Reposting to fit the format.

Blocking a person only prevents another user from contacting them privately (PM).
I think the option should be extended to the notifications: quoting, linking and the ability to post on their topics.
It would be a simple way to prevent any situation from escalating without proper justification (irrational behaviors).


This would help the website a great deal
Like I told , A solution that gradually solves all mental health issues by offering clear limits for those that tend to go above and beyond is not
just a good suggestion... its a golden mine for a Community website. It goes without saying that this is worth the coding challenges (as linking
profiles was introduced later on this website). Like I told Krawk, a better structure == less rules. And in this case, far less issues that require a member
of the staff to deal with them. If you can't deal with rejection, you should learn to behave in order to merit being well surrounded.


Also, Ty for suggesting a blocker, but this goes beyond closing your own eyes.
It is meant to help people confront themselves (introspection) and develop basic social queues (did you really mean this?)... the community would benefit in more ways
than I wish to expand upon (here) as the only way people change is from necessity.

Thank you!

this please.

I tought it was already part of the block feature ! This needs to be dealt with asap

Hey ,

Thanks for your suggestion. I think you have a nice thought there and a good intent behind it. However, I believe the proposed idea would not work well throughout this platform. In certain areas of the forum, it is important for people to be able to link other members despite being blocked by them; as well as for those members to be notified of their links to a particular topic. Additionally, quite often blocked people have to communicate within the same thread to resolve their despites/problems. There are other examples that I will not list, but, in my opinion, I don't think this will be very beneficial for the forum and its members as a whole.

I would have to respectfully vote no.

I think this can be a good idea.

Too often do I see people getting harassed and trolled by others.

The same people keep stalking and harassing and flaming people.

Voted yes.

I don't think posting should be blocked. I feel like it gives a bit too much power to someone who makes daily topics.
Too easy to just eliminate (block) all differing opinions and end conversations how you see fit.

As for the rest, yes.

Very good point here, users can use this function to manipulate and block those who are in difference in opinion.

I think this would be very useful in the trade forums, this can prevent trolls from spamming your topics with .01 fg increment offers or trying to mislead others in the course of a trade.

This will result in less reports, and less work needed by the already swamped staff members. It’s a low level of controlling spam on your topic.

Voted yes, but would need to be fine tuned to prevent manipulation of opinion.

Should look up your suggestion before posting to see if it's been denied before
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=79701765&f=258
The posting/quoting will not be implemented due to potential for abuse
The staff is really good about handling people who harass other users. Don't feel like this would help

Sorry, was away for a ski trip.



To address this concern:
Opinions always differ unless they come from perspective.
-->Discussing them with integrity == will never incite someone to block you
(*doesn't account for irrational ppl, but they're doing you a favor!)

/Beneficial for all parties regardless.

I had several problems last year with a couple of users that the moderators kindly helped me with. Blocking a user on this site is the best way to deal with scenario's when dialogue has completely failed.
While I found a funny way to resolve the issue (they were linking me useless trade topic's will need this, but I simply had a conversation with the player and we actually found stuff that we could actually trade, to my benefit) it was still very immature on the ego centric entitled, bottom life feeder, anti social, immature prick troll bullies part.
I also agree that yes should also form part of the block. Not everyone using this site is an adult (both sides) and therefore this ability to be a nuisance (read: harassment/bullying) should also form part of the block, if it can be coded into the forums (not sure on the art of the possible).



This suggestion covers alot of aspects not just one. in terms of linking, its not the same thing re: posting in someones topic or linking someone. i appreciate its regrettable (re: you cant stop ppl posting in your topic) but this linking suggestion is something different, i.e. to dissallow someone blocked from linking you / attempting to trigger/harrass a user that has them blocked.

also just because something was refused once in site suggestions is not a reason not to ask for it again. for example, there are very limited D2r specific sub forums and this has been denied, yet, people will still ask from time to time for d2r specific sub forums, in the hopes that they change their mind.



This is more relevant and I would tend to agree with this. I don't know if its in the art of the possible to be selective on the areas posting on this site, but if its not selective then I would agree with TonyZD2R, i.e. that you cant prevent someone blocked from tagging . example : tagging someone you have blocked after he has scammed you, you/he should be able to tag in the S/A forum.



also agree with this.
