block opponents

I tried searching for a post on this apologies if I missed it. Is there a way to block a person from playing against you? I don't mean block posts I mean when I start a new game I don't want to play against the same person again. I don't know if this is a problem at more advanced levels but as a beginner I come across a lot players who will just abandon a game when losing, leaving you to wait for the clock to run down. I rarely win as it is :) I know the site tries to punish repeated offenders but there seem to be plenty around. Or another situation is that I often play with chat disabled because" I'm going **** you now" is just a mood spoiler. So once you come across a person like this it would be nice to have a feature to block them from playing against you again, I think at least. Thanks Nikhil

Sure.  It's easy enough to do. Roll your cursor up to Home in the upper right. Click Account>Privacy.  I think the blocked list is at the bottom.  A couple of things: you're limited to 200 blocks (Yes, there have been angry posts demanding more) and there have been posts about it not taking effect immediately which I can't verify.  I have 6 or 7 blocks although I doubt if any of them are still members.
