Blacklist: How do I know if I'm blacklisted by someone else?

Basically title.

How do I know if I am being blacklisted by someone else when I send a message?

Will I get a system message in response stating something like: 'unable to send message'? Or something to that effect?

I tried searching this through google or reddit, but kept getting the same generic 'how to blacklist people' and couldn't find an answer to this question. I am well aware that a person no longer sees messages from people who is blacklisted, but how does the blacklisted person know their message won't be read?

Thank you for any help.

They simply won't know for sure unless informed.

To the perspective of the blacklisted, it just seemed like they've been flat ignored.

You know you are blacklisted if you cannot join their PF.

I instant blacklist anyone if I cannot join their PF. It's happened several times in my 9 years of playing. If they would blacklist me and I find out about it, it's definitely going to become mutual.

Thank you for the responses.

I feel like there needs to be something in place to inform me that I can't send a message to recipient because I am blacklisted. That way I don't waste time trying to contact them.
But I'll take the cold shoulder / non response as a good reason to stop attempting communication. In my case it was a former FC member I wasn't sure if they wanted to remain on friend's list or not.

It could be any number of reasons. AFK, didn't see it due to all the other system messages, in a duty, disconnected while AFK and didn't get back in time to see it, too busy, tabbed out watching Netflix.

Multiple attempts over a period of time might help to be more certain. If you know for sure they are present (for example they run past you) or this behaviour is abnormal for them from what you previously experienced, then you can probably assume they blacklisted.

Personally, if one attempt doesn't work for me I'd be unlikely to try again regardless of if they blacklisted but that's just how I am.

I just blacklist MTX sellers every time in public chat with that accursed website link promising people gil nothing warrants the list like that.

This is not always the case and seemingly can be affected by being in instanced areas like the Island Sanctuary, housing, etc under certain weird circumstances because I've run into multiple PFs that were giving the "unable to join" message, but after leaving the mentioned areas I was able to join as normal.

send them a friend request, send them mail. try to trade them. all these ways can confirm if you've been blacklisted

they could be afk. they could have chat off. they could be not responding. just try and trade them and then you will know. also if they were on your friendlist, check if you can tp to there estate. if you cant they've removed you

Maybe you should try it. Ask a friend, who can blacklist you. Then send him messages, trade items with him etc. And see what happens.




Cheers

Oh right...

check their plates, if its restricted for you, but not say, an alt, your BL'd.

Like the other suggestions above, can also check to see if your allowed to leave housebook messages. If not, no go.

There are... ways around being BL'd, but I'll leave that to your research and imagination.

You can teleport to someone's locked estate. You just can't enter it. I have a friend who keeps hers locked and I can port there and go hang out in her yard until she's there.

I'm guessing you're nitpicking at my choice of words allow me to correct it then. You can disable teleports and still have your house open/closed.

As for FC, when I tested, FC members can TP even when the guest TP is disabled, but you can prevent them from entering the FC house with FC permissions. Housing[1] - Estate Hall Access, if you try to enter the FC house, it'll tell you that you're not authorized to enter this estate hall. I haven't found anything that disables FC member teleports. A strange option surely.

Tenants and FC members can enter FC/houses even if they're locked.

So yeah... I guess everytime I wanted some alone time and turned off the guest TP/locked my house/FC = I blocked everyone on my list by that logic?

I've only come across it when failing to join a PF.
Checking an adventurers plate is usually an easy way to confirm it after you suspect it.

There was this one sprout in NN who blacklisted a bunch of mentors and then proceeded to continue to ask for help for things and was given the answers but couldn't see them.
That was an entertaining couple of weeks.

I wasn't nitpicking anything. The person they were responding to said that if you couldn't teleport to someone's house on your friendslist that means you were blacklisted. Instead of clarifying like you did with that last line, you mentioned someone locking their house when the poster said they could use that information to clean up their friend's list and I mentioned that I was able to teleport to someone with a locked house, which again, is all you mentioned. Don't blame me because you weren't clear in what you were explaining.

Well, the Yokai Watch event has gotten a lot of people hating on each other (especially towards Blue Mages), and blacklisting some people is almost inevitable if you play enough PVP, lol.

To be honest, why does it matter?

If someone ignores you, just leave them alone. Blacklist or not, the message is clear.
