I see this on the list for the next release (yay!). This is a small part of the "block user" functionality that has been requested, and everything is a good start. Will this be something included in he JomSocial migration tool to carry over from the locked user list in JomSocial?
Will future "block" restrictions leverage this same definition by user, or will that have to be applied separately? For example, when a user is blocked it should disable not just the feed, bu the ability to send messages, see the "About" information, etc. So when this further block ability is added, will it attach to the exisiting users people have hidden their feeds from?
