Today, we're announcing one new feature along with a few changes to the most recently added ones.

First we have the Block List, a long-requested feature. When you Block a user, they will no longer see your topics or posts, including posts in which you are quoted, as if they were ignoring you. Remember, that this doesn't apply 100% of the time to posts in non-standard places, and that a user with multiple accounts will only be blocked on the ones you specify. For now, you can only Block users from the following URL (which you can manually access via My Friends in My Account), though we're looking into making it more easily accessible: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/user/blocked

Next, we're adding in the ability to disable ignoring quoted posts, a feature added in the most recent update. If you feel the new Ignore List features are a bit too powerful, you can now visit your Advanced Settings page and choose to show posts containing quotes from users you are ignoring. This change does not apply to users you are Blocking (or users who are Blocking you).

Finally, the beta WYSIWYG posting engine has had a few new updates. Highlight-to-Quote is back, and a dedicated Preview button is available. We're still investigating the possibility of nested quotes, but it's a bit complicated.

This is great. Theres this asshole that would follow me and everytime i expressed a negative opinion on an aspect of the game or a character, he would post a picture of a crying baby. I ignored him so its been much more peaceful but knowing now that he wont be able to still see my posts is even better.

I don't really like this. I'd never use the ignore feature and the idea that someone can force that on me feels wrong.

They really need to do something about alts after this, because this feature (while neat) is presumably going to create a new flood of them.

This actually sounds good. Some people here keep following you into every topic just to say something negative about you, instead of them ignoring you. It sounds better to just prevent them from seeing your topics or posts in the first place.

I guess the other question is, if someone you have blocked has the URL to a topic you made, can they still access it and just won't see your posts in it? If so then it seems trivial to get around.

Anyone who is going to do that probably has a bunch of accounts that presumably render this completely ineffective.

The point is that hopefully the user gets the message. If they keep creating alts just to keep trolling you, then they are a sad individual.

I'm talking the people like darkjedilink or southcoast who continually ruin any actual attempt at discussion by just making up whatever bullshit suits them on the spot.

It can be funny but some people post nothing but negativity towards you. It would be different if they responded normally as well.

Sweet. I like WYSIWYG but I couldn't highlight to quote on mobile. Only on desktop. Glad this works now. I plan on using it for good. It looks a lot cleaner.
