+summary: 'XEP-0191: Simple Communications Blocking support'
+...
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Privacy lists are a widely implemented protocol for instructing your
+server on blocking communications with selected users and services.
+
+However experience has shown that the power and flexibility of the
+rule-based system that privacy lists allow is very often much more
+complex than the user needs, and that in most cases a simple block on
+all communications to or from a list of specified JIDs would suffice.
+
+Such a protocol would also allow much simpler user interface design than
+the current attempts at full privacy list interfaces.
+
+Details
+=======
+
+Simple Communications Blocking was developed to solve the above issues,
+and allows the client to manage a simple list of blocked JIDs. This
+plugin implements support for that protocol in Prosody, however the
+actual blocking is still managed by mod\_privacy, so it is **required**
+for that plugin to be loaded (this may change in future).
+
+An XEP-0191 implementation without dependency on mod\_privacy is
+available in Prosody 0.10 as
+[mod\_blocklist](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_blocklist).
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Simply ensure that mod\_privacy (or mod\_privacy\_lists in 0.10+) and
+mod\_blocking are loaded in your modules\_enabled list:
+
+        modules_enabled = {
+                        -- ...
+                        "privacy", -- or privacy_lists in Prosody 0.10+
+                        "blocking",
+                        -- ...
+
