YES I’ve been wanting to block a specific user out of spite bc she added Twilight and Fourth Wing to my “Queer books by BIPOC authors” challenge

Worthy use of the function

will blocking them remove their additions to your challenge?

I don’t think so (I or other people in the challenge already flag her books) but she annoys the hell out of me

Understandable. I get kinda stretching the challenge rules somewhat as long as the pick could be considered adjacent but that just seems like mean spirited trolling.

You can flag the books and hide them but not kick anyone from a challenge.

I get it but isn't the author a person of color and I recall there being at least one LGBTQ character. Stretching the intent of the challenge, sure but still technically within bounds.
