Blocking on forums as well as in game.

So I've blocked more than a few people in game over the months for spewing crap that I find personally offensive. I'd love it if doing so would also render their posts here invisible to me as well since occasionally they spew their pablum here as well.

  • If that would be a coding nightmare, perhaps the name could be at the top of a comment post so that we can choose not to read that particular comment?

  • Yeah, I'm considering making a greasemonkey script that would read the poster name and replace all the text of the post with " ". At least that way you wouldn't have to see the posts themselves.

  • fauxfire, I'm sure you can come up with better filler than " "!  How about inserting lines from Twilight books, Rush lyrics, bible quotes or muffin recipes?

  • It's actually not a programming issue as one of broken threads. (the code is as simple as 

    unless @some_user.blocked?
      <%= some_msg_post.by_some_user %>
    <% end %>

    inside the do loop that presents the messages)

    If someone posts to a thread and it is responded to, then you'd never know what was said. 

    But blocking someone from seeing your (OP) forum post is another matter and sorta calls into question the openness of glitch, since a blocked user would then be blocked from participation in a global thread...
