I have an idea. If technically /practically possible, the mods post a weekly leaderboard of members that are blocked by other members--say top 20. 

Reason: I think it is important to have feedback on what others think of your contribution to the greater AF community for 2 reasons:

1. Personal growth. While you may think your quality, content and tone are seen as positive contributions, others may not and changes can be made.
2. Improve quality of overall forum. Everyone has a threshold where if the quality of discussion falls below it, they will consider leaving. If members know and use the feedback loop of "Ignore" purposefully, I have to believe it will make a difference in overall quality. Improvements in quality will increase retention. Increased retention improves quality. 

Good idea? Bad idea? Impracticable? Impossible? Another method with same goal?

I just want to state I have never blocked anyone.

No.

Mind-shatteringly bad idea.  Deserves a BAFTA in the 'Bad Ideas' category. Could easily make the cover of 'Bad Ideas Magazine'.  On a badness par with the following ideas:

-Parachutes made of rocks

-Scuba tanks made of cheesecloth

-Presbyterianism

-Lutefisk

-Low-fat anything

Boru

I've never even blocked Stevie.  Always best to know what the lunatic fringe is saying.

I hate blocking people, but have because some nonsense becomes too much for me. I could care less if people block me.

Leave it to Stevie to request a popularity contest.

I only tried to block one person, and that didn't work.

Why can't you block staff?

You can.

Thank you for the laughs I've experienced in this thread.
