Currently, when you block someone you can't see their profile, lions, posts, etc. However I would like to suggest that in addition to this, when you block someone they also cannot see your profile, lions, or posts. It is...extremely awkward when someone you have blocked posts on your thread or you see them make a snowman in your den during Christmas (creepy).

It'd be very nice to not have to worry about seeing the people you block ever again.
Currently when you attempt to view lions/profiles/posts of people you've blocked, you receive these messages;

Similarly, if this suggestion were implemented, if you block a user and they attempt to view your profile or lions, they would receive these messages;

"Typhon, how would this suggestion help anyone?"
Well friend, sometimes people are blocked for good reason, and it's...very upsetting to see them ANYWHERE, especially when they choose to stalk your profile all December to build snowmen in your den.
It's also pretty difficult to figure out a way to say "Hey bud, I don't know who you are because I can't see your comment on my forum post, but I can't sell you this lion/item/heat because I have you blocked", because then other people are questioning why you've got that player blocked. This would fix both of these things. As well, frankly I just don't want the people I've blocked to be able to perceive me, and I'm sure MANY other people feel the same way.

While the update to the block system was excellent and very much needed (thank you Admins!!), I feel that this would complete the update to the point that players won't have to interact or see their blocked players at all.

An addition by my wonderful friend Aggy;
"I know some people might prefer the current system, where it takes a bit of detective work for the block-ee to figure out they're blocked. So maybe a two-tier system? 'Classic Block' which functions like the one we have now, for all those mild irritants you don't want to interact with, and 'Complete Block' for the ones you absolutely do not want any contact with period."

So essentially, a "soft block" for people who are...a little annoying, maybe they won't stop offering 3 Albino Feathers on your Leopon trade so you just bap em with a block, and then a full stop, complete block in which they can see absolutely nothing, and neither can you.

(I want everyone to know that I had to block myself several times to make this suggestion which I think is just,,,super funny and I need it to be known LOL.)



This suggestion has 90 supports and 2 NO supports.

This would be really good actually. Too bad I can't hit the support button a million times...

It is definitely awkward if I see a snuhlion from someone I blocked, then I'm like 'Why the hell did they come to my den anyway?' I blocked them for a reason, I don't want them seeing my profile at all. Also if your profile is blocked from the person is not visible, it will save a lot of grief of getting poo for xmas from those people as well.

Support!

I know some people might prefer the current system, where it takes a bit of detective work for the block-ee to figure out they're blocked. So maybe a two-tier system? 'Classic Block' which functions like the one we have now, for all those mild irritants you don't want to interact with, and 'Complete Block' for the ones you absolutely do not want any contact with period.

It's creepy how some of these folks obsess over users who clearly want nothing to do with them, and a more all-encompassing block would offer great support to users who have unwelcome admirers like this. The current system is very nice, but very much focused on an ostrich approach of 'what I can't see can't hurt/bother me'... which completely falls apart when blocked users show up on a thread and just won't stop posting, because now you have this great hidden mass of 'nope' you're trying to ignore while for all you know the blocked user is throwing a tantrum over your lack of response and could potentially be scaring off business or other thread traffic.

100% support! someone i have blocked in the past keeps commenting on my forums, which is really creepy & really strange, since i cannot see their replies anyways ^^;

edit : i actually have a slight change to this! still supporting, but i do think that we should be able to see threads (especially if it is a suggestion / guide) of users that have blocked us, just not be able to respond to it in any way! since the original suggestion up here shows not being able to see threads made by users that blocked us ^^

Could I add a small addition to this suggestion? I know it's probably petty, but I absolutely hate when you can see the username of someone you've blocked in chat when they get pinged. I don't know if it's possible, but it would be fantastic if when someone you've blocked gets pinged in chat the @ displayed as @[blocked user] or something similar. Once I've blocked someone I want to be able to forget they ever existed!

I like the idea minus the lion. Lions should always be visible in my opinion, such as when a player get banned or something like that, the lions should still be there, but if for sale the player should not be able to purchase them.

Or else itโ€™ll make searching and stuff a bit more complicated :)

I second the ping comment above, I'd rather just totally forget the people I've blocked also.

Suggestion - because we all know that lioden is not a vacuum, how about instead of "this user has blocked you" it shows "this ID/lion/trade does not exist"? Yeah, people will still figure it out, but maybe it will protect people a little longer? Just a thought! Totally support.

Support. Ive faced a few times random people have blocked me and I only found that out when I went to buy from them and it gave me an error "you cant buy from that person". It should be more obvious BEFORE you get to the actual buying, that you cannot interact with this person because they blocked you. Otherwise its just very annoying, to suddenly find out someone has blocked you when routinely shopping in the branches.

I honestly dont feel it will have any issues with users "finding out" the other users have blocked them because they already can find that out - by trying to buy anything from the shop, by trying to buy a trade, by "send a stud request" menu missing while the lion shows up as for stud on stud search, etc. These small signs are already present, so blocking someone isnt 100% anonymous, anyway. They will learn right away they're blocked if they try to interact.

It'd be very nice if blocked user/their lions/items/topics did not show up during the search, too, as you cant interact with them in any way, its only confusing and disheartening to see an item for sale and "oh, they blocked me, cant buy from them". I dont know how hard it is to code, but that would be amazing not to have to look through items and lions you cannot purchase, or see a stud on search only not to be able to stud to it. And why'd we need to see topics of someone who cannot see our replies in them?..

huge support, i really wish admins would improve the blocking system. i dont want ANY interaction with those i block, and them being able to see my profile and my forum comments completely defeats this purpose of blocking.
