The purpose of this page is allow members to view the messages/threadsof users they have blocked. It is only possible to view old messages from the offending member. Any new messages sent from the offending member to the user will never reach the user after that member has been blocked.
Requirements
This page is initiated from the message center when a member is blocked by the user. Blocking can happen on a profile page or from within the message center. These requirements are outlined specifically for viewing a single flagged message thread. See the previous pages for more general message center details.
The Blocked Message
The message is displayed in its entirety with an offending marker attached to it. When a user is blocked their messages are tagged with the block icon however the messages are not removed from the message center unless the user speicifically removes it. In the message center inbox the blocked message is denoted by the Block icon (TBD - for now it's a NO symbol). Messages may be tagged with a flag and a block. So the user could flag the content and then block the user. When a user is blocked from within the message center that person is added to the blocked friends list in their manage pages area.
- Block Icon with Messaging - Displays a message that the user has blocked the user from communicating with her - actual messaging TBD
- Unblock Button - allows the user to unblock the offending member and start receiveing messages again. Doing this will remove the user from the blocked user list in the manage pages area and put them back on the friends list only if they were networked friends prior to the blockage. Otherwise, they go back to normal status. In either case, the blocked status is removed from all messages. However, if there was a flagged status on the message that may still be applicable and not removable.
