(1) Ability to block a group.
Functionally, it should work in much the same way as blocking a user. Go to a group's page and hit the button "
Block group" Upon blocking a group, you no longer see releases by that group (they're hidden to you).
Good for people who dislike a group for whatever reason. Say that group has a habit of spoiling mangas by releasing ending chapters or skipping chapters, or they have garbage-tier translations, atrocious grammar because of an ESL proofreader, or you just plain don't like them, or any other reason or non-reason.
Giving users the ability to block a group will give the individual user more control over what type of content (and the quality of that content) they'd like to see.
(2) A separate suggestion also related to blocking: A number displayed showing how many users have blocked you.
Not publicly displayed. Visible only to an individual user when they're logged-in and viewing their own profile (or in some other location if you deem "Profile" to be a bad place for it).
Will show something like a red X icon in Stats which, when moused over would show "
Blocked by" and display the number of users blocking you.
To help illustrate the idea, here's an example image:
A way for groups to view their number. Viewable by anyone designated as a "member" of that group.
Would display (again privately,
not publicly) on the group's profile page a red X icon in Stats which, when moused over would show "
Blocked by" and display the number of users blocking your group. Viewable by group members (or perhaps only the Leader) when they're logged-in.
Example illustration:
Reason for suggestion: Could help users and groups decide whether they need to change something about themselves or how they operate in order to stop being blocked by so many users.
