Do blacklisted people get a system message when trying to send you a tell, invite etc

http://i.imgur.com/xi3fEra.jpg

That's what I get when I try to send a /tell to someone I have blacklisted.

Will that person see any warning on screen (or in chat), similar to the one I get when sending a tell to someone on my Blacklist, to notice them I am on their blacklist?

I heard they only get a message if they try to send you a party invite.

Also, bonus question:

Do people get any message when I'm in /busy status, in the same way you get a "target is in duty and couldn't receive your tell"?

I've not yet had reason to test it out, but I really do hope it sends a message because some people, if they don't get the message that they're blacklisted and they think you're just ignoring them, it could just make the situation worse.

I've tried to tell people that are busy before and I've been alerted to that fact... I do not know if blacklisted people get notified for being blacklisted as I do not believe in have ever been blacklisted...

I've had someone ranting at me before when Im busy and wouldnt stop so I've put them on blacklist. 10 mins later I take them off and they're still going seemingly not noticing they were blacklisted.

Either it doesnt show a message or people that need to be blacklisted aren't paying attention to anything beyond what they have to say.

I heard it doesn't show a message to them... Which is pretty unfortunate indeed.

I believe the sender will get a message similar to messaging a player from a different server. A generic one that state something like this player cannot be reached. Don't remember exactly..

Oh, the same kind of message that shows when you try to add someone offline to your friendlist, or add to your blacklist someone from another server (using /blacklist name xxx yyy)?

I believe it plainly says "player not found".

Also, if I got someone blacklisted they can't find me via Player Search or see my /shouts /say etc IIRC

You do not get an error message for sending them a message, but if you try to send a friend request you will get an error that says "unable to send friend request"

Wish i could login atm, but im at work. Someone could just try it out with someone in their FC or in discord.

I tested this out with a friend.

If somebody puts you on blacklist you will NOT see anything, your message will go trough, the player that messaged you however will not receive you.
If you try to send a mail to a person that has blacklisted you you will get an error message, something along the lines of 'unable to send mail to player, attached gil and items successfully recovered'.
If you try to invite a person that has blacklisted you, you'll get a message saying 'unable to invite player'.

If you want to find out if somebody blacklisted you, just send a mail. If the mail goes trough you are not blacklisted, If the mail doesn't go trough you are blacklisted.


I'm not sure why you just don't get a message when trying to send a tell, I mean you can use the mail system to actually find out if somebody has blacklisted you so it's not because of privacy reasons.
Something else I would like to see is that if you blacklist somebody you will also get deleted of their friend list.

Well #serverlimitations probably

My Blacklist was so huge at one point. I went to go prune it a month ago and noticed a whole whack load of 'Unknowns'. I'm assuming those were deleted toons, though I wonder if one name changes does it circumvent the blacklist?

I find it amusing that someone who has you blacklisted won't see anything you say, but you can see anything they say. Even more amusing when both parties in question are both active hunters, so in other words, I get everything they relay, but they never see anything I relay...joke's on them.

Blacklisting is pretty much useless. The term itself is deceptive, giving people the illusion that it offers far more than it really does.
You have to be on friend list to even be a potential mail recipient, and blacklisting friends should only happen very infrequently. It would probably serve players better if we could just remove them from both flists instead.
It does not block you from DF matchups, or 3rd party PFs. They can't join your PFs, and you won't see anything in the char log by them, all of which are functionally useless band-aid remedies.

Yeah on Tibia system is better. When you send a tell on tibia for a person that ignored/blacklisted you appears the message ''Unable to send tell because that player have add you to the ignored list''. Also, if I'm not wrong but I think that if you have add a person on the blacklist you can't trade items with them on ff xiv. And they will receive some message if they are trying to trade with you too, like unable to trade something like this. Yeah the blacklist would be better if atleast appears a message when you go on the PF and says ''That party have a person that is on your blacklist'' this would avoid so many PF problems would be great. I also like the idea for we not being able to match on df people that we have add to the blacklist or the people that have blacklisted us.

As far as I can tell, none of their messages get through to you (so they can talk to a wall), and if you're in a linkshell with them, you don't see their messages. I do wish it would give them a message though, like "you have been blacklisted for being a piece of goobbue shite"

Ah well...

(Unable to retrieve) means the toon was either deleted or server jumped.

Name changing doesn't aid in circumventing anything. It will update the name on Blist, as well as anything else.

What Blacklisting needs to do is erase a player from existence on our clients. The issues with it now is that it's likely too much to process that beyond muting them.
