After speaking with another user, I learned that ignoring someone does not block them from posting on your profile. A way to block a specific, troublesome person would be much better than having to block EVERYONE, and follow the people you want to allow. What do you guys think? Would this be a good / useful feature? I've never had the need for it myself, but I still think it should be a thing.

Only the people I follow (in short, that I approve) will be able to post messages. They can still see my page though.

Right, but as I said in the OP, that is a bad way to be forced to handle it. You shouldn't have to remove public posting from other users because of one or two annoying people.

That's why I follow a lot of people :P
But I do get you point. Ignored users shouldn't be able to post in your page.

Options like these cost money especially when it’s custom work, good luck with that.

It's options like this us Patreons pay for.
I hardly see why this should be Patrons only. That only requires additional site coding, and I do believe it is possible to implement for everyone.

Us Patreons are donating money to the site.
Problem solved.

It's not nothing to do with exclusivity, it's just a simple matter of truth.

Although no one I ignore has popped up on my profile. I still won't mind being able to completely ignore them.
I am personally not a big fan of closing off my profile and I personally won't want to close people off when it's only a few people I don't want to deal with.

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much

    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.
