Conquer Club

• Cc users' control panels should allow them to choose to block or hide any or all of other users' avatars.

• Some avatars are vile, rude, headache-inducing, or simply not pleasing to the eye. Users should be given the option to hide selected users' avatars so that they don't have to look at them in the forums or on users' walls. I would choose to block eddie2's first.

• Makes Cc accessible to a more diverse population.
• Keeps selected users on longer.

I believe you're joshing me!

In all seriousness, I'm not for this. I may not like General Stoneham's avatar, for example, but it's not like blocking it makes it cease to exist. It's also not like that one montage is the only sexually demeaning image of women in this world. There's a whole family of Kardashian's I'd have to tackle to really make a difference in that arena.

I know I'm lofty, but I prefer to have conversations about why things are offensive rather than just ban stuff, with the exceptions of a few absolutely offensive images and words that have no place in polite society or cc. Every once in awhile someone will rethink their position-even me!

But this isn't about banning avatars. It's about making them so that you individually don't have to look at them...a far different thing.

Actually foeing someone "bans" people from joining a game that you are in... it doesn't ban them from playing you.
