Reddit Launches New Block Tools To Help Temper Harassment (mashable.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Reddit users can now use the new "block user" feature to better deal with harassment. The new feature was announced Wednesday and while the site has had [a "block user"] feature for quite some time now, the new tool allows users to block other users from replies and comments in addition to private messages, which was what the old tool was limited to previously. If users click the "Block User" button when viewing a reply in their inbox, it will remove replies, comments, messages and posts from that user from your view. Admins will however still see all the messages and replies, and if you're a moderator, you can still see content from users who are blocked on the subreddits you moderate.

IF harassment = anything offensive

Just about the time you ensure everyone has the right to feel warm, fuzzy, and never, ever offended by anything they ever come into contact with...

Congratulations!

You have destroyed everyone else's freedom along with your own.
