Blocking/Ignoring does not hide "Status Updates"

[Xuphor]

There's this really annoying person that linked his FB and GBATemp account that constantly updates his status on things that no one on GBATemp would have any clue what he's talking about. I blocked/ignored him on GBATemp, but it still shows the status updates for his every update to me. Can it be made where if you block a member, all their "Status Updates" get hidden as well?

I think the members of the forum need to have explained to them what trolling means before any adjustments are made to the Ignoring/Blocking function. Differing opinions does not warrant a block.

But the ignore isn't exclusively for trolls though
i just ignore people who i dont like, simply really.

That's what I'm against.

I feel like treating you like absolute shit until you have a mental breakdown and kill a small family.
Lets see how much you want an ignore button then.

Really, who people do or don't like is none of your business. If a person doesn't want to see someone's posts, why do you care? That's so stupid. It isn't your problem.
and, i'd like to add i wouldn't/don't use ignore functions. I just prefer treating people like crap instead...can't do that if I can't see their posts.

Thats a little weird and controlling if you ask me. I mean you kinda want to dictate that no one has the right to dislike/hate one other even if they get on your nerves so much?

Also if there were more than 15 or so blocks, the user gets a 20% warning. This would surely make the member wary of what nonsense he is doing.

Isn't that kinda pushing it?

I mean you already added them to your ignore list so they no longer bother you, I do agree that ignoring/blocking should do more than just forum posts and PM it should include status updates and blog as well because well you ignored/blocked them for a reason.

It isn't pushing. It is needed so that annoying people can be prohibited entry into such sites.
