In your 'inbox' there is already a link 'block user'. We have plans to add this link in more places, so that you can block a user without having interacted with them.

what might also be useful is some kind of 'hide-from' - if i don't want a specific user to see any of my posts/comments, because harassment, trolling or whatever. admins and mods of the relevant sub excepted ofc.

otoh, this could be misused in some way, to spread gossip about someone for example and might contribute to the forming of cliques. so i am not sure

IMO, keeping this an open transparent forum is a priority.

On one hand there is extra noise.

On the other hand, much worse.

i mean there are private, invite-only subs, there is private messaging, and it's not abused (ime) so i think it's still a good idea. people love and deserve options.

True. I love options. You had me at options.
