Two suggestions - Both relate to blocking

[Sola]

(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.

You should check to see whether a suggestion is already under discussion before posting. You are duplicating or presenting a variation of two ideas that have already been under discussion:

Hide groups or prioritize groups​

Noted. I don't read forums much. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll still keep this here though, especially since I pointed out how I'd want it to function (i.e. Having a 'Block group' button on the group's page).

I'm also maintaining my suggestion because of part two about letting users and groups see how many other users have blocked them.

Having a count is a variation on dpmynig's suggestion in the prior discussion.

Forking the discussion reduces the number of people offering and reading the best arguments and counter-arguments.
