Ban user?

Title
Ban user?

Short, concise description of the idea
Provide a link to the ban users page in either the friends menu or "other friends tools" area

Full description of the ideaI think it's pretty self explanatory. I get a stack of bots friending me and every time i want to ban one (because the bot sbuse report takes forever to delete their account)

A link to the page has been moved into the Account Settings page, on the Privacy tab.

Yeah, but as the OP said, it's still not intuitive to find on the Site Map. How about, under the "Your Account" heading, there be a link to the Privacy Tab, labelled "Manage Privacy Options" or somesuch?

[poshlil]

Yeah, that's not a bad place for it. It's one of the first places i looked when originally searching.

It's also in the hover menu, for those users who wish to enable that.

ETA: Oh, hang on, no it's not. It's just a link that lets you ban/unban the user you're hovering over.

[poshlil]

Ah, i see. I've disabled those menus anyway, they slowed down my loading time like nobody's business.

[trixieleitz]

Fair enough - I have them enabled, but there are plenty of people who don't like them. And that option doesn't do exactly what you wanted, anyway.

[poshlil]

Yeah, they were a pretty good idea in theory but the practice just didn't work out for me. I know some people detest them, but it's not that, i just suffer from bad connection and have to streamline my pages.

And no, it doesn't quite. :P But it's a good thing to know if i ever re-enable the hover menu, so ta!

Well, lookie here, under the Friends header, at the very bottom of the list! :D

(Psssst, Azz, methinks you can flag this as "implemented." :3 (Reposting this comment to reply directly to you.)

Big thumbs up! Thanks LJ. :D

[azurelunatic]

So I can! I was thinking that last night when it caught my eye, but by that time I was snuggled in bed pretty much just chatting.

Looks like a total coincidence, but hey, I'll take it! Implemented in Release 63! http://community.livejournal.com/lj_releases/55347.html

There's also a feedback entry linked from that release about the menu redesign.

(And I have the maintainer-gets-all-comment subscription formerly known as "the magic subscription", so you can page me anywhere.)

[lady_angelina]

(Ahhh, I didn't know that. Neat! :D Not gonna lie, I'd hate to be your email inbox (*GRIN*), but at least this way, you won't miss anything. =)

It is interesting, to say the least, but I have Gmail labeling all things that come in with a suggestions link in them, which makes it a little easier. My LJ inbox was worse until they put through the thing to separate a subscription.
