#### Name filtering for the update channel

I would appreciate it if you guys could make a name filter so I can find my other friends' updates.

- You do know you don't have to block people to avoid seeing them in your stream, right? You can simply unfriend... and it looks a lot less aggressively unfriendly, ironically.

- Well you shouldn't be able to block your friends then! and i had nothing against him in the first so why would i un-friend someone, i just wanted to filter him and unfilter him at an undetermined amount of time.

- I think, leaving aside this issue of blocking and appropriateness thereof, being able to filter your update stream would be helpful.
  Really though, if you had nothing against him and all you wanted to do was keep his updates out of your feed, you could have unfriended him. He would have no idea that you had done that; by blocking him you prevent him from contacting you, interacting with you, or entering your home street. It seems to me that you blocked someone for (what could be construed as) inadequate reasons; but then you complain when other people blocked you for what you believe to be inadequate reasons in turn.
  We don't get to decide for others what adequate reasons for blocking are.

- Ok, I'll step up to the plate and say that I. Was the person who was blocked.
  Did I think it was a big deal? I did at first, since something like that does draw people's curiosity, so I contacted a friend of of him that I knew that wouldn't be afraid of asking him the question... He said,"No comment." and then I was left confused to great misdeed I did. The person who contacted him said to me that I shouldn't worry about it, if I don't know the person too well. I left it that, and I didn't share it with anyone else... I didnt feel the need to be angry or upset. I only checked where you name was on the spice run, was lucky to find it on the edge and moved on. (he did not pout at the other person, and I didn't think about leaving a note in front of his old house...) no intention to slander you and why people block you is not related to my case, there have been other cases with different people that might help you understand...
  And I guess I agree with ScarBear and Djabriil said. Removing me would've worked just fine, since the wrong sentiment wouldn't have been delivered.. Overall, it's not big deal :)
  As for giving you a list of people to eventually block...that might cause more confusion. I know it is just a game and that we shouldnt always care why someone blocks us but we should not forget this: instagr.am/p/dC6vd/
  Thank you.

- In case I'm missing something, I don't think many people would notice if you had removed therefore reducing the fear of them contacting you.

- This is in ideas.... so sorry about that. I didn't notice, and typed out most of this on my IPod.
  I guess it's a good idea to have a temporary filter to help you out with things you need to see at the moment?

- +1 for Name filtering! Yes please.

- Okay well thanks for that rook. The update channel also has a short chat history to view everyone's updates (about 12-15 updates at a time), lengthening the chat history a little bit would be great.
