Mute/Block Communications Option

[Casimus]

Not sure if this is viable, would it be possible to have an option where you can permanently mute certain members ie, not be able to read what they say in chat, receive messages from them or even read their forum posts?

I'm sure it works both ways but I would love this option if it is possible.

Its very easy to say "ignore them" but that's very very hard in some cases.

There is a friends/foes list on the forums that you can add users to.

For the lobby, SpinDrah once created a lobby theme that set certain member's text to the same color as the background, rendering whatever they wrote as invisible.

If you connect to chat via IRC, your IRC app may have something like this built in as well.

I can see add friends option but not foes, and what is the benefit of adding a foe, do they vanish from sight??

You can see where they post but not what they post.

An answere with "Yes" or "No" would really help alot Yeah it's possible in the forums and directly via IRC but why the hell we would logon there if we're able to chat trough FAF?

We need the ability to add players to a personal blacklist.Players on this list should be muted to you, auto kicked from games you host and it should warn you when they join a game you are in. Also you should be able to write why they are on there as reminder.

This blacklist would rely on UID instead of name so changing name would not be an issue like it is now.

This kind of feature would be heavily abused, and I can't see it being helpful even when used as described, it just encourages people to hold grudges.

I do hate it in phantom games though where there is that one idiot who starts attacking at 5 mins in, swearing at everyone calling them noob ect and just generally wrecking game. Then when they die they observe and keep on lagging out and refuse to leave. Also they change name every few weeks.
