"Ignore" Option Please

Game Suggestions Started Last reply 11 posts
There are a few SPAMMER, and annoying users in the game i wish to "Ignore" for the rest of my game playing days.

This option would be greatly appreciated.

And if it is there already, please tell me how to use it.
/block user
unfortunately you will still see them in shout and trade channels
i just dont' want to see them in the main channel 8)
there is an option to turn off all chat in those windows
im afraid thats as good as it gets
What the OP is asking for is /globalblock user which will ignore that player in all chat channels

So how about it?

So how about it?



nope

ill restate the options

/block user
stops person from pmming you or talking in general chat

turn off shout and trade
stops all chat except pm and local from being displayed in that window
But this is the suggestions board, so for asking for a better functionality of the /block command this is exactly the right place.

I do know the /block command and I do know that I can turn off the channels completely, but that is not what I want.

When I am watching TV and some moronic moderator is babbling nonsense, I sometimes turn off the sound. If the TV would only offer a way to turn off the TV as a whole, that would surely block the moderators voice, but it would not be, what I wanted in the first place.

I do agree with the OP and I too would like to see a /block version, that blocks all output of the user, safe for "say" maybe. Heck, in my old Alliance, I would have liked to block some off my own allies from seeing them on allychat, cause all they ever said, was bulls...eye (close, you get the picture).

Many many many suggestions posted here in these boards are "way off", but this one is relatively easy to implement and it is **** useful, so I do not see any reason not to support it.

I agree with Kitten - the perfect example for this is shout spam.

can make reading the shout channel difficult - the reason to block that person would be precisely so the rest of the shout channel can be read properly.

The commands that would in my opinion reasonably cover this would be:

/full(un)block [user] Blocks all messages from a user, except those received through a friendlist window.
/private(un)block [user] Blocks all messages from a user sent through private channels except the friendlist window.
/(un)block [user] Blocks all the user is saying in general, shout and trade channel. Directed messages are let through.

What the OP is asking for is /globalblock user which will ignore that player in all chat channels

So how about it?



/globalblock ftw - now just have to have that function added.
When a random idiot is having a civilised discussion with say oh you on shout, he'll say unplesant things and he won't stop because you want him to. The only current option is to take out the whole shout channel. This option is like cutting an arm off because you broke a nail. The nail hurts but you still need the arm. Thus idiot wins because you have to listen to him.
/signed!!!!

implent this and i bet it will be alot less spam in towns since ppl will be "affraid" to get blocked..
