Maybe I’m missing something – but it appears you can either only opt out of PMs entirely or block a person entirely – is there any functionality that’ll allow a member to block another member just from sending them PMs, but allow them to still see posts from this member on the forum?

As far as I am aware the ‘adversary’ processing does this but I will need to confirm that with @mr-papa who should be along later.

yellow-swordfish is correct… the adversaries component of private messaging plugin will let you block them from sending you a pm (and you to them) as well as optionally, hiding any forum posts from them…

are you saying this is not working?

No I was just under the impression that it was an all or nothing feature. I.E. if you set someone as an adversary they would be blocked from both PMs and invisible on the forum. I now understand that this feature does do both things. Thanks!

Glad we could help and that things are working as expected!
