Privacy settings -- Blocking and dealing with bullying
Hello,
Is there any way new privacy settings could be added to the blocking feature? As it is right now, blocking someone stops them from messaging you a blocked messages notification you can open in servers.
However, in servers this isn't entirely useful since you will still end up seeing it and they can still get to your info like profile picture, status, etc.
My idea to solve this
Initial users being the party initiating the block.
Blocked users being the party receiving the block.
- Hide profile info of the initial user from the blocked user (Picture, status, user info, and related servers/friends) except of the Username#1234
-- If you block someone, you don't want them to follow up with you or target your linked accounts, although privacy levels for this setting could be useful too so you can still block someone without alerting them
- Add a privacy setting to disable opening the "blocked message"
-- A notification is still useful to avoid confusion, but sometimes being unable to open the message would be better for your own good
- (Optional) Add a privacy setting to hide blocked users from appearing in the initial user's members list
-- While the other two options are more than enough, this could be useful because while one might say just leave the server, having one person ruin this hangout spot for you and your friends can suck. Out of sight, out of mind
This would be an amazing feature if at the very least the first one on that list can get added. I still see people being bullied and getting insulted by some attention hungry people over their status, continuing to harass them in every way they still can. It might not be much, but at least I know it can help reduce bullying and make people feel safer.
Thank you,
Jaq
