Just a quick question for anyone who knows for sure. If you've been blacklisted, can you still find the person who BL'd you in the player search function? I've heard some say yes and others say no. I just wondered if there's anyone who has tested this.

I would say no. Only because I'm pretty sure that is how the RMT spam people, using the player search function. So after you black list them you no longer get the spam from that name. Of course all they do is add a letter or what have you and there they are again.

If you've been blacklisted then chances are you wouldn't get along very well with that person anyway. Why spend energy looking them up in player search?

Unfortunately I can't offer confirmed data on the search function's... functionality, but in other contexts (namely PF), if someone is blacklisted, their entry is greyed out (or if they have blacklisted you, you cannot join their parties, etc). Essentially, they are still visible, but just cannot be interacted with.

Someone in my FC blacklisted a friend as a joke, when the friend would speak in FC chat, the person who blacklisted him could not see the words he was typing, like everyone else could.
I would assume if you are blacklisted, you can search them, but not message them. -
06-03-2015, 07:20 AMJacostaHey, I never said I was the one who's BL'd. I just want to make sure the person I BL'd can't find me instantly and teleport to where I'm at. I BL'd someone and it still seems like they are everywhere I am. That's why I need to know if they can still search for you and find you after being BL'd.Quote:

Well depends on the Situation, i guess...
You Blacklisted him/her/it, so no worries about their "bla..bla...bla..."
If you still get the Feeling they are following you -> Take some Screenshots, get Time and Date together, send a Report with ALL info's to Support, so that you won't get the "They are just playing the game"-Reaktion.
Just look if they are doing it like everyday they spot you (would be pretty much, stalkin'/harrassing)
or if they are only Meeting with their friends or FC-mates at that place (guess they have Buddys too, believe it), when it's like that you may be just a bit paranoid 'cause you're still upset about that Person or something else..? well I'm not you so i dunno. ;) -

You can still find people you blacklisted using the player search function.
If a person you have blacklisted puts up a PF, its line will be grayed out for you to know, and you cannot join it.
If you have been blacklisted by someone and try to join their PF, it will not be grayed out, but you still cannot join it if you try.
If a person you have blacklisted tries to join your party through PF, they will get an error message and won't be able to join. You also cannot invite them to your party. -

The blacklisted person can still ask his/her friends to look for you.
Or pay some shady investigators.
Or maybe his/her connections to keep an eye on you.
Watching your every movement and activities...
You know, when you feel like there's always someone's or something's watching you, when you're alone at your house?
That's kinda scary isn't it? :eek: :eek:
