Blocking People (and Other Living Things) from Adding Comments on your WA Profile
I've always wondered if we can block people from writing/ adding comments on our own personal profiles at WA....and Now I Know the Answer!
Have you noticed Jay's (Magistudios) new "aged" profile pic?
I am sure you have, Jay is quite the joker!
Like most, I thought it was really funny!
So today I wanted to make a witty comment back acknowledging and complimenting Jay's funny new profile pic (the same way others have), and tried to post a comment on Jay's profile by clicking "ADD", but low and behold it wouldn't let me.
What do you know? I've been BLOCKED by Jay!
To verify as an experiment, I responded to Amelita's comment (directly below my comment to Jay which wouldn't take), and as you can see, THAT comment DID post.
So the only profile comments that are blocked are the ones that I would post directly to Jay.
BTW, Jay is my Personal Coach.
Originally I also signed up to WA as a "newbie" through Jay's affiliate link.
Can Anyone Help Me Out?
I need some help here.
Does anyone here know how to block others from posting comments on their WA profiles, as Jay (my Personal Coach and Referrer) has done to me here?
Is there a Setting change available in the Dashboard?
Or is this only available to "WA insiders"?
Not that I would ever do this.
In fact, I have ZERO interest in doing this.
Anyone and Everyone who is a WA member can post ANY comment they like on my profile. I get comments and ANSWER those comments all day long from new and older members.
Unless it was a rare isolated incident of a SPAM comment, but that would be dealt with on a comment-to-comment basis AFTER the comment was posted. That's not the case here. This is obviously a setting change.
I would never Pre-Block anyone by changing my Settings..
But since I am always curious for new knowledge, I'd like to know if there is a procedure on how to do this.
For anyone who knows how to change these settings in the WA Dashboard, please share here.
It's All Good
Honestly, I don't know why anyone would do this, I've never had any beef with Jay.
He is the one who sponsored me into WA.
He is my Personal Coach and Mentor.
But that's okay, I am not offended at all.
Just curious on the procedure.
If this post doesn't get taken down or at least hidden from your view (which it probably will), at least for short period of time it was transparent and informative.
Cheers,
Kaju

Interesting post!
I was not aware that it was possible to do that. But as you said, I don't see at all what this is for. Apart from pretending to be a little antisocial. I don't think WA is the place to exclude people. But it would be interesting to know why this is possible.It doesn't seem to me that Kyle or Carson would exclude us in this way,I hope it was Jay's mistake and it will open up again to everyone.
Have a great weekend!
Friendly

Thanks Ingrid, yeah it is really very interesting. There are a lot of things we still don't know about the WA platform, and perhaps never will.
Hope so, I agree WA is not the platform to exclude people. Leave that to mass social media:)
Have a Great Weekend!
Kaju
Kaju, I can't imagine that Jay would block you from posting, especially when he's your sponsor and mentor. It must be some sort of technical glitch. Have you tried PM'ing Jay to let him know?
Yeah that would certainly make sense,Bizzygal wouldn't it? I hope it is a glitch (still possible)
Although I tried it several times with the same result. And when I made a comment to Amelita (and others on that profile) the comment was posted immediately.
So its likely a block, but if that's the case not many know how to do this.
Wow, Kaju that is interesting. I wonder if it was a glitch like leaving a comment on a website and it kept kicking it back at spam?
I experienced that on websites but not on WA. That's so weird. When you find out let me know too! 😂
It could be a glitch Kelly, but then I tried it several times with the same result. And when I made a comment to Amelita (and others on that profile) the comment was posted immediately.
You can delete a comment made from someone on your posts and profile but the only way to block someone is via PM at this stage I don't see any other method to block. You can unfollow but that doesn't mean they can't see you or your posts and the other way around.
Well Andre, if you re-read me post I clicked on "ADD" and nothing happened; it went nowhere. However could add comments to other commenter's comments ion that profile.
So its possible there is a way, but we don't know about ti.
If there is then we don't know about it and as you said it may be included within a circle.
As I said the only blocking I know of is on a PM and that is after you they send you one
Let us know if you find out.
Thanks again Andre:)! Here's a great Tokyo story for you on my new YT channel:) Send me your YT link and I will Subscribe. You can Subscribe to my channel here:)

If you don't yet, I will happily return the favor when yours is up.:)
Not sure about the blocking but give Jay a break. At the rate he is aging(living the hard life) he may not make it to Christmas. I will miss him on Friday nights.
Mark
Yep. you're right Mark. Jay is aging like he put the "time machine in fast forward"! Lol!
Really interesting, Dale had an interesting comment about possible "spam filters" here below, but now he deleted it.
Don't know why, I thought it was informative and there was possible merit in it, and I responded to it.
Hi Kaju,
Not sure about the blocking. Can't see a reason when there is a delete button.
Perhaps I am reading this all wrong, it happens often.
Best wishes,
Michael
There is a way to block people Micheal, it has happened to me. Although I agree this is of little use.
Take Care,
Kaju
Interesting...Have no idea, let's see what the deal is when someone who knows lets us in on this... :)
Great to see you Dave:) Long time!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit, I am very curious myself!

Thanks for this Mr and I can't say I have ever noticed that but don't think it is a nice thing to do to people if you are able to, especially if it is ones at the top doing it.
I have never seen that happening at all sorry but certainly don't think it is right.
I hope you get an answer or that it was just a slip-up or a joke on Jay's part friend. xxxx
Hey its all good C, just trying to figure out what happened. xxx
Pleased to hear that friend. Xxx
Egg-cellent!
Egg-actly friend lol. xxx
Love it C!
I love our banter friend.
Same here:)
We haven't had much time for a while now to have a long banter session.
We definitely need to catch up on our banter C!
We certainly do. xxxx
