if you notice in the privacy settings in preferences it givesyou the option of blocking all users.

And besides, if you ever do hit the limit (its over 200 i believe) then theres a very good chance that some of the people on the block list don’t remember you, and they can just be removed to make room for more screenames.

Simply Put, Yes there is

I am not sure the defined number but it is not 200.

It is I think 35, around there.

Once you try to block someone and you have reached your limit, it lets you know (Believe me I would know ;))

It’s definitely not 35, my guess would be 100-200. I’ve hit the limit because I always load and save my settings for new screen names, so all the blocked names get transferred and I just add to the list. But, yeah, if you ever get that many just delete some old ones or turn on your privacy to “buddy list only”

I have more than 35 users blocked on mine and I havent hit the limit yet. I know some people who have had their screenames for years and have alot more than that. 35 just isn’t enough, and people would be complaining all to much about how they can block any more people.

Oh ya, and another solution would be to use a program that removes your screename from peoples buddylist’s (if you hit the block limit) so they don’t know your on.

I talked to a BBB moderator. It is fine to discuss, as it can’t do anything to harm other users, such as removing anyone you want from whoever you want’s buddylist. It simply remove you from other users buddylist, and you must be on your account to do it, so theres nothing bad about it.
