+#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",
+                    -- ...
+}}}
