Why can't I block users?
I can't find how to block people. The section in "My Friends" says to select "block user" from the info box menu, but that option does not show up in my info box menu. What gives?

Inappropriate?What browser are you using? Do you block a user from your own profile or another page?
Kind regards,

Fyi, I See it on FireFox 2.0.0.16 -
I'm using the latest Firefox that isn't FF 3 -- I think it's 2.0.0.16. I'm trying to block the user as they appear in the "interesting plurkers" timeline -- they're not interesting to me, and they have yet to post anything I care about. -
Inappropriate?ah, that's why :). Interesting plurker's timeline is a global timeline for you to meet other plurkers. You cannot block someone from appearing in a global timeline. Think of it as a social lounge.
But you should be able to block annoying people from your own timeline. -
well -- they're not appearing in my timeline. I just don't want to read their plurks in the Interesting timeline. In other words, I'd like to be able to mute that user, like moving away from a person in a social lounge. In such a place you don't have to hear or see things you don't want to; I'd like that same functionality here.
If I go to that user's profile, and block them there, will that prevent their plurks from appearing in the Interesting timeline? -
unfortunately nope. continuing the lounge analogy, being a patron to the public lounge, you can't ask people who you don't like to disappear either :). For now, 'interesting plurker' page is a place where we bring everyone together. It's a public timeline, not a personal one. Maybe you can try to filter out her/him by using the location and age filter. -
I didn't know you could filter by age -- I had no reason to look. I guess that's the solution for now. Thanks!
