WikiAnswers is not a social media platform. You can make friends here by being active, complimenting those who give you good answers, and messaging those you think are like-minded. However, since it is not a social media platform, there is no block feature like the social media sites would have. The goal here is to build a collaborative community, not be divided into segments. So as long as you focus mainly on the work of the site, you won't have a need to block people from sending you messages. Now, if others start harassing or "wikihounding" you, then you should contact a supervisor about this, since they shouldn't be doing that. If they are annoying you enough that you'd want to block them or ignore their posts, then they are likely annoying others at this level and would likely need supervisor intervention.

Some of the categories on WikiAnswers should not be browsed through by younger children in school, so a school will block WikiAnswers on their server. However, a more common reason is due to vandalism. Instead of researching in class like a student is supposed to be doing, they vandalize WikiAnswers, which does not benefit anybody. If enough students are vandalizing WikiAnswers and neglecting classwork, the school will block WikiAnswers on their server.

How do you block your piczo friends?
Unfortunately, the only way to block people on piczo is if they have written to you. When you open a message on piczo, beside the display pic of the person who wrote to you it says "block this member". You can block people easily in the meebo chat, though. All you need to do is click on the options for that person and click block. You can control who sees your site by having it set to "friends only" or "password protected" if you find you are having serious issues with people. That way you control who goes to your site and who doesn't. You can remove friends by clicking on "friends". On your list of friends there is a red X beside each one. Click on that to remove someone.
