I personally supported the extended blocking system in the past:
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=69539091&f=258

But the more I think about it I see one issue with blocking profiles.
What if you trade with someone get scammed and the user is blocking you from viewing his profile? It's not necessarily needed to have a look into his profile. But something that could be abused. And could be extremely confusing for new users.
That means only a certain amount of content in the profile can be generally blocked e. g. the "Notes" ... the entire User Stats // Sends Private Message // Recent Posts & Topics should be all still visible imo.
And then is the question is this function still worth it if you can't generally block the entire profile.


I think you are misunderstanding my suggestion.

I simply want to be able to block a user from PMing me, by blocking them from their profile.
IE if I had an issue with you, I would open your profile and block you. Then you couldn't PM me anymore. This doesn't have to do with viewing profiles

Yeah then its 100% a missunderstanding.
You want to keep the current funtionality but just at a different place. Got it now.
Well yeah then it is fine... could get the same pop-up then as if you add a friend and it wouldn't happen accidently then.

You forget that staff members are people too. If a staff member is continuously harassed... with the conversations going absolutely nowhere - then they have the right to block (just like everyone else). Obviously, there are a lot of other contributing factors, and is a last resort. Also, this wouldn't increase the workload. If someone wants to block randomly (or intentionally), then that is on them.. and essentially *decreases* the traffic; the blocked user wouldn't be aware of it. Staff will never force anyone to unblock somebody, even if the blocked user doesn't know why.

If you don't wish to permanently block, then that's great - but it's a personal privilege (for everyone) to decide why and for how long. If someone blocks you willy-nilly for no reason, then maybe it was for the best, and they've saved you the trouble. If someone has you blocked because of interactions you've had - then that might be a sign to reflect on the situation, regardless if that member is staff or not.

As for the suggestion itself, I don't see any problems with it - as long as there is a confirmation prompt.


Just trying to be friendly here. The example you gave is rather detailed and I won't go into the pros and cons of what you mentioned. But to be specific, everyone here is people not just staff. Not only that my response was directed to why this site suggestion and by a staff member. What you are starting to express and what I stopped reading into is nothing of means in which a profile blocking feature would be used, and if it was it could trigger any person depending on what that users profile is and for what reason.

This is a valid concern staff being able to block people would be a transparency issue.


To be honest I do not PM staff anymore. I have had issues with members blocking me and for whatever purpose. You are correct in the manner that when something like that happens it should become a transparent issue, at least to those involved in fixing it.

IMHO if someone on staff is having an issue with a Member and this site suggestion was to be added then what stops that staff member or other people from telling people to do the same thing as they wanted to, block them or worse.

IMHO this suggestion leads to trolls, worshipping of negativity, and more and I am kind of fabergasted people even have cell phones anymore.( joking but serious if this was implemented. )

Staff is already able to block people, this site suggestion is just a way to make it easier for all users to block someone.
With most websites, if you want to block someone you can usually find this option by clicking on them or their profile and finding the option.

Currently on this website you have to open your PMs, locate the Block List, and manually type their name to add them to your list. This is simply a way to make it a 3 click process without having to type anything. Open profile, block this user, confirm.


Why? Have you had a situation where you were just so mad and butthurt that you had to block someone right at that insant?

Seems unnecessary

No system is perfect this seems to be a decent idea on the face of it, I would like to see more discussion and weighing of implications/ramifications ofc yes it would be a major issue in the event that every staff member blocked a particular user that's a hypothetical but it doesn't hurt to discuss them to see the full impact of the idea before it is implemented.

Nope, it's more of an ease of access thing. I think someone who is unfamiliar with the site might check a user's profile to block them first, before finding the correct location.

I have had issues with certain staff members at times. I lose friends for "no reason." The "Tagged" Community is not perfect just like every other person. As a Leader myself and everything I have pulled myself through in front of everyone or not, It's a bit disrespectful to see my ex Guild Members Join a Staff Guild and go for Trusted asap. Rather disrespectful in the respect that they removed me as a friend after I vouched for them to that Guild. Transparency is true here and IMHO you can see the lack of integrity by the OP for the sake of thinking the current blocking system directly location in PMs is better access by all users profiles across d2jsp.org.

Out of transparency here and of some of the general concerns I have mentioned, while getting pms regarding similar incidences happening to other Leaders today and the unfair challenges some of us face, I think it is fair to say if I don't say Yes here I may be Targeted for a Block List. That being said while the OP was previously a Guild Leader in which Him and I had problems when address his members activity poaching my Guild mates, we are no longer friends and I believe I am on his Block List.

Meanwhile I have Trusted and Med reach out to me regarding other members of my Guild, Regarding Trades, and more and have done good by those users, I certainly feel for those who are now afraid to post here and may also feel like Yes is the only option.

Plus, if I was introduced to this site while floating around Pauls profile, and it said block user on it, I would certainly know that blocking is part of the trade and reality of d2jsp.org. That is a Horrible way to build a foundation of fun, respect, excitement, and the secrets that blanket secrets after secrets.
