Blocked users shouldn't remain fans
I needed to block somebody tonight (@ringernation) - he had just submitted his fifth or sixth friend request to me, and I'd had enough. So I blocked using the pop-down menu on his name. But then, for the fun of it, I decided to check and see if he was still on my fan list...and there he was.
Problem is, why can a blocked user be a fan of the blocker? Either the presumptive friend is still able to view the plurks (thus defeating part of the block), or they're a fan of someone they're unable to follow (wha?). Either way, blocked users should probably be kicked out of the fan list too.

I’m kind of amused, actually. strange sense of humor and all that.

Inappropriate?I agree! A block should keep people from following and fanning you... or even seeing you on Plurk.

Inappropriate?I agree. This has been a problem with @ringernation. I'm at Plurk because it ISN'T Twitter or MySpace. If I block someone, I'd rather their script not keep trying to add me constantly, and having them show up on my friends list.
I’m worried about these weird stalkers.

Inappropriate?Good point. The repeater and reposting services offered by sites like ping.fm do not help in this regard. It's a good reason NOT to use the repeater services, frankly.
