The focus on technology here is very important. Right now, there is
no way for Wikimedians to control from whom they receive "email this
user" emails, or pings through the notification system. We know that
both have been, and continue to be, vectors for harassment and
trolling. There's never, to my knowledge, been any consideration
given to including these features. We keep being told we're going to
get this wonderful new communication system called "Flow" to replace
talk pages. Features that allow users to control who posts to their
"page", or even to let non-admin users remove individual threads or
posts from their "stream", aren't included - and I'm not sure they're
even under consideration.
Sorry not to mention technological issues like you mention above. Mostly
my own lack of knowledge. And they do sound helpful. It's annoying when
you have to go to WP:ANI to get someone to stop posting their rants to
your talk page despite 2 or 3 requests! (Guys do have to put up with it
too, sometimes, of course.)
