Instead of writing something longer and furious, I am agreeing with the suggestion that a block/ignore feature be implemented. It's evident, given recent events, that a certain type of person gets to have sway over this community and gets right of way in all disputes. Some of this sort told someone to kill themselves on the sidebar and in the chat.

If the mods can't protect users and no means are given for self-protection of users, we're going to bleed actual useful productive roleplayers to other communities and be left with the toxic dregs. No one wants that. Yes, that means some people need to do some work, sorry about that.
