I've heard that when you block telegrams from someone, it blocks them by name. I think there should be an option to block them by citizen number. For example, if someone wanted to block telegrams from me, they should be able to choose between "Block telegrams from TechnoZeus" and "Block telegrams from citizen number 155965".

A much needed feature! Several people have telegrammed me with profanity
then changed name before I could block them (their own nature causes me to
catch 'em eventually though :)

Well, the bigger problem as I understand it, is that they can change their name even AFTER you catch them, and get telegrams through that way. It places people being harrassed in a position of having to consider litigation to get it to stop, and being able to block telegrams by citizen number would be a reasonable solution which would help to avoid such extreme measures becomming necessary.

[View Quote] No, it blocks by citnumber. The only way you can block them is by adding them to
your contact list, and your contact list is via citnumber, not citname. Unless they
changed it in 3.4.

Haven't tested it myself... just commenting on what I heard. Yes, I know the contact list is by citizen number, but telegrams are by citizen name... so either way should be possible.

its all by citnumber. your browser just shows it to you by citname, but i
bet its all handeled by the citnumber. it has to be otherwise it would cause
problems (namely the one in this thread)

There are lots of features which would cause problems if they were done a certain way, and are that particular way... so I won't guess at it. If I had two citizenships, I would try testing it.
