RE: [Steemwatch] Do Not Send Notifications Related to Muted Users
My biggest concern we have right now is that we have zero way to completely block another user if we choose to, for example Bob blocks Alice and Alice feels it's a perfectly proper reason to send messages via transfer comments to directly harass Bob after being asked not to and subsequently muted. I foresee that causing issues in the future beyond the fact that it already annoys the piss out of me to get those solicitation messages. Shrug ... Any thoughts on how to address that?
Probably just hide any data sent from a muted user for the person logged into the frontend. Just cause you don't like seeing it, it still has to be on the chain.
So it would be the duty of the frontend to hide it I believe.
My thoughts are that if we are capable of encrypting and hiding messages so that it's not public knowledge... couldn't we just do that by default for all messages?
Not sure how encrypted messages would solve the muting issue ?
Well I agree that the issue you are originally referring to in the post is pretty much going to have to be a front end fix, but the transfer messages could be an account level setting couldn't they? Like submit a pull request to make all messages encrypted and require active key sign in or perhaps have the ability as an account setting that can be manually disabled on a per account basis? I'm not trying to hijack the topic, I just think they are similar issues in the sense that they both relate to undesirable messages being received.
edit I guess it could cause further complications with exchanges though... maybe that wouldn't be such a simple fix.
