Not yet. I've have yet to encounter an undisciplined user for me to block. But I knew the reputation of this site before I joined in, so I tend to keep interactions to a bare minimum. I don't believe I'll have to block anyone... for now.

I don't have anyone blocked or ignored. I know some people block or ignore people they disagree with, but I'm not that fragile. If someone was legitimately annoying me or harassing me to the point where it was a problem then perhaps I'd utilize the feature.

I don’t usually block people, but there are definitely circumstances where they were being inappropriate that I was like no thank you. I feel if I block it’s an aggressive response and they’ll either make spam accounts and still message me, so I usually will just ignore if worse case.

No, i haven't come across anyone that annoyed me to a point, where i couldn't bear seeing them. I'll probably only use it, if someones straight up tries to harass me or any of that sort

I have none. I never had to use it.
And I can also can always scroll and just ignore those people. It’s more easier.

5 blocked/ignored users (both lists have exactly the same people on them)

3 of them made discriminatory posts/comments (one of which made several specifically towards myself)
1 of them was just a troll
and I don't remember what I blocked/ignored the other one for, TBH (EDIT: Never mind, I remembered. They were also discriminatory, in addition to setting off several red-flags which gave me the impression that they are GENUINELY a criminal IRL)

It is a rather useless feature. Block just stops people from pretty much messaging or friending you. It should take a lesson from Facebook and block them entirely (from seeing your posts, your replies in discussions, etc.)

Ignoring is also pointless. All it does is minimize the post of whoever you ignore. They need to update both

I have blocked 2 and added 2 to ignore, I have added one user to ignore because he keeps on posting huge images in all his replies on the forums without using the spoiler tag and having to scroll that is annoying. Blocked another because because the idiot asked for source of the information about the author of Hakozume actually having worked with the JP police and when I gave him the links he started insulting me through messages.

I'd say I have blocked quite a few people if your first interaction with me is rude, tag me in things I have nothing to do with or you want to get rise out of me you will be blocked. My tolerance of people is very limited so I know immediately if I don't want to hear/see posts from whoever tried any of the above again.

They don't usually stay on for very long. The exception being the two people on my list right now, who have been on there for a couple months.

The only accounts I ever block are spam accounts posting on my profile, otherwise it feels way too pathetic to me to use anything like a block or ignore function when you can simply choose not to respond if you don't like to talk to someone. But even the latter case does not apply fully to me, as I may not get the incentive to initiate or continue talking to people who have turned out gaga towards me, but at least I don't keep grudges, so if they change their tone and I'm up for talking, I'll gladly talk with them again

Do you use the block and ignore feature on MAL?
Yes and yes.
How many users in your blocked
10. All "mods", some probably former "mods" by now. Just as a reminder, since you can't add them in ignored.
ignored
All 30 and I wish it were unlimited so I wouldn't have to bother once a new moron pops up)
Here's the current list of random douchebags who've been pretty much permanent residents)) I can't recall why some of them ended up there, but I do remember they better stay there.
Concealed are mostly there for other reasons or probably temporary (it's just 30 slots after all).
lol, the forums are already dead enough, so if you hide the replies from the active posters, this will only increase the graveyard experience

edit: there are usually two ways to escape a forum. One is if the forums itself becomes so boring that you don't even bother any longer or something happens to your account. The second one is finding another website or anything else that keeps you occupied

2nd edit: fair enough

I sure do, both features. They're both filled to the maximum (laaaaaame). One way MAL would get better is if there was no limit for either and also, the ignored feature should be like blocking on teh forums. If someone is on your ignored list, they can't @ you, directly reply to your posts, etc. Seriously, get with the times, MAL!! 

I block and ignore users without hesitation or guilt, and for a variety of reasons. But generally, it's 'cause I feel there's nothing edifying, constructive, or positive to be gained with interacting with the user I blocked/ignored. I don't want to deal with people's crap or baggage offline, and I dang sure don't have to online especially when there are available features to mitigate it
