Seems like the entire review escalated into flaming quickly.
http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.forum.blockland.usHere's some of the posts from people I want to slap:
"Riddled with Cyberbullying, there's even a section dedicated to talking trash about other members."
And why do you think those members get trash talked about?
"This website is filled with kids pulling excuses out of the places you'd least expect. Sure, nice people will be on there, but everything else is just an eye sore. The Off-Topic section is filled with horrible lies, which lead into the Drama section. Drama is basically hell. You'll see older members picking on the new guys because they don't "approve" of them, when the new people are just trying to fit in. Even the new people might not fit in correctly, and they'll bash the regular people, just to cover up something that they did stupid. When I say they, I mean the new guys, they might make a horrible clan, instead of closing it after bad comments, they go on a whole rampage. It's like they're going "HULK SMASH!" and try to smash everyone's reputation. What I'm trying to say is, the blockland forums is just a horrible place to hang out, everyone is just mad and maybe even handicapped, especially if you try to share your feelings, they'll just bash you, and put all of their hot steam on other people. If you want a simple place to hang out, blockland forums is not recommended. Seriously, who knew that a great game like blockland could have such a bad forum!"
First bold: We are teens, not kids.
Second bold: Lies? Where?
Third bold: You just bashed someone yourself
"First of all, I am a parent. There is supposed to be a censored chat, and even though it was enables, the F word came through full and clear. The player that used that word also banned my son from his server and I had read the chat session and I can't see where my son did anything to warrant this behavior. I contacted Blockland support and they told me I didn't have my censor chat enabled (wrong) and that the player that banned my son could do so if he wanted (even though he violated rules himself) and even though they DID NOT review the chat session. In addition, he turned the tables around and accused my child stating that "normally younger children provoke players". This was not the case, they didn't even look into it and they ignore the fact that a safety measure that they have in place does NOT work. They got our money and they don't care. PARENTS....this is not credible behavior by a supposed site that should have safeguards in place. What other filth is being sifted through their supposed filters?"
When will adults finally understand that your child can be banned from any server without any legal action? This is the internet. It's not like getting banned from school. And why would you go as far to contact Eric Hartman to get your child unbanned? He did something wrong, he gets banned. This isn't a place where we constantly give warnings and never ban. The f word? It is 100% impossible to block the f-word. Users can get past the filter by putting characters into the word. And if it was on, this is probably what happened.
They're known for doing this, I'm boycotting the product.
Of course they're known for doing this, because it completely FAIR. And do you think you, 1 person, is going to stand out as a boycotter in front of over a thousand people?
I think blockland is great! But the forum is well
if there was a fourm heven and hell this would be in hell
Flame war all the time! i aksed if i should get a ps3 and i got flamed.
oh well if you don't mine F-Bombs all the time go ahead!
This isn't flaming. Just because someone is saying something using the f-word multiple times, that doesn't mean anything.
Funny thing is it's against the rules to flame other members, thanks for sharing.
Not sure if this is supporting or not supporting the above quote, but this is not flaming.
Hostile. Online bullying. I was accused of fakely being another User who was banned. Everyone spammed me. Even in the game. After peacefully protecting myself. I was banned for the reason. "Troll/handicap". This site has Gameboy Security. 0/5
Not sure about this either, but if you sound like you took part in it, you can get banned. We can't read minds.
This website, sitejabber, is full of adults who complain about products they don't like and individually pick out all the bad things about products, and nothing good. They try to give the product a bad reputation for no reason. They will never completely understand the internet.
