Block people on BP?

Question

Does anyone know if you can block other BP members? I recently had to sever a relationship with a contractor on this site. He has been harassing me obsessively and threatening physical harm. I would like to limit his access while I work through this with our legal counsel and law enforcement. I was just wondering if it was possible to restrict his view of my profile?

I would use the "report abuse" button on the member's page. Behavior like that honestly should qualify for a ban of his account.

Wait-- so BP isn't a dating site then?!?! :-P My husband will be relieved... Jk jk.

I have no idea what goes on here, I do know that no one has sent me flowers or a wink or any money, but many have asked me for money, just like dating I'd say! ;)

Ryan Dossey · Answer

I have been on here over a year and never had so much as a "scuffle". I wouldn't worry about it.

Lol. I've never experienced anything like it. Unfortunately, I'm not the only one that has had this experience with him. Oh well... Live and learn right?

It's just business. It should not be emotional, so I don't understand what his objective is here.

Anyway, I'm happy that my husband is in an entirely different field that he loves. On bad days I can live vicariously through him! Lol.

that's so unprofessional. i guess, people take breakups seriously.

Bill Gulley · Answer

No, he hasn't bothered me yet. Hope that clears it up for you, might save whatever it is for the legal eagles. Sorry you had issues with him on here.

Thank you guys! I have reached out to Brandon Turner with more specific details of what is going on. I will change my privacy settings. Hopefully no one else has the same experience I have had.
