There are some players who aren't exactly spamming by conventional definitions but are irritating nonetheless. I tried blocking one such person but found that it doesn't block local chat. However I don't actually want to block the person, I'd prefer the ability to just filter out their local chat
So I'd like to propose two things:
1) Blocking a user should block all communication, including local chat.
2) Ability to ignore a player in local chat -- perhaps it could reset as soon as either of us left the street.
