Subject: Enhancing "block member" on Writersco?

I have already had the distinct displeasure of blocking a member, whose name shall remain nameless, something I thought wouldn't ever happen on Writersco. This isn't Elftown, after all . . .

In the interests of keeping Writersco as drama-free and tranquil a community as possible, would Writersco please consider adding this feature to "block member"?:

---not only are the messages, etc. from the idiot blocked, but the idiot also cannot view the presentation of a member, or comment on any of their wikis/writings

Obviously this wouldn't work on a site the size of Elftown, because people would simply log in on clone houses and harrass, harrass, harrass. Yet on this controlled, restricted invitation-only community don't we want to do everything we can as a community to prevent a few isolated people from making it go to the birds? The only people who come here are those who are invited. No such thing as clone houses on Writersco, unless there are two Writersco members from the same home.

Here's an example of what such a page redirect might look like . . . redirecting to Mainstreet, for example:

I just want to be in a Writersco that keeps the peanut gallery idiots up in the peanut gallery where they belong, and not making the Wriersco experience miserable, for the rest of us. I don't want any drama. Been there, done that, never again. Shut the trolls up by shutting down their view of most things pertaining to the members who have blocked them. It shuts them up (and maybe encourages them to do something constructive instead of going out of their way to bother people they like to bother on other sites!), and gives the rest of us peace of mind.


Thanks . . . and if donations are necessary to fund something like this, I'd be more than happy to sacrifice money spent for snack foods, for a few weeks to cover the costs of the Writersco donation. :)
