Blocked people can't subscribe to blocker's workshop items.

[Gimli - Valravn]

I would like to see this option added to Steam's workshop as it would discourage trolling/unreasonable hating and encourage subscribers to give feedback, not to mention it would encourage everyone on a game to be more kind to each other to avoid missing out on a person's workshop items.

Please valve, do this for us.

Report said user(s) through their profile for harassment and do not engage with them.

I see no reason for it. They could still easily get the item in another way as well.

It would also be used by people to harass others or troll them. Make a popular mod, you now have the ability to threaten to block someone's access to said mod, for little to no reason.

they would need to buy the game again if they were to make another account or game share, either way it would give more control for the modders like you said threaten to block people for no reason which is up to the modders sanity.

And them downloading the mod does not effect you.

Blocking their ability to download mods would effect them beyond what is reasonable and beyond the point of harassment (eg: direct communication). It also could have an effect on servers as well as it may limit those who regularly play on them, if they can't get the mod as well as the server if you block the user who runs the server (depending on server structure). So the block would have consequences beyond just the user blocked.

If you don't want others to use the mod, make it private.

Ha! I don't even care for feedback.
And I am not blocking people either. Ha, ha. You think I would take away your freedom of speech? ROFL.
Who do you think you're dealing with here? LOL.

Blocking people... what do you take me for? The worst I would do is ignore you. Or block you for a little moment. But nothing as extreme as exclude you for all eternity.
I do report comments when I don't like them. But that's about it.

I do not like your idea. Anyway, that's just my opinion. It would give you too much power. You can always speak. That's no problem. Just not too loud. Ha, ha.

Your idea is like saying: Everyone is welcome, except you. That's just a terrible thing to do to someone. And it would cause trouble. Because, what if the someone you blocked has a friend, who is suddenly not welcome anymore either?
Nah. Bad idea. Everyone would simply get disconnected at some point. And that would be sad.

freedom of speech is not what im talking about, im talking about the consequences of freedom of speech.

[AustrAlien2010]

Everything could have consequences. But not the bloody death penalty. That's not right. It's better to take away someone's freedom, than kill them.

[Gimli - Valravn]

what the ♥♥♥♥ are you even talking about? where do you even see anyone mentioning death?

[AustrAlien2010]

I'm extrapolating your way of thinking. I know, I'm taking it to the extreme. But I think fast.

And the consequence is that they get blocked from communicating with your.

I see no reason why the ability to use the mod should be included, only it that doing so could cause larger issues.

take this for example, youre walking down the street giving people free cinnamon rolls because youre feeling kind today and someone comes passing by and yells "Oi! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! why dont you take your cinnamon rolls and shove them up your ass you stupid fxcking ♥♥♥♥ HAHAHAHA"

you're not going to give that person a cinnamon roll anymore let alone acknowledge them.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Everything posted publicly is for all users to view/use.

You can still choose to ignore them.

Except you aren't doing that. You gave the rolls to someone else to distribute for free, then someone disagreed with you two blocks away and now you want to exclude the person from something you already agreed can be freely distributed.

For games with server, you would also be (potentially) removing the server's ability to function. This may also cause a backlash against the modder as well, leading to more blocks and more issues.

You have the ability to make the mod private or friends only if you want some control over who can use it or not. The ability to block someone is not likely since, as I said earlier, it could cause larger issues.

no, you dont give the rolls to people so it may be given back under another persons name when youre the one who made those rolls thats against rules.

in the end with or without backlash (even server functionality), its all up to the modder to block certain people/groups or not and control who should be using it freely since the modder is giving it to people for free.

just like twitter, instagram, facebook when you block someone on there they wont just be able to communicate with you, they wont see your pictures, videos, stories, profile, group posts etc so just because a mod is more entertaining and enjoyable it becomes less controllable for the creator to ensure user satisfaction across all variety of people?! HELL NO, it must come with a greater responsibility from the users.

But this isn't twitter, instagram or facebook. This is Steam and things work differently here. Created content that has been uploaded publicly is for everyone to use. No matter how you feel about that person.
