If you're having problems with a certain user, but you'd still like to allow comments by other people who aren't on your friends list, you can ban the specific user from posting comments in your journal. To be effective, you should also prevent anonymous commenting, as described in a separate FAQ at http://www.blurty.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=32
There are two ways to ban a user:
1.) After you delete a comment from any Blurty user, a checkbox shows up that lets you ban them. If that is selected, that user will be unable to leave further comments in your journal.
2.) If you want to ban a specific Blurty user without having to delete one of their comments, you can ban them using the Admin Console at http://www.blurty.com/admin/console/
First, make sure you are already logged in to the Blurty website, then go to the console and enter this command:
ban_set username
The word "username" in the above command must be replaced with the actual username of the user you want to ban.
To unban a user, go to http://www.blurty.com/editinfo.bml (where you can also control lots of other options). Look for the "unban users" section near the bottom of the page.
You can also use the Admin Console to unban a user. The command for that is:
ban_unset username Last Updated:
