Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Suggestions _ Removing your name from a user’s pal pad

Posted by: charmedward Oct 26 2021, 09:11 AM

I've looked into it and there doesn't seem to currently be a way to remove yourself from another user's pal pad. We can ignore DMs from other players, but there's no block / removal of friendship action available to players.

Ideally, it would be great if we could block someone and that would automatically remove your name from their pal pad
- in the same way that Twitter makes blocked accounts unfollow you. In my case, I specifically want to remove my name from an inactive user's account. This person hasn't been online for about ten years, but I still see their account name every time I interact with the people who've added me to their pal pads and it brings me down.

It's not a major thing, but I've seen other people expressing an interest in this and it's always surprised me that there's no block feature on GPX. I suppose that's testament to the great active community we have here!

Thanks for reading

Personally, I would love to see a blocking/removal method added as well! Granted, my reasoning is more serious. I have an online stalker issue, to put it shortly, and they somehow found me on this site a couple of years ago and added me. I "blocked" them on the forums, but can't rid of their Pal Pad add. It tweaks the hell out of me each time I see them pop up in the "people who have added me to their Pal Pad" section in the Users page.

I asked about this years ago. I don't understand why there's no way to get yourself removed from someone's Pal Pad. Blocking should automatically do that.
