Blocking Players

Yes, there are such players, and I am in favor of allowing hosts to block players. At one time it even seemed to be suggested on the forum... There are, of course, abnormal hosts who will use the list for their own purposes, but there is no need to go to such leagues

I don’t believe this should be a host only function.  Most games with a chat function allow individual players to block whoever they want.  I don’t really understand why this function isn’t available to all and should be a standard component of the game’s privacy settings.
