search-blocking vs. blocking

Hey, I love this site but haven't read the forums much, so if this has already been addressed somewhere please let me know!

My question/request is, is there a way to mark a profile somehow (preferably not in a way that person gets a notice) to make it not show up in your search results only? But no other things that happen when you block someone? I would find this really useful to save time on searches but really would hate to go around perma-blocking people I don't know at all. (I guess this might be an additional search flag you could turn off an on?)

    Blocking prevents them from messaging you and you from messaging them. You can still see each other's posts in the forums and you can still view their profile.

    I add notes to people's profiles to help me remember things about them - but of course you have to view the profile to see the note 😅

    @cuddlefaery - You can't view their profile if they block you. A message appears saying that you've been blocked when you click on their profile.

    Edit: that also applies if you block the person. A message will appear saying that you blocked them and will not allow you to view their profile until you unblock them.

    @lokisama Just block them. People block here all the time for reasons other than actually wanting to block someone. The longer you're here the more evident that becomes.

    @Mike403 maybe I had a glitch then, because I was still able to view some people I've blocked if I clicked on them from the forums. 🤔 It was quite awhile ago though and all of them have since been banned so I don't have a way to test it 😅
