Nobody cares how many players you block and why (at least I dont know any penalties for that by this moment)
If you keep aborting games you lose this ability (the abort button simply becomes unavailable) until you play some number of games

I play several 10|0 rapid games each day and check every opponent before making a move to see if I get a 'bad feeling' and if the abort option is available I abort the game and block the member. The first check is how long they have been a member and if it's a matter of days or weeks I look at their game history and it's ridiculous that there are so many new members with extremely suspect playing history. The biggest red flag for me is the first few games they play when joining and this can be a deciding factor if I abort a game and avoid losing points to a dishonest player.
My question is not about that side of things but about aborting and blocking members so I don't fall foul of the fair play rules myself. Is it permitted to abort a game and block the member based on their profile and game history or could I be sanctioned for doing this? I have to do it several times a day and my block list is now somewhere around 400 members but it's necessary because there are so many dishonest players here.
