Personal Blacklist for users
Hi,
is it possible to have one's own blacklist for selected users, so that you know right from the start that you do not want to lose time with some users ? Is it already implemented in EE ?
It sometime happens that you lose your time to help people and they get arrogant and rude: you do not want to lose your time again with them but you just forget their name, at the risk of making the same mistake over and over.

> many times people take someone's help as if it is it paid
Perception is reality. The perception is not always clear on all sides.
A non-premium member can ask questions freely on the site just as a premium member can. However, the premium member has some additional benefits including higher priority (offering more points) when asking questions, discounts for Live or Gigs, anonymous/private questions etc.
To become a premium member, you either pay with money or with earned points. One way to earn points is by answering questions. In a sense, you are part of the monitory system.

I am totally going there.
Yes. Create a Saved Search, include your zones, and exclude any member you wish to 'blacklist'.
Then only answer questions in your saved search and not directly in the zone.
Works beautifully. I have a couple of experts that I've excluded. Don't remember off the top of my head what they did to warrant my excluding them but I'm sure it was spectacular. I'll add anonymous users as soon as that functionality exists. If anyone complains, well, EE built that functionality, so nobody should be surprised that it's used.
I've also blocked only one user so far. That I remember.
Having said all of that, my activity in EE has been down the last year anyways as I started a big job and just don't have the time.
