[Pending Review] Suggestion: General - Hide blocked trades

When we block a user on outpost, their trades are not removed from the search results. It is very frustrating, you've already decided to offer, only to realize that you have previously blocked this user for some reason.

When we block a user, our search results should be filtered against our blocked users list.

I don't see the point though. Whats wrong with seeing their trades? If you block a user, that user can only see your trade, he/she can't do anything else. Can't post in your trade whatsoever. I don't see how is that frustrating at all, the person can't do anything in regards to your trade, can only see that is all.

Also, another thing to take note...One of the main points is that sometimes blocked users can see if the person who blocked them is breaking any Outpost rules or not, in that way, if the user is breaking any rules, the blocked user can report it. If this filtering were about to take place, this would end up benefiting people who often breaks Outpost rules.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Misunderstood what he meant.

I'm not talking about my trades so much, but theirs. They can see mine all they want, as long as they can't contact me i'm happy.

After reading your second paragraph,,I think you are misunderstanding my intent here. I've made a choice not to do business with them, I don't want to see their listings popping up when I'm looking for something. It's like getting mail from someone you have a restraining order against.

Your 3rd paragraph doesn't even makes sense.

it would be a simple matter to change the query to remove results from users that i've blocked. It would even be easy to have a boolean flag that could be set so users can include or exclude trades from blocked users in the results list.

Oh, I thought you meant something else. Sorry for the misunderstanding. My apologies.
