What if you could change your wall so that only your friends and mods could post on it? It would cut down on the spam because the spammers would have less areas to spam making it easier to catch them.

...OK, (rofl) time to wrap things up a bit here


The gist of it, there are a lot of benefits and no cons from getting a blocked user list and button:

--Spammers would be unable to post on your comments page

--Friends and/or strangers could still post on your comments page, unless of course you deem it necessary to block them.

--The AP kept inside the comments page would be saved, and needless loss of AP would still be kept.

--The button for it would be like a bomb symbol, or a hammer symbol, and it would be right next to the flag button.

@Plokkey

To me, you seem to be a perfectionist, and yet your not perfect. Are you full of yourself lately? Or are you targeting me because I passed you?..(Not a threat)

@Shint-whatever!
Problem solved.
There is one con. People can keep making new accounts to spam you.

I would seriously laugh at that. I would actually feel somewhat important if people would waste 10 minutes to just create an account, delete their old one, create another email account, JUST so spam me so I can block them again : )

Just keep blocking them. It's more effort to create an account than to click a button to block them.

I'm not against you because you passed me, then I would rush to get the AP. I've talked to you about this before. YOu've gone backwards.

@ShinTETSU
Heh, some people do that to me. And no, you don't have to delete your old one, and create another email account, and there is no block option currently.

Well, isn't that why we are having this discussion?? Lol, right now it's getting to the point where it's pointless talk and dribble; we need to present the facts to a moderator so he/she can look over it and say yay or nay.

Personally I would say Yay. It would be SO helpful. It would save me 2 aspirin a day.

We have already said yay to this 100 times . Yay! Why are we discussing something from the common suggestions list in the first place?

I would say a simple no, but then that would be spamming. Hey, I just filled up my post with some words. So I'll come clean with the answer:

No.

Hmm...isn't that spam anyways? Oh no, I'm making more canned meat...

That's it, time to redirect the thread:

Now then, keep this here, this problem was solved, majority vote was YAY, now let's keep it at this until a moderator comes and looks, hmm?
