I don't making calls because most of them feels like a harassment to me. I prefer text messages. If why I'm being called isn't because of an emergency, it irritates me. If I get called frequently by anyone, the person is going into my blacklist numbers.

Have you blocked anyone from calling you?
 
Wait, so, if family and friends want to call you to check up/see how you're doing/is not an emergency you would possibly add them to the blacklist? Hm.

Only rude wrong numbers as in you called my phone, don't ask me who I am, spam, telemarketers, that type of thing.
 
I mostly just had robo-callers and scammers on my blocked list with my old number.
 
Never have and very few people know my number .I think I'm a little old fashion i prefer to call... i hardy send text but i dont call often either or for no reason ... most times i take few months before i call anyone ..
 
Sadly, I don't have a call block facility.
 
No, that is not enough, now if you get me the wrong coffee then i will
Well since you're being so bitchy I'm going to put Stevia in it. Of course if you were to invite me over I could make you my specialty, floor coffee.
 
I do get some recurring calls sometimes. If I keep seeing the same number and they don't leave a message, I'll block it.
I wish I could block entire area codes sometimes. Sometimes I'll get a ton of calls from a random city on the other side of the country. All the same city and area code but a different phone numbers calling me.

I forgot about this post :whistles: what are we arguing about?:D
 
We aren't though @Nebulous is being a complete fucking asshole and I discover I can't ignore him. Fuck I've been in brutal pain for a week but he bombards me with meaningless posts even though I've though told him three times now, I think. Happens again I'm leaving because I shouldn't have to put up with bullshit from an owner. I'd rather go back to spending my time alone.

Right, I'm the asshole.. Why don't you shut off all your alerts: https://offtopix.com/account/preferences
 
Just let my answering service get all my calls. Only time i pick up regardless of when is for my son.
 
And that will stop when he start's asking for money:beg:

The moderator who Deleted my thread An Apology to Nebulous because I posted 162 non-copyrighted songs from YouTube onto this thread and this fool called it spam. They did this once before calling two posts spam. Anyone care to define Spam for me . All the rule says is "Spam" leaving any moderator to define spam any which they like allowing them to lie since there is no discussion

Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, for the purpose of non-commercial proselytizing, for any prohibited purpose (especially the fraudulent purpose of phishing), or simply repeatedly sending the same message to the same user. While the most widely recognized form of spam is email spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media:

And then there's Forum Spam:
Forum spam consists of posts on Internet forums that contains related or unrelated advertisements, links to malicious websites, trolling and abusive or otherwise unwanted information. Forum spam is usually posted onto message boards by automated spambots or manually with unscrupulous intentions with intent to get the spam in front of readers who would not otherwise have anything to do with it intentionally.

You sure handled that well, much better than many forum owners who’d just ban anyone abusive to them .

Note that I don’t condone abuse but ppl are stressed sometimes. Mods who can take it and give a witty reply are the best ⭐️

Thanks for being you, @Nebulous 💜

I was thinking the same thing 😂 I tend to make appointments to call friends but my friends know this and aware of the fact I just don’t do unplanned socialising as an introvert :P
