Suggestions

What it says on the tin. Basically, give pinglist creators the ability to kick users who have joined one of their pinglists off it?

As it currently stands, blocking users does not remove them from pinglists.

Ideally, I'd like there to be a way to simply remove users without having to block them, as sometimes, you don't necessary want them blocked, but just not on a certain pinglist. If not that, though, at least let blocking remove someone from a pinglist. There's no point in them staying on it, anyway: pinging someone you've blocked doesn't go through as far as I know, anyway.

Now, if pinglists ever become public (I sure hope they do!), there should be some nuance to this, hence why I suggest simply a button to remove someone rather than having to block to remove someone, or, if you set a pinglist to be used publically, to remove the ability to kick off users, so as not to disrupt other people's usage of it.

Uh, yeah, that's the gist of it. Add a way to remove people from pinglists. That's all.

[quote name="Osteoderm" date="2024-03-02 07:33:59" ] I’m fairly certain pinging someone you’ve blocked does go through, so support for removing blocked players from pinglists. [/quote] Pings not go though to someone you've blocked. I don't think...? I don't think I support this. People block for any number of reasons and, for example, someone may have a free art resource that anybody can still use, and the pinglist is updates on that. The blocked person could still easily find the thread and art. So removing them from the pinglist just seems mildly petty since it already doesn't do anything. And regardless of the reasons someone is blocked, they should be allowed to get whatever pings they want regardless of whether they can actually respond to that ping. The forums are still public, and that's the only thing you can ping to.

But I don't do a lot of pinglist pinging, so maybe I'm just missing it. If you're clearing a pinglist wholesale, how do people know they need to sign up again? They may never know they got dropped off the pinglist.

I don't really like blocking but I support this as I'd appreciate being able to remove skin flippers from my shop pinglist.

A pinglists owner being able to curate it somewhat would be useful regardless of whether blocked users get pinged or not, I think.

[/quote] If you received a ping from someone you blocked, you should file a ticket, since that shouldn't be happening. See the same quote I linked above!

Although if all it does is remove them, they can just add themselves right back if they're dogged enough.
