What can be done about persistent, unwanted PMs? Is there a way to block an individual from PMing you?

If it constitutes harrassment, we can ban the individual. I don't think you can block an individual.

If you've asked the individual to stop and he hasn't, you can inform a mod via PM. It is possible that such an individual might be banned.

Thank you for the responses. It's good to know what my options are. I will try to handle it privately and inform a mod if that is not successful. I would not want to get someone banned unless there were no other options.

On Aspies For Freedom, you can block a person from contacting you via PM so I don't see why they couldn't do the same here. It would save a lot of trouble in the long run.
