Poll question: Do You Miss The Block Function?
I sure do. I have had the same asshole hijack thread after thread of mine. Now that that special ex-feature (block) is gone, he's doing it again.

3. How do you mean 'hijack'?
I know personal attacks aren't allowed, but what about hijacking?

8. Now
those who used the block-function (I hadn't gotten enough replies to think about using it) get to deal with previously-blocked members, including those who were pissed-off at being blocked -- and who are now (possibly) looking to take revenge. (Once implemented, the feature should have stayed implemented; the status quo had already been disturbed, and now it's doubly disturbed -- and those who took advantage of this shelter are deprived off it.)

And while controversial, the block-function was apparently useful to (what appeared to be) a minority of members.

Public block-lists were a bad idea, though.

10. Locking...
If you observe behavior that is in violation of DU's Rules you are encouraged/instructed to use the alert function. Posting a thread to make accusations against a fellow member is not appropriate.

Sincerely,
buddhamama - DU Mod
