You control the buttons you press.

I'd rather see it other way around, if you block someone they can't see your posts/topics

I see your point. Either would work, but I'd still rather not see anything from those blocked posters again.

both would be good.
a block should stop you seeing them, and them seeing you.

i would not use it

but if that is what you want i am all for it if it can feasibly be done

how would quotes be handled and all that

it would make for a weird experience in some threads if it worked, though

Agree, all content generated by blocked people should be directly hidden. And they shouldn't be able to see you either.

This would be ideal in my book.

And that would lead to users abusing that to prevent others from being able to participate in the forums.

Block someone and then post in all threads to prevent that user from being able to post in any threads.

Simply have the self control to not hit the "SHOW" button that appears on blocked users posts/threads.

I believe that, in this scenario, the blocked users will not be able to see the person(s) who've blocked them or any threads they've created. Otherwise, they can participate 'til the cows come home.

That said, it's not about 'self-control.' It's about not having certain people pester you when they figure out you've blocked them. Lack of self-control usually stems from an individual who is blocked. Some people are vengeful when you don't give them the attention they crave. So, I'd like to remove those people from my Steam experience.

Harsh, perhaps, but honest.

And? For example, If I wanted you to not be able to talk in my threads, that's my decision, not yours. It's not about "self-control", it looks ugly to see all the "Topic by blocked user" all the time and not actual threads.

Agreed.

It's not your decision at all, because once you post the thread, it becomes public for everyone.

Valve doesn't want echo chambers here, neither do most people.

The most sensible improvement to the current block system would be for quoted replies of blocked users to not show at all and for there to be no option to show the message from a blocked user.

There is no reason for them to not be allowed to comment on threads you make, because they may not replying to you, but still discussing the topic with others.

If you want 2 way blocking go use a platform that do it.

There is a suggestion forum for a reason. What's with all this shade? If you dislike the idea? Fine. There's no need to be rude, too.

Unless the suggestion hits too close to home.

that is when you start your own group

or blog

or keep it to your profile

the boards here are not yours and neither are the threads

Again, no one says people can't participate. But if the person has you blocked, they don't want you to participate with them.

I don't believe that's too much of an ask.

In fact, if the suggestion is used, they won't even know they're missing out.
