Topic: Option to not accept trade requests

Deckbox is a great collection tool for organizing and cataloging. And, while some enjoy it for the trading platform it offers (like me), there are those who simply like to collect, catalog, and be left alone. These kinds of people ignore trade requests, sometimes to the annoyance of the party initiating a trade (I know I used to let this get to me back when I first started).

I believe it would be beneficial to have some sort of feature, apart from vacation status, that allows you to block people from opening a trade with you, though still allow you to initiate the trade. This would allow these people to go about their business, while those seeking to trade can move on to the next user without feeling like they're tying up their cards in a potential trade. In essence, I'm trying to come up with a solution for avoiding situations like this: https://deckbox.org/users/TKNODIABLOMTG/trades

For traders, being ignored can be frustrating. For those avoiding traders (I'm not one of them, so I can only assume), getting a trade request is annoying. Offering this feature would kill two birds with one stone.

Before I submit this as an official suggestion to Sebi, I figured I'd put this up for discussion first to get some feedback on how to best implement such a feature. Should the feature also allow you, as the trader, to have an automated "black list" of sorts, so your search results don't show up people you've determined don't respond to trade requests? What else might fix the issue of "person sees your trade but ignores you?" I'm looking more for tech fixes, rather than social etiquette discussions, as those who ignore traders won't follow such rules.

Thoughts?

I believe this is already implemented: "Edit Profile & Settings" > under "Trading Information" select "Will send", set to "Not Trading: I do not wish to trade".

Not sure if this is the default for new members, but it probably should be.

In addition to what is posted above me, wouldn't setting your profile to Vacation Mode also accomplish this?

It would, but I suspect it may seem too committal to some members who may think going into vacation status may bring about other, unforeseen changes to their accounts.

Oh, I didn't realize that.

Then that means these kinds of people don't realize it or don't care. Any thoughts on other possible solutions for active traders to be able to streamline the process of avoiding users notorious for ignoring trades? I realize this is as simple as doing one's due diligence and checking profiles/current and past trades/etc., but that uses up time. I would be convenient to be able to put people on a list so that they don't pop up in search results. These days, I find myself checking each person I potentially want to trade with against a list of 30 or so users on my "ignores my trade requests" list. It's a makeshift fix, but it makes what should be a 5-second process into a 20-30 second process for each person.

Thoughts on solutions built into the system?
