Hi, first my apologies if this has been requested to death, the keywords i tried to search with wern't very fruitfull.

Anyways, ocasionally you get fed up with someone who is just being a jerk, so it would be usefull to be able to give them a 'time out' and block them for a selectable amount of time (6,12,24 hours, two days, a week, etc). At which time Messenger Plus would automatically remove the block for you.

Win-Win, you get left alone long enough for the annoyance to wear off, and you don't accidentally end up leaving someone blocked forever.



thanks
paul

interesting, would the amounts be selectable by the user, or only beable to select certian pre-set times

well i know that, i mean he had an idea of the what he wanted i'm just trying to picture what he's takling about

I like the idea .... That way I wouldn't forget to unblock them.

I'm imaging a selectable list with some pre-sets (6,12,24,48hours) or "Other" in which case the user would get an input box asking them to enter an amount.

code:

---

Temporary Block ->  6 Hours
               | -> 12 Hours
               | -> 24 Hours
               | -> 48 Hours
               | -> 1 Week
               | -> Other

hmm i vote yes on this idea, its kinda like a ban

But if someone is being annoying on my list i just shout at them and if they are a pain i perma block em. There isnt one person on my list that i remember blocking and then unblocking so eh

But the idea seems good. Kinda like a forum ban But it would screw up if you had the wrong system time while giving the ban and you correct it later

That sounds like a pretty cool idea, I hope Patchou looks into this.

A function like /tempblock email time , would be pretty cool it saves me having to unblock idiots

You'll be able to do that easily with the new scripting interface of Messenger Plus! Live ,
