This is dumb.
I've been blocked plenty of times for no reason at all by groups of roleplayers.
Why? They don't want to see my character model because it's "in the way" or want to see my chat blocking their RP.
I don't intentionally sit in the middle of a RP's crowd and if I see one going on in the local chat I avoid using that chat. (Post cuts are annoying. I will never cut into other group's posts if I can help it.)
Even though I never "interrupt" a roleplay, I've been told that they're going to block me. What? I was only within chat range and not even using the same chat!
RP groups that do this will end up getting plenty of people banned.
I don't have a thing against RP, I'm also a RP'er, but if you use this system there's going to be a lot of unneeded bans.
This will only kill the community even more. (I've seen people say FH is doing fine, but it's not. There used to be way more people around.)
Look at how many are disagreeing with this too. Just don't do it.
I'll use a game I left years ago as an example; Animal Jam. (I out grew that game, but wow, I hated it. Only stayed around for the friends I had there.)
That game lets a chat bot moderate EVERYTHING. Sure, you're basing it off blocking and not the chat bot they have, but it will end up the same way. It banned people who did nothing wrong. (I even got banned just for saying "hi" to someone on AJ.)
"That's a chat bot. Not something banning people based on being blocked." As I said, it'll end up being the same way.
Roleplay groups who block everyone around them will get others unneeded bans. (Like the one I mentioned before.)
People who just want to be jerks will cause unneeded bans. (Groups and those who have way too many spare accounts.)
People who accidentally spam so everyone around them just blocks them.
People who used to be a pest but have gotten better, though they are still blocked.
Other people probably have more examples. But seriously, come on.
This is just dumb.
