A block function needs to be implemented. Most players, 99%+, are good. But there are people who are abusive, [redacted], and people who are just plain [redacted].
A block button should be implemented. It should:
Block that person from dropping on the same team as you.
Block that person from chatting with you outside the game through the client.
Block that person from seeing if you are online.
Ideally, the fact someone was "blocked" should be logged to PGI.
The person blocking someone should have an opportunity (when they block them) to record the reason in a comment.
If a given person gets more than a certain number blocks, someone should review the reasons logged and (if they warrant it) suspend their account. How long should depend on the reasons.
