Feedback and suggestions

I doubt these changes will get implemented but I thought it was worth chiming in my own suggestions anyways.

- Not see blocked user's comments and PFP.

- Blocked people are unable to comment on your own posts. I think there should be some exceptions though like pinned threads or mod's announcements.

- Not see quoted responses that have the blocked persons' comments. This is in par with the first suggestion.

- Not see their threads.

hey look, you got what you wanted!

also, seriously, thank you @FFteam

I also want to say thank you. This is a huge step forward in the right direction

Another one is People that have blocked you cannot follow you, since that makes no sense

Hi folks,

We did post a notification about this change around a week ago when this forum thread was created, so not entirely sure whether the recent comments are in response to that announcement. Either way I wanted to explain exactly how the block feature works.

We’ve been working on improving the block feature since the beginning of December 2025, and it’s been part of our work schedule roadmap for even longer. These changes are based both on planned improvements and on feedback we’ve received from users.

I just want to quickly explain how the block feature worked historically, and what’s changed with the new improvements.

Historically, blocking a user meant:

* Automatically removed from following you (if they were a follower)

* Unable to message you directly on the site

* Reversing a block was done by removing the user from your block list.

These behaviours are still in place.

What’s changed?

* Profile Privacy
Blocked users can no longer see your profile. If they try to access it—whether from a forum post, chat, or other areas—they will see a notification informing them that they do not have permission to view your profile. This means they cannot:

- View any profile details

- Message you directly

- See your pictures, videos, or stories

- Comment on your shout/activity feed or on your content

* Content Privacy
All content you upload is added to the site listing pages and galleries as thumbnail images. However no thumbnails will appear for blocked users, so they won’t see any content uploads or be able to access or comment on any of your content.

* Mutual blocking effect
When you block someone, you will also no longer see their profile and content.

* Applies to all existing blocks
These improvements apply immediately to all current blocks — no action is required.

Please note that social areas such as forum threads and chat have not been included in these block feature improvements, as applying blocks there has proven more complex. That said, it doesn’t mean we won’t revisit these areas in the future. We are always improving the site and work on different areas on a rotating schedule to ensure it remains functional, safe, and continually enhanced.

As always, thank you for your feedback. We’ll continue listening and making improvements where they matter most for you.

Take care,
