I will explain it this way zzzzzzzzzz.. oops dropped off to sleep

Say Sylvs and I are in a FB group together and I block Sylvs... but no one else in the group.

1) if I start a thread Sylvs cannot see that thread or what any of our other mates say.

2) If Sylvs starts a thread the same thing happens

and then there is 3) Agatha Bagwash starts a thread .. Sylvs can see it and I can see it but if Sylvs posts an entry on that thread I cannot see her comments and vice versa.

Hope that explains it very clearly.

You are now unblocked Sylvs..

Facebook has a lot of wonderous happenings .. eg you are in a group you go to that group page and you may only look at one of the threads started but at the top of every other thread that you have not looked at all it will give your name as having seen it... all because you have been on the page.

Facebook has a bit of trouble separating fact from fiction/fantasy at times.

Persie ;-)

Edit: and because different people see my wall some now know me as Persie even though I am not Persie on Facebook.. but some people call me by that name.

Even my SIL called me Persie one day..

If you were blocked then that person can just unblock you and FB will then "work normal" between you and them depending on what other security/privicy settings they have,

Unblock does not reniew the friend as a friend in your friends list, one of you would need to send a friend request and the other would need to accept it

Staffs

that's not correct!


we've just had a situation where one person blocked another on an FB page I go on to regularly.

Neither of them could see what the other had posted on any other of the 3 shared sites we had in common

According to Facebook itself if someone blocks you it stops you starting conversations with them or seeing things they put on their Timeline but does not stop you seeing or commenting on things in shared places

I think they just have to unblock you for you to be able to read what they say on a mutual friends page.

I'm pretty certain they do not have friend you again

I'm saying that because I can see other people posting on my friends' pages, and I am not friends with those others

If you are a mutual friends page then I think you both can read what each other write

I was blocked on Facebook a while ago, so what I would like to know is can this person just unblock me or do they need to ask me to friend them again as well for me to see them on a mutual friends page.
Hope this makes sense.
