Feedback XenForo's system when leaving PMs

[We Are The Witches]

So I know this is a XenForo thing, but when in a PM one of the participants leaves and chooses to "ignore future messages", they will be shown as them still participating in the PM, without notifying the other person.



Additional messages in that PM from the one that's staying will be posted, but they obviously won't reach the other party because they left, and the problem is that the former is not notified nor there's any indication of it.



Pretty sure it's the same in Kiwifarms, could it be possible as a feature to at least change the name's color of the participants that left, or to put it in a strikethrough, or to add a "(user left conversation)" next to their name?

yea xenforo sucks. i guess i could take time out of my life to write more custom modifications to specifically accommodate a bunch of users who absolutely, positively refuse to use a forum like a forum and instead want to use it like discord and cause continuous fucking problems for me.

I know what you mean, but this wasn't for the massive DM chains.

If I was talking to someone on here, and for some reason I want to leave that PM permanently (and maybe wait for new ones), I would not want the other person to still send me messages and not knowing that I'm no longer notified.

So they could take that as me not responding them on purpose, which is confusing and rude to them.

Not immediately, maybe 2 weeks passed by.

So then I leave and by week 3 they post something and expect me to still be in it. So a simple color change/strikethrough would easily solve it.

Is this why you aren't responding to my messages?

Yeah, I know.
But maybe I don't want a full page of PMs so I leave them, maybe it would be nice if in a conversation of several people (let's say 4 or 5, not a massive worthless PM chain) the participants knew who is actually in or just ignoring messages, etc.

It still offers no benefit to not have any indicator that a participant left. What's the benefit? Potentially having the other person to assume that you're avoiding them.

I posted this as feedback because I believe it would be a positive addition/modification in nearly all instances when this would happen. If you don't think is worth it, then OK, it's your forum, but that's my opinion.

What if I'm invited to another Goon DM group and someone screencaps all the members in it and claims "all these kiwiniggas are gooning together, what the sigma? " even though I already left their retarded group?

I've gotten plenty of DMs in my time on this web forum (the K-farms) and literally the only ones I have ever left have been the chainmail spam nigger shit where people invite 300 people in (and I leave those immediately)

Unless I'm just missing out on all the nubile women throwing me their cyber panties via DM then I'm guessing the use case for this is tremendously small. Most DMs are one on one or an investigation with like 5-6 people.

Especially now where DMs "expire" after a month it seems like it's even less of a problem.
