How does a user block another user?

In this case they are sadly being harassed outside of our Discourse forum. They have set an “ignore” on the user who is harassing them. Yet, am I right in thinking that the user who is “ignored” can still see the posts of the user who set them to ignore.

Ideally this user can block the other user so they can’t interact or see any of their posts.

Currently the Ignore feature is what we have, though there is a Contribute > Feature request for a stronger version here that you could add your use case too:

True Block

I think we could benefit from a feature like this. They cant see your posts, you cant see theirs without an override, much like Twitter.

Thanks, @JammyDodger.

That’s a shame there’s no block feature.

I’ve added to the thread as suggested.

True Block

Adding a particular use case here. Trigger warning so adding a blur: They’ve used the ignore feature yet that isn’t enough of them to feel safe. They would like to know how they can feel safe by not allowing the bad actor to get “close” to them. It would make absolute sense if one user could block another. So that the blocked user has no way of seeing/interacting with the other user.
