I don't think that TSR has a block function, only ignore.
You can't.

Ignore button is useless when someone is following me to simply ‘stalk me’

I know.
In the last 6 month, a lot of TSR users have either left the site or deactivated their accounts then created new a one to shake off a cyber stalker/someone waging a hate campaign irl & online.

Report them
The stuff we can do to ignore someone on here is very limited. It's just a low-class block option

Report them

Another account created then what? I know they’ll just create another one. Very weird behaviour

Wow. I just find that kind of behaviour extremely odd

Seriously? I didn't pick up on such animosity here so far. Apart from one regular user who appears to starve for others' negative reactions. Only one.

I’m not going to name him but there’s one guy who loved to annoy everyone on this site ages ago.

I've literally had this conversation in ACT last week. Start a thread at https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1215 , but also request that this functionality is enabled on TSR. The more of us ask for it, the more likely it is to happen.

I asked that we should be able to 'approve' people who want to follow us, and also to block them from so doing. I'm sure this should be a very easy thing for the dev team to do.

Report to the mods but I doubt they'll do anything. I tried to report a stalker but they had Lots of gems and can see everything. Got me bare paranoid. Good luck sis x

Yes.
Some trolls can be very vitriolic, start threads which bombard specific users with abuse and get in the habit of sending threatening or illegal DMs.
Debates about politics, religion and the middle east can get heated very quickly.
Then spiral into vicious grudges that involve illegal conduct.
You can’t. And tbh that function wouldn’t really change anything. Even if they couldn’t follow you they can still click on your profile and search all of your posts.

Yes, but it would still be helpful because it makes it just a bit more difficult. It's like a decent lock on a door: it doesn't in and of itself stop the determined burglar, but it does deter the casual thief.

Out of interest how many features are you aware of that have been introduced at users request?
