Ignoring Users
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
.. _module:ignore_users:
|
|
|
|
With all the communication through Matrix it may be desirable to ignore a
|
|
particular user for whatever reason. This module defines how clients and
|
|
servers can implement the ignoring of users.
|
|
|
|
Events
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
{{m_ignored_user_list_event}}
|
|
|
|
Client behaviour
|
|
----------------
|
|
To ignore a user, effectively blocking them, the client should add the target
|
|
user to the ``m.ignored_user_list`` event in their account data using
|
|
|/user/<user_id>/account_data/<type>|_. Once ignored, the client will no longer
|
|
receive events sent by that user, with the exception of state events. The client
|
|
should either hide previous content sent by the newly ignored user or perform
|
|
a new ``/sync`` with no previous token.
|
|
|
|
Invites to new rooms by ignored users will not be sent to the client. The server
|
|
may optionally reject the invite on behalf of the client.
|
|
|
|
State events will still be sent to the client, even if the user is ignored.
|
|
This is to ensure parts, such as the room name, do not appear different to the
|
|
user just because they ignored the sender.
|
|
|
|
To remove a user from the ignored users list, remove them from the account data
|
|
event. The server will resume sending events from the previously ignored user,
|
|
however it should not send events that were missed while the user was ignored.
|
|
To receive the events that were sent while the user was ignored the client
|
|
should perform a fresh sync. The client may also un-hide any events it previously
|
|
hid due to the user becoming ignored.
|
|
|
|
Server behaviour
|
|
----------------
|
|
Following an update of the ``m.ignored_user_list``, the sync API for all clients
|
|
should immediately start ignoring (or un-ignoring) the user. Clients are responsible
|
|
for determining if they should hide previously sent events or to start a new sync
|
|
stream.
|
|
|
|
Servers must still send state events sent by ignored users to clients.
|
|
|
|
Servers must not send room invites from ignored users to clients. Servers may
|
|
optionally decide to reject the invite, however.
