    Retain the "block this user" on Closed Profiles

    Trolls have figured out that if they close their profiles it makes it much harder for people to block them, and they can continue to troll people.

    Why is this? Because there is no "block this user" or equivalent button on closed profiles.

    Solution -- close everything except the "block this user" or equivalent button when someone closes their profile. That option should always be available.

      You can add them to your ignore list using the forums.

      It blocks all their posts and PMs.

          The blocking of the trolls isn't really that effective if they're smart.

          But I agree, this should be added to at least make them work a little harder.

              There is another way around this if you can't figure it out through the forums. Go to any profile that isn't on your friends list, right-click and copy the link location of the 'block user' button.

              This will give you something like this:

              http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...lock&friendID=xxxxxx&key=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff


              Where the bold x's represents that users ID, and the red code is a hexadecimal string unique to your account.


              Replace the user ID with the person you want to block, paste into your address bar, hit enter and BAM!
              (if you don't know their user ID, go to their profile and right-click/save link location on the 'PM xxxx' button under 'xxxs forum' and it will show their user id in the link)


              (perhaps adding a 'bolck user' button under one of the header drop-down menus would be neat tho)
