I know there's an option somewhere on AD to block an SP from contacting you, but can't find it? Did at one time, but try as may can't find it again? Anyone help please?
Just view their profile on AW then hit the Add to Blacklist button at the top. That way they can't send you messages and you won't see their profile when you do searches either.
If you do that you won't see any name changes of the dodgy one's you really want to avoid. I don't blacklist anyone, I put the dodgy ones in a hotlist so I can keep an eye on them and see any name or location changes.
But if you've blacklisted them then they continue to be blacklisted even if they change name, right?
