i can get behind blocked users not being able to see your profile, but i don't think it's fair to remove the ability of other players to interact with the site as a whole. that includes the forums and especially the custom apparel shop. if some people don't like a user that user should still have the same game experience as everyone else, and the forums are a public place.

they definitely shouldn't be able to ping you though (or rather, the ping shouldn't go through) that feels like a massive oversight

To Clarify! I'm in support of a healthier block system. A user shouldn't be able to ping you. It should function as the Discord block function does where they can look like they've pinged you, but you don't receive a ping.

With Custom Apparel, you can't really hold up a public blacklist, and you cannot control what other people do with things they have bought and eventually the art could make it to them the long way around. It would be WILD and disheartening to learn a user has blocked you, for whatever reason, due to someone else's good will of a gift.

I would also be okay with someone who I've blocked not being able to see my profile. Can't block replies in the forums though. The forums ARE public to the site. It'd be like trying to remove someone you had an argument with from the public park that everyone could go to.

Support for better blocking. Profiles/wolves being blocked, FM sales being blocked, and especially pings being blocked when someone does a block are all needed. I like certain forum sections being blocked too (basically anything not sales or guides) since when I block people it's for bigger things and I don't want to see them at all, but that tends to be disliked as a whole so that's not gonna happen.

Slightly unrelated, but with CAs, people reselling for way higher prices can be fixed if the MS price of the apparel are put in the tooltips/descriptions. I feel like that should happen anyways.

on the topic of ca reselling, i've never seen ca resold for more ms, i've seen ca resold for the same price or a discount because you can't list it on the fm
