Did anyone happen to come up with a solution for this? My users are much the same as OP. They came from an old forum, where they were able to block another user, which completely hid the blocked user from their experience (ie, no threads visible, no posts visible, quoted posts not visible, no PM ability, etc). It was a true out of sight, out of mind experience for them.
It's been a long time since I've seen that complete of a user to user block function on a forum, so I'm skeptical it's possible, or popular enough for it to be developed. However, an enhanced foe list where at least the blocked user can't PM the user who blocked them, and an improvement on the hidden posts/replied to posts would be an acceptable solution for them at this point. While these people have largely all posted together for decades, they fight like siblings at times and the ability to give each other personal time outs has been pretty invaluable over the years.
I'm pretty new to all this, but I've tried searching forums and extensions without much luck. Results always tend to give info on admin level blocking of users, rather than user to user block functionality. This is the first thread I've seen discussing exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for any help. I'll keep looking in the meantime.
