Block updates via Tracking feature of certain users
Hi Guys, I got a little idea, sometimes it's very annoying and going fast to 250 SMS limit per week when we receive updates that we don't want via Tracking feature. But when we block the users that we don't want to receive updates from, it's does not blocking the updates via Tracks.
So I think it'd be very nice, the Blocking feature blocks the updates via Tracks also from blocked users.

Inappropriate?I would probably use a lot more tracking if this was available. Great idea!
I’m excited

Inappropriate?To elaborate on this a bit, my main issue with tracking is that you get these legitimate users who post a massive amount of tweets about a given thing. I have found this to be true with trying to track a city (like Santa Cruz or Berkeley) and getting notices for every open house in those cities from real estate twitterbots.
It would be really helpful to block folks like that, since it actually helps everyone find the info the want, thus making Twitter a better service.

Inappropriate?This is absolutely needed; seems kind of silly that you can block someone, but they can indirectly contact you via a tracked keyword you have.

Inappropriate?This is probably my biggest annoyance with Twitter right now. I track the name of the town where I live - but the surname of one of the biggest sports stars in this country is the same as my town's name. If there's a game on involving his team, I have to turn notifications off for hours before the game, as well as during the game, in order to avoid using up my sms allowance with tweets from media and fans. I tried blocking the sites those notifications come from, but they still arrive, so it's pointless. There must be many Twitter users in similar situations; this needs to be addressed. I can think of absolutely no logical reason for allowing notifications from blocked users, no matter what words they use in their tweets.
I’m irritated

There's a definite need for Twitter's Track feature to respect existing Blocks. -

This hole can be exploited by not just spammers but also trolls who harass people who are "vanity tracking" their own userid. -
