Putting aside the present criteria for making a blockable post:
What do you think that we, as friends and fellow posters, can do to help prevent blocks? I ask this question because I really, really do not like to see anyone blocked, ever. I've got this idyllic picture of a nurturing and healing place that Babble can be if we foster such an environment.
In lieu of immediately being able to change the guidelines that are used to determine whether a post justifies a block or not, can we help our friends to avoid that block in the first place? So much support is shown here after a block has happened; wouldn't it be better if we could prevent the block in the first place? Wouldn't it be a preventative measure against the hurt that blocks can cause?
Your thoughts, inputs, suggestions... I think we can make the system work better within its current constraints.
