Dear FA, your Block feature is bad and you should feel bad!
9 years ago
It's perfectly placed to accidentally block someone instead of watch them. Why the hell would they put it there?
As an artist who watches a LOT of users (currently over 1400), I'm used to habitually clicking the button on the far right. Because it's always been the "+Watch" button. So I hover over the far right button, about to watch a new artist... WAIT SHIT THAT SAYS BLOCK.
This normally wouldn't be a huge problem. You can simply unblock them, right? But if that person is also watching you... it removes you from their watch list! So then you have to message them and say "Hey FA's block feature is a bag of dicks. Watch me again please? Be careful not to accidentally block me." :|
Here's my idea -- place the "Block" button safely over to the right side of the page. Like this:

Problem solved. But that would require FA staff to think logically, which seems to be difficult for them.

So now when you try to go to their user page, you block them. ;D
Firefox add-on "Remove This Permanently" AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
Select [+Block] button and Right-click context menu for "Remove this permanently".
[+Block] gone. Now make it work for other journals.
___
Right-click the RIP tombstone icon, select Options.
Edit URL to https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/*
Wild-card (star) to replace the journal name and number to work on anyone's journal.
Repeat for other page types (UserPage;Gallery;Favorites;Scraps), or use URL: https://www.furaffinity.net/*
and add the XPath expression for each page. They're not all the same.
Optional: Rename the RIP(s)
Done. No more mis-selection on that browser.
___
To use [+Block] button, right click the tombstone icon and "Display all Hidden Items"
[Block] button will reappear for use, then disappear at refresh (next journal/user/gallery, etc.)
Easy gone, easy back.
