A Blocking Facility
23 Answers
Hi Ed, would it be possible to create a blocking facility on here? many forums already operate a "block user" option, surely this would cut down on the general fisticuffs and may even be beneficial in cutting down the trolls as if people blocked them their "fun" would be more limited.

Morning.
A good discussion here. I believe we've spoken about it before?
As it has been pointed out, it wouldn't work particularly well for the social elements of the site - it is the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "LALALALA". And I don't think anyone is up for that.
When things get a little heated we (usually the weekend ed) will suspend a user for a cooling off period. Most will be reinstated (unless you send us snooty emails!) after a few days.
I think, for now, this is the best we've got to offer!
All the best,
Spare Ed
