Hello VRChat Team,

I hope this message finds you well!

Recently, several community members have approached me with concerns about privacy and control over their shared content in VRChat. Many of these individuals were uncomfortable voicing their concerns directly on the forums, so I’m bringing this to your attention on their behalf.

The primary concern is the need for a feature that ensures any shared pictures, emojis, and other content are no longer accessible to users who have been blocked. This would address privacy issues and prevent misuse or continued access by blocked individuals.

Request Overview:
I propose the development of a feature that automatically revokes access to all shared pictures, emojis, and other content when a user blocks someone. This enhancement would safeguard the privacy of the content owner and mitigate risks of unwanted use or exploitation of shared assets.

Feature Details:

  1. Automatic Revocation:
  • When a user blocks another user, all shared pictures, emojis, and other content should immediately and automatically be unshared with the blocked individual.
  1. Manual Control Option:
  • Provide users with an option to manually unshare specific assets at any time, enabling more granular and proactive control over their content.

Thank you for your advice; however, I already have all the necessary information regarding VRChat to handle any potential situation effectively.

After careful consideration, I’ve decided not to proceed with the suggested approach. Currently, there are over around 100 relevant posts in the appropriate section, with 30+ of them gaining significant traction. In comparison, this forum page has just six active pages, and my post is among the most recent. Within six hours, it has received 16 views and three interactions, which I find encouraging.

Additionally, I’ve already received several messages on Discord from people thanking me for creating this post and agreeing that it was a valuable contribution.

I’d also like to express my appreciation for your presence on the forum. I’ve seen your responses on other posts, and it’s clear that you’re respected by many here. I hope our paths cross again in the future, and perhaps we’ll have the chance to collaborate.
