Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Huh. Lunch. See, I knew there had to be something I was forgetting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's the feedback on having the MARCIE (or whatever) section display in the profile even when you don't have anyone blocked, with just some text indicating that fact?

A lot of the debate going on right now doesn't affect the logic of the code, so it can continue -- but if we make this profile logic change, it's best to do it before testing starts.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I think that would be helpful, but not necessary.

In fact, the bookmarks screen is similar, and technically should have a message saying "no bookmarks at this time".

It doesn't disappear as an option when you have none. My UI reflex is that it shouldn't.

I'm confused. Are we talking about having the blocked list in the Set profile page, the righthand links (where View bookmarks lives), or in the profile you get when you click on someone's username?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In the Set Profile page, there's currently a section you see if you have one or more users blocked, which lists the users, and allows you to uncheck them -- it's just like the bookmark page, only a section.

My opinion is that the section should be there whether you have anyone blocked or not, just empty in the latter case.

What is even happening?

Yes, this.

Gotcha. I read back and saw "profile" and suddenly wasn't sure whether you meant the public one (in which case, ACK!), or the Set... page.

Now that I'm thinking of it in these terms, though, it would make more sense to me as part of those left-hand links. After all, it's not really part of my profile (which is all about memememe! and anyway is a very long scroll) -- it's a site tool I use in a manner more like my bookmarks.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I agree, ita.

Is it any less about you than the threads you read? In my head it's on the profile page because that's where WebX put it, and I don't see a good reason to move it.

If the profile page is a long scroll, we might want inpage links to scoot up and down it.
