I feel that the thumbs down option is wholly insufficient. There should be an option to block all communication from some players, including forum posts and replies.

The forums are almost completely distinct from the rest of BGA but you can block people here. You just have to do it in addition to red thumbing.

That option is not effective either. I've already tried that and from the look of it, it does not prevent my content from appearing in other peoples' view, and their replies are visible in quoted replies from other members. Appreciate the thought, but this suggestion does not effectively do much.

That only makes sense. You can't request that other people can't see your posts, this is a free country. And if someone quotes them, you didn't block that person, only the person they are quoting, so it's normal you'd be able to see their reply.

The way it works is sufficient enough for most people. Why would you be so obsessed with someone that not only you don't want to see them, but you also want to control what they can see and interact with?
