[solved] Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries (self.support)

i cannot add more blocked users so i went one by one through that list ... starting from the first one i blocked. Not surprisingly, looking at each account, they are either Banned or have No Activity Since ~1 year.

Eventually there could be some site maintenance for [ Banned + Empty ] accounts so to clean our block lists accordingly ...

Some other optimization of this type could be made ... i believe it would free the server from useless work since the server have to compute removing according to Long Block Lists ... this task could be heavy in server work ...

What do you think ?

while it would likely be a good idea to limit this, i don't see a limit in the code that would prevent from blocking more users. what's the actual error message you're seeing?

[–] A_A 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i didn't have any error message but even if i clicked repeatedly on "block user", i did not get the pop up message saying :
"user_X is blocked"
... and when checking it, in my block list, (user x) was not added to the block list

there is a possibility that this was caused by a cloudflare rule that was not scoped narrowly enough to achieve what it's intended for. does this issue still persist for you?

[–] A_A 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. As soon as i started removing entries from that list i could again put more entries (maybe it is a coincidence) in the list.

might still have been related, i guess we'll never know.

the rule i changed did look like it had some false positives at least, so even if it wasn't that it should fix issues that could have been experienced by others randomly.

Thanks for researching this and thanks for maintaining the instance "Lemmy(dot)World".

As for optimization and code improvement ... i believe it will come in time as programmers and administrators are able to improve things ...

See you around 👍😁

P.S. : added [solved] flare to title

Update :
it happens again (blocking user fail without message) but this time i see that the user account doesn't exist when i try to open the user account :
https://lemmy.world/u/bartlebees

bad taste post :

Maybe this is what happened last time ?

P.S. : strangely the page for this account doesn't show the user is banned, but instead shows error message :

The server returned this error: unknown.

could be that it's the same thing, in this case it's the result of a user deleting their account.
