This is a very useful but simple option that needs to be added. Almost all sites have a block option, so roblox needs one too. This option will hide/mark as spam(create a folder next to "archive" called "spam" where blocked posts go to)/auto-archive/delete messages from the user you decided to block, and if he keeps spamming you on alternate accounts, you can IP block him, means that all accounts using his IP will be blocked. You know why this is useful, so I won't post more about it, to keep this short. And here's why we need it: "I get at least 1 message a day from a randomly generated ROBLOX account, giving me the same message. The message comes with a link saying something like, "Get robux here!" and no matter how many times I report, saying "IP ban this account!" or "Ban all of the accounts sending me messages" nothing ever happens. I need to continue to check my messages because actual people message me." ~ Kyrichu, a roblox user. (from thread ID=153320799) support me

IP baning isn't effective. It's easy to change your IP. ~The OT Snowman~

Ip's can easily be changed and IP blocks bypassed by many different methods. It won't happen.

"an ineffective defence is better than none." No, actually it's not. It takes the web team time to program that when they could be working on something better. Why waste their time?

They didn't make anything "better" in the past few months. Working on something *better* would be working on this. And stop giving the IP Block part so much attention, I also suggested a regular block. All sites have these. We should too, even if they're not the ultimate shield.

Mew has a point, but kids will still probably look up how to bypass an IP ban or ask somebody how to. Also just ignore your messages. *~*FLAME SHIELD ACTIVATED*~*

What should happen I that Roblox should remove the block user limit so we can block as many as we need to. ~The OT Snowman~

They do have a block user function, last time I checked.
