This is something that I've been pondering and I would like to know if people support it
Aside of blocked users not being able to see comments or threads or the like from you, I'd like them not being able to buy dragons from your page or from the auction house
I'd really hate it if a dragon I put for sale goes to someone who I obviously mind having them due to having a past disagreement with said user or the like.
This could also be used to block users that buy dragons, who then name them the same name and exalt them
I've had this happen where someone bought a couple of hatchlings from me and then named them Krii and exalted them. I felt like this was rather inappropriate for both the seller and people who might have wanted a dragon like those only to be snatched by someone who just names them the same thing and exalts them.
Same going for people who buy dragons only to sell them for double, even triple the original price. I for example priced some dragons for cheap so people could get some decent gened dragons to start out with, and then they ended up being bought by someone who put it up on the auction house for over double the original price. In my opinion, while obviously this is the way people make their treasure, it's really just robbing the chance of having a cheap but nice dragon for the more recent users that just joined who don't know yet how to properly work the forums (it took me roughly a month or two before understanding the forums, and I'm not the only one who it among this)
Well, let me know if anyone supports this or not. I myself would prefer something like this, but I can understand if people are against it
EDIT: This thing right here above, but toggable so people can decide for themselves if they want to block their lair and hatchlings from the people they blocked or not.

I don't see that as heavy abuse. One user hates his/her dragons being resold, so blocks resellers--S/he'd have to do this individually, probably after encountering each one and seeing each reseller marking up dragons. So the resellers move on to other users and buy from them. I doubt a single reseller would be blocked by enough users to damage profits; there's thousands of people on FR after all.
At the least, maybe a sliding scale of how much you want a user to be blocked? Lower level just blocks posts, somewhere in the middle blocks profiles, and higher end blocks sales?

I say if this can be turned on/off then it's a good idea. Some people do block others for serious reasons, so Blocking should have other effects than just not being able to see their posts.
