Suggestion: Blocking a User should prevent you from seeing their community posts
Title

Currently, if you block a user on steam you can still see the stuff they post in the community such as artworks, guides, screenshots, ect. They can even show up in the "most popular" or "all" feeds on the community home page.

This entirely undermines the point of blocking someone, because you can still see the things they post despite them being blocked.

Edit: Maybe add some options to blocking someone?

Like you can select how you block them using check boxes to apply certain filters.
eg there's a checkbox to remove all their screenshots & artworks from your feeds, and another to prevent them from sending messages to you, ect. You could go back an edit the checkboxes at any time.

Rather than the current all or nothing system we have

I like how the system currently is. You mostly blocked someone because you don't want to interact with the. Just because of that does not mean you don't want to see nice screenshots, artwork or a good guide they might have made.

That's okay. "Blocking" someone doesn't mean you get to pretend they don't exist. Just the direct interaction is axed.

In the unlikely event that some arsehole you've blocked has actually made quality contributions to the community, just have an option to show them, like there is for blocked forum posts, ignored games etc.

Blocking is to prevent interaction on the forums and not for any other reason.

Those you choose to block and remove communication with are entitled to post content across other parts of the community, artworks, guides etc.

This is not your personal playground to be used as a witchhunt especially when you go looking for content from them to ask for further blocking options.

How is it a witchhunt? OP wants to remove all traces of someone from their own personal Steam view. not to block people from posting on the forum.

I'm not sure we're reading the same post here.

"It must remain only applied to the forum."
But it's already more than this. Blocking prevents someone from adding you as a friend and writing on your profile, screenshots and any community content.

Because in order to see other content from said user you first search for it in the relevant areas or go to their profile to see what content they have contributed to so you can try to justify the inclusion of further blocking options.

Secondly blocking is applicable to the forums to stop flaming etc between two parties.

The "entitlement" generation where systems need to conform to their needs whilst lacking the self restraint to not interact or simply ignore.

Not necessarily. Any highly upvoted content will show up in the community section "most popular". Blocking anyone who posts meme gifs in the guide section does nothing to stop them from showing up again. Any forum thread will be visible as well regardless of popularity.

So should OP just forget about the popular community page or a dedicated game page and miss out on all the good things that might be there because of unwanted content posted by one or two people? That has nothing to do with self-restraint. OP has a right to not like some content and should be able to avoid it in their own view. I don't see anywhere where it says "prevent users from posting content because I said so". This is just an invented argument to paint OP in bad light.

And if those pages contain content from the blocked user, what then?

Blocking is about REMOVING communication in the forums and having the self-restraint not to communicate with the blocked user.

Blocking everything outside of that is "throwing the teddy out of the pram", simply because they cannot ignore, whilst oddly on YouTube they will dismiss recommended videos they have no interest in without batting an eye.

EDIT:

Exactly where have I posted about the removal of posts? I have been talking about the additional content the OP wants removing from their view.

Why did you snip? "Secondly blocking is applicable to the forums to stop flaming etc between two parties"

Was it so you could post "This is just an invented argument to paint OP in bad light".

The blocking system works exactly as it is designed on every other forum on the internet that I have ever been a member of, or heard of having a blocking system.

It's not designed for the other aspects, and it is extremely unlikely to ever change, and if it does change, it will be in Valve time.
It wasn't designed for the forum initially either, that's a relatively recent addition. And yet here we are. The entire point of the suggestions forum is that things can change from how they were originally designed.

Because completely changing how the blocking function works makes sense only if you want to abuse it and block people from doing anything.
The suggestion does absolutely nothing to "block people from doing anything". The person being blocked is able to continue doing whatever they want to do, the only thing being changed is that the person blocking them doesn't see it because they don't want to. Why would you be so against people not being shown things they don't want to see?

Because it is a discussion forum, not an affirmation forum and others can state differing opinions without having to agree to what another wants.

That's what I've been trying to say as well. No one will be affected other than OP seeing a bit less content that they never wanted to see in the first place.

That works both ways. I don't have to agree to your personal view of the blocking system and I can say that blocking doesn't go far enough.

To answer previous question:

No one is trying to stop them from posting content. That's what I meant.
Preventing from posting is not the same as removing already posted content either. Anyway neither of these are even being proposed so I don't know what the problem is.

Discussion forums work better if you read the posts you're replying to. For example, this is not a response to what I said, it's a response to a question like "why am I seeing disagreement on the forum?", which is not something anyone has asked.
