It's NOT censoring - just hiding them optionally for ANYONE that doesn't want to see their posts. "Hide ALL posts from this user."
They can still post, but now at least, everybody can dump their crap off their cache for other people who may actually have worthwhile perspectives. Some people are spam incarnate.
Uhh, thats literally what censoring is.
I mean ppl can still post swear words in ingame chat but for those with filter on, they wont see it.
Thus you're still censoring ppl.
No, dude, learn - censorship is keeping word from getting out - this is people muting people AFTER the fact of having already been infected/in contact or otherwise seen it. THEY decide for themselves once the have. The initial message is still going to be there.
In essence, be a dink - people will block your worthless posts, and by and by, if you have no legitimacy, you'll just basically censor yourself as you have noting of value to contribute. Of course, I say this as a generalized hypothetical explanation as how it'd work.

So if I was to forum block anyone, which I'm never likely to do, what's to stop anyone else quoting the said blocked person? It means I'd still see the posts.
Blocking is fine in theory but in practice very hard to implement. Yeah, that'd be the difficult bit. Then again, if someone quoted a player the "old fashioned way" by just copying and pasting text into the post, then there's nothing you can do.
I'd say if someone quoted, let it stay because you might need that quote for context of their reponse. If the quote is directed abuse to the ignored user, it could still be reported to Forum Help with the quote ID.
I'm not sure most people would quote anyone, based on the desire those posts be "hidden" from view. The entire premise is they hold no merit, so why would anyone else want to repeat them? I mean, typically they wouldn't. Sometimes, perhaps, but not usually. They'd typically be in agreement with "you" and not want to have read them themselves either. Hope that made sense.
