So, I made the unpleasant discovery the other day that you can recieve Private Trades from users on your block list.

You can't accept or buyout the trade (because they're blocked), but I feel this could still be a method of block evasion. Trades allow users to include some messages, for the purpose of explaining what you want. However, these could also easily be used to harass the user on the recieving end.

To boot, if not cancelled the trades only last two days: I don't know if staff have access to trades no longer in the system, but I fear this could be a great way to say some really nasty things and leave little to no evidence behind. (Though if cancelled and expired trade records are kept, this is a moot point)

As for the block-ee, well. If their intentions with the trade were genuine, and they did not know they were blocked, it saves them the confusion of waiting around for their trade to be bought out when it never will be. Then can move on and trade the contents to someone else, instead of wondering why the other user isn't participating in the trade.

Implementing a simple 'this user has you blocked, you cannot send them a private trade', similar to what is in place for messages, would be enough, in my eyes.

If there are any possible loopholes or downsides I missed, please post! I'd love to hear how this could be improved if implemented. <3

I definitely didn't know this was possible. The 'what is wanted in return' comment section in particular seems like a problem waiting to happen, so big support for this!

Yeah LMAO, someone sent me a private trade after I'd declined the first, told them to leave me alone and blocked them. The message included was more of a guilt trip attempt than anything really bad, but it made me think that someone more malicious could definitely go a step further.

100% support, there definitely shouldn't be any loopholes regarding blocks. If you block someone, they shouldn't be able to contact you or interact w/ you in any way.

I think if someone does this and leaves a rude message, you should report/screenshot and send it in immediately.

But, this also shouldnt be a feature and should probably be eradicated from the site entirely, as, yes, it is block evasion.

And the user who sends you a private trade cant communicate with you, so im not sure why they would attempt to send one anyway?
