• User B
• User C

In a chat room with User A, User B, and possible more more User A can read all messages of User B.

Post-Condition

The same chat room with the same visitors, but User A doesn't see any post of User B. Also in other chat rooms with both users User A doesn't see any post of User B.

Flow

• User A selects account of User B.
• Menu with multiple options is display, one of those is Block ....
• After selecting Block ... and confirming a security question posts of User B aren't visible anymore to User A.

Remarks

• Question: How to remove this blocking? Is User B still visible in the list of chat participants and can be selected to open a menu like for blocking? Or does the chat room menu an option to list all blocked users and those can be unblocked there?
• Question: How is quoting, mentioning, or forwarding of User B messages by User C handled? Are those visible to User A?
