I'm sure this has already been suggested, and of course I have already told this to staff, blah blah blah, but I want to put it on here.
The server needs /ignore commands!
It doesn't have to be complicated. Three commands would be sufficient:
/ignore (player name)
/unignore (player name)
/ignore list (numbered pages if needed; ex. 1,2,3...)
Maybe even a /ignore help for those strugglers out there.
I have never been someone to ignore someone wanting an argument or trolling, but as the years have gone by on this block game and others that are very susceptible to trolling, not many chat filters, etc., it gets to a point where I don't care what some crusty peasant thinks about me, and I'd rather just forcefully ignore them rather than watch what they're saying and having an extreme compulsion to reply and start/continue a social-justice-thirsty e-fight.
On some games or other servers I've played, if you /ignore someone they can still see your comments in chat and reply to them, continuing to go at you but you obviously don't see it and have no way of defending yourself anymore. Some people wouldn't care, but others, like me, obviously don't want people talking when I can't see what the other person is saying. It's just a one-sided thing then, sort of like being friend-zoned.
Being friend-zoned is bad.
Don't be friend-zoned.
Therefore, when you do /ignore (player name), the person who was ignored should not be able to see the other person's messages either. That way conflict will be completely cut off for both sides, and people will only ignore someone if it's a good enough reason they want to cut off ties completely with another player.
I say (more like type) this because I know that kids often /ignore someone when they get salty so it's a one-way relationship-- basically enabling them the ability to be petty and spout off smart*** remarks (or a smart*** attitude).
For example: "haha you can't see my messages but I can see yours, sucker!"
Just ugh. Seen it happen, had it done to me, and tbh I've done it too when I was like 12.
Oh, and neither players should be able to tab-name each other. If you don't know what tab-naming is (as I'm calling it): you start typing in letters and press tab, and people's names will pop up if their names start with the letters you typed.
I'm very original.
