the brilliance of *BLOCK*

The website needs users to be able to block each other so they at least can stop certain users messaging them, would be even better if it cut them out in groups and the forums aswell.

I know it's not something that can just be done, but following recent events might not be such a bad idea, otherwise people may leave following a outbreak of troll.

As Sue Bunny Pointed out, yes there IS a block feature. The pros are if you use it the person you have blocked doesn't have access to your profile page, can't request you as a friend, can't send you a PM or comment on a blog.

The down side is they CAN comment on what you post in the forum.
(I'm not sure if they are blocked from joining a group that you may have formed though)

hmm, anyother person seems to get harrased by someone on here, but nobody mentions who that (those) person(s) actually is (are)

What you mean

well, squid wrote a blog or a forumpost about someone harrasing her on her, now petefukkinellis's doing the same thing (almost), but nobody sais who's harrasing them, so that something could be done about it

Generally speaking, if someone has a problem with another user on the site, it's between those two people, and doesn't necesarilly need to be dragged out into the public because the underlying cause is usually nobody's damn business.

If that's the case, the person who feels they're being harassed should try to deal with it themselves, by using the block feature, tightening the security on their profile, etc. If that isn't enough to address the problem, contact an admin for information and assistance. Just complaining openly about it, whether or not names are named, will accomplish nothing.

In Pete's case its an issue that started in the forums, and then the person started going after him outside of them. Since it started as a public issue, he probably just assumed everyone knew who he was talking about.
