pablobm created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#7140)

Currently, a user can "mute" another user. This is to help preventing harassment.

The exact mechanism involves storing the "muted" messages under a separate tab, labelled "Muted messages". Users can decide whether to read them or not, and they don't count as unread messages (thus not making the red badge appear next to the user display name).

Notifications can also be a harassment vector. Eg: leaving messages on changesets, knowing that the target user will receive them. Therefore mutes should also be taken into account when delivering notifications.

Problem: what should the mechanism be? A "separate inbox" like used in private messages might not be feasible here. Or yes, I don't know. To consider.
