It would be nice to block forum PMs from certain users.

For example: if someone annoys you, you can move the user to block list, and you don't receive PMs from the user.

Certainly is a good idea. This was caused by Killer666, right?

Double post there, The Architest.

I concur on this matter. If PM is to act like e-mail, you should at least be able to block them. It would also be helpful if you could mark a certain PM as spam which would alert the admins to deleting the PM and putting a warning on the user (provided the admins agree that it was a spam PM).

Also, if this option were to be put in, a minor oversight to avoid would be unblocking the users' PM's.

I think the time required to implement these changes does not befit the need.

This is the first time I can think of in 5 years where a PM spammer has become a talking point. As we know the username and IP, let's just use the existing tools and impose a ban.
