In response to blip #136092
Blips is kind of a pseudo-deprecated feature, at this point, now just functioning as a sort of dedicated Twitter-esque "uninversal off-topic forum thread" typea deal. they used to be attached to the user page, with blips sent both to and from a user showing up there.
unfortunately that "blips to a user show up on said user's page" bit was, like, just asking for people to abuse it. and, since all public user communication is handled exclusively by a small group of volunteers, the and there was no way to block/hide a user's blips, any abusive message would remain visible on said user's page until the report ticket was processed, which could be hours. and unlike post comments there's no downvoting it past a threshold or anything either.
it was so bad that, if you check out some Wayback archives of user pages (particularly of NMNY but probably others, too), it's not terribly difficult to find these exact types of blips.
