them without even logging on.

R18 pictures can only be viewed from a logged in account . ( paid account)

still think if you block someone they should be BLOCKED from photos as well

Some major flaws in this program when you block people they don't seem to be really blocked, ie the chat, photos. Guess it is better to be prudent and hide photos as stated above.

Seems those photos are not even safe they can be downloaded

I agree, blocking should be complete, especially with the kind of content and relationships in KS

I totally agree, it should be fully blocked from everything

Also think if you block someone, they shouldn't be able to follow you either.

I am still coming to grips with the whole process. I am always polite respectful and not pushy . It is my usual habit if my page shows someone has checked my profile i look at their profile. I have a couple of members who regularly check back on my profile yet when I try to check thiers it's blocked ?. It cannot be anything I have done as I have had no contact with them . It's a little unnerving. That coupled with people who don't respond to polite messages is odd. I prefer thanks but no thanks as I realised as a solo older guy I am not everyones cup of tea. I have had one response thanks but no thanks which was good but the same couple repeatedly look at my profile . I guess it comes with the KS membership lol. It's not a rant honest just a Little perplexed.

You've acknowledged that you're "not everyone's cup of tea" and yet you still have trouble accepting that people aren't interested? That they don't want to put the time into messaging you back just to say No Thanks?

No offense dude but let it go, if they're keen, they'll message back, if they're not, just move on!!

I've had someone recently "like" my profile, even though I've already blocked them! They then reached out on another site to ask why I blocked them!

Just let it go, honestly, if someone blocks you, it's because they're not interested. That's probably nothing to do with you, it may be a management strategy to limit the profiles that come up!

If someone is blocked I agree, they shouldn't be able to see your content, and they really shouldn't take it personally.

It’s likely that all SM’s are blocked, so might not be you. I’ll admit, I only blocked one person on KS. It was a person I’d seen visiting my profile a few times, and when I tried to view theirs… I was blocked. Initially I thought WTF! as I’d never interacted with the profile other than posting on the same forum thread. Then maybe thought it was ALL SM’s and gave them the benefit of the doubt and unblocked . But to each their own.

If I find some content posted by a profile that makes me think, "Absolutely not", then I'll likely block that profile, whether I've interacted with them or not. Just easier than having to remember all the different things, lol.

I've blocked a profile simply because I didn't like the profile name. Some of the names people come up with, especially single males tells me everything I need to know about them and their level of intelligence so I just block them as I know we would have zero interest in them.

And it does seem you have to block them separately in the chatroom as well.

Totally agree, lol, need go no further than the name sometimes! 🤣

And yes, the chat is separate, you have to block on chat and regular site, still allows them to view gallery and you may come up on their "people who've viewed you before" section

Funny you mention this. Talking with a couple this weekend who said the same thing. Whether it be a KS profile name or a K I K handle name, some things just don’t offer a stellar first impression to some 🤣

It can be good though, to know right upfront what they're looking for.

If the name is obvious or there are like 9 pics of their cock from different angles, good to know that's what they're interested in

I've found myself having to block the same guy 3 times on 3 different profiles, some people have no respect for boundaries. Also blocking guys who don't read profiles and respect that or the relationship my partner and I share as we play together because it's our fetish that we like to watch each other with another couple, single ladies, lady couples and orgies. Yet we get couple profiles and only the male is the only one playing or we set a meeting up with a couple and start chatting over messages and 2 days before the meet the husband messages and wants to visit without his partner knowing mines at work. It could be just me but disrespecting our boundaries isn't going to lead to my knickers on the floor and in no way are we here to service sneaky partners or arrogant males like we're the salvation swingers army, that's the type of service you go and pay for.

We block for a number of reasons and won't respond to pm if someone clearly hasn't read the profile properly.

Single guys do not help themselves or others on here by the way they behave.

Serial picture hunters and picture likes or profile likes can be off putting from guys way too old or out of town etc. A profile full of cock pictures gets an instant block.

We did try the polite no thank you, only to get a rant in return.

Fair enough I understand your point of view . I only posted to get a feel how people operate on here and got that . It helps relative newbies like myself navigate it without pissing people off after all we are all just looking for some fun . Wanting a bit of fun doesn't have a sell by date lol so I just hope others see that . Thanks for your honesty

This has been an informative thread. Thanks everyone for contributing.

A few observations:

• Under settings you can control whether contact with you is allowed or not from males, females and couples. We have generally allowed all (even if we wonder about that some days). Can't be sure, but that might explain why people show up as having looked at your profile but you cannot do the same with them and are told you are blocked.

• You can also (from the same settngs page) de-select a default option that otherwise allows search engines and non-members to see your profile. (Well, the non-explicit parts of it we assume.)

• Perhaps also keep in mind that the general publicity for the site for people internet-surfing who are not logged in includes recent (non-explicit) photos uploaded to the gallery.

• As with so much of online life, people are ruder than in person. It's not fun feeling hounded by someone who continues to make contact when it must be obvious that we have no interest. No single female has ever followed us around on this site. But singles males ... that's a different story. And before you ask, yes, we do often reply with a quick thanks but no thanks. But we don't have to engage just because someone opened up to us with some crummy line or two. We hope that people move along quickly and realise it takes all types to make this world even among lifestylers. We would rather not reach for the block function but we think it's a necessary tool.

• The suggestion of making photos private initially and then opening them up at leisure is a great one - thanks! (Relatedly perhaps, this is not a very sophisticated website and identity compromising events from bad actors are just waiting to happen so we urge caution in having media here that identifies you unless you are really comfy with people knowing about this side of your life. The online world is moving so fast that routine identification from pictures (face pictures) is a thing that people don't seem to be thinking much about yet - look up reverse image search tools like Tin Eye.)

• Finally, we've wondered whether the site authors/coders make some (not so nice) magic happen so that it appears people have looked at your profile when they haven't really. We haven't bothered to research it and the hunch is based on a few conversations with genuine people who tell us they were surprised to get a message from us thanking them for liking our profile! If there is anything in this, it's a kind of cheap tactic of trying to stimulate activity and feed those chemical reward pathways in our brains like so much else going on in the social media landscape where the buzz of new new new keeps people logged in and scrolling.

Awesome reply

In regards to reverse imaging sites. All our photos on here including our plan face photos are only on this site and are not on the internet anywhere else for that exact reason. You do have to be careful with what you upload to this site as I wouldn't put much faith in the programmers having very good security (based on the amountof otherstuff that doesn't work on here). I'm guessing it would be a reasonably easy site to hack if someone really wanted to and get access to everyone's private photos and face photos.

"it appears people have looked at your profile when they haven't really"

Just in respct of this observation. You will find that if you pass your cursor over a name which then activates a pop up box displaying brief details of that person, that's shown as looking at a profile even though you didnt click to open full display of the said profile. That's for names in chat room, gallery pics etc. Hope that makes sense. Great observations by great way Couplewatch

Wet and horny that is so helpful. I have messaged people thanking them for checking profile that goes someway to explaining the lack of response. It's hard enough being an older solo guy and it is disheartening when people don't reply . Maybe you can help with another thing I have two couples who regularly check my profile and I do find it difficult to believe that they are all in error . When I try to check their profile it's blocked . I am loathe to message them and ask as I don't want to risk a ban or seem like a stalker lol
