#summary XEP-0191: Simple Communications Blocking support #labels Stage-Alpha = 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). = Configuration = Simply ensure that mod_privacy and mod_blocking are loaded in your modules_enabled list: {{{ modules_enabled = { -- ... "privacy", "blocking", -- ... }}} = Compatibility = ||0.8||Works|| ||0.7||Works|| ||0.6||Doesn't work||
