So if I add people who are currently on the server to my block list, then reconnect, it will kick them if it's set to "4"? Or on option 2/3, I go add a player to my blocklist before they are fully connected to server, thus kicking them once they are fully connected? Sounds like an easy to abuse feature, unless I am completely misunderstanding it. In my opinion it's bad for "admin stuff" like kicks to be applied to a player, other than a server group vote. Getting kicked from some well-meaning servers automatically because someone decided to block someone else for no apparent reason is just bad. Perhaps it'd be a viable and more "safe" option to have the server automatically ignore/mute chat from a user being recieved by a user if they're on their blocklist? This way anyone who blocks someone for something such as harassment would not be able to harass them anymore, and they wouldn't be kicked from servers simply because someone on there blocked them. Basically, it'd just be a local mute so the person could still talk on the server, but only the one who chose to block that user wouldn't be able to see or hear any of it. Please correct me if any of these interpretations are wrong.
