For now if you want to block a user's content (nodes and, I have also setup blocking, comments) you have to first find a node posted by a user. There is no link for blocking under users' comments or profile pages. And some users never post nodes, but only take part in commenting, so it is just impossible to block their comments. The module does strongly need to provide links for blocking on other places like under user comments and profile pages.

Yes.

See some commented out code in (IIRC) user.inc. I turned it into a patch on fasttoggle, which was eventually accepted, http://drupal.org/node/139133. That could be leveraged to provide a link on the user profile.

I'd welcome a patch.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. I hope that this issue will soon be addressed by maintainers.

Can anyone out there add in a link on the comments pages so this module could be of some real use? By only being able to block a user when they post a node, it limits the usability of this module severely. I would do it myself if I understood how Drupal works better.

See http://drupal.org/node/226836 for a roughed in patch to support blocking from comment links. If/when finished, that patch would pave the way for adding user page links.
