Allows BuddyPress administrators to block users indefinitely, or for a specified period of time.
This plugin requires BuddyPress 2.5.0+.
Sometimes a user in your community needs a some time to cool off. In BuddyPress, spamming or deleting the user is a destructive action, leaving little to no trace that the user existed. BP Block Users allows a capable user (administrators only by default) to block a user from logging into the site. Users can be blocked for a specified period of time, or indefinitely, if administrators need more time to determine the best course of action.
A message will be shown on the login screen when a blocked user attempts, but ultimately fails, to login, informing them that their account has been blocked. During the block period, email notifications are suspended.

What happened to versions 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.0, 0.8.0, and 0.9.0?
You blinked, and you missed them.
In reality, the changes made in version 1.0.0 were drastic enough, that the version change needed to help convey the message. While BP Block Users won't be following semver just yet, the 1.0.0 release needed to be treated as such.

TLDR
The Fuller House
This plugin was written as a quick solution to an immediate need. It was then released on the off-chance others might find it useful. Turns out, it had staying power. At the time of this release, there are about 195 more people using it than I expected.
That brings us to version 1.0.0. All functions from version 0.1.0 have been deprecated. The deprecated functions will still perform as they did in 0.1.0, but they will throw a deprecation warning when using WP_DEBUG.
If you were using the plugin as-is, with no custom functionality built on top, then you don't need to do anything further. If you were using any of the functions/filters/hooks from version 0.1.0 for custom functionality, please see the Upgrading to 1.0.0 wiki page.
Despite these major changes, the plugin should work the same or better than before!
