It has come to my attention that there is still an issue regarding blocking people- and still being visible to the person they blocked while in public rooms that are not your own. It's even worse that they can still whisper you while in said public room, even though you have blocked them. This is causing risk of stalkers, abusers, and predators to still have access to your whereabouts and can even cause more harassment. I have been a vet for 19 years, and this is still an issue which has caused me to go on long hiatuses for months to YEARS to look out for my own safety- and I can imagine I am not the only one who has faced enough concern that it made them leave the game all together. What you are left with are the stalkers, abusers, trolls, and predators who will stick to the game bec in a sense, its like they've marked their territory. The community and energy of the rooms have gotten worse due to actually kind, and caring social people leaving the game to seek something that isn't toxic. Something needs to be done about this- or you will only get a bad rep for holding space for horrible people rather than good.

I havent tried blocking public rooms or anything, just people who i can still see in public rooms, i think there should be a way to block them entirely even if they are in the same room- the person you block really shouldnt be able to see you. Which is my main problem with this app STILL after all these years they still haven't gone into their coding to change things, i think 21 years is enough time to figure that out.
