| How can I block a certain Kudoz user? | Nov 4, 2012 |
It wasn't hard to figure out who you were writing about.
Wow! This person has answered 5,195 questions and only 353 of them have been accepted.
It boggles the mind! However, judging by the text in this person's profile, it is clear that this person "has a spider on the ceiling".

I faced a similar problem over the past one year or so, where a certain person in my language pair would post and send harrassing KudoZ comments not to me only, but to other users (here I mean members and users). This person has been warned by site staffs and moderators countless times, but still kept on breaking all the Site and KudoZ rules. This person's some of the weird behaviors were:
1) Edit comments to any answerer s/he deems to be incorrect consecutively, i.e. five to fifty times in a few minutes to several hours timeframe, if the answerer just ignores this person's peer comments.
2) Deletes agrees entered days, weeks or months ago once s/he is rejected from having a friendly relationship with the site users, or when someone reports this person's behavior to the moderator or the site staff.
3) Related to 2) above, this person enters a disagree to people once the person in question and this answerer's relationship has turned sour.
Therefore, in my language pair, many users including myself have set the Kudoz notification system to "I do not want to be notified of peer comments to my KudoZ answers".
I have submitted numerous support tickets to the site staff and moderators, and all I got was "Appropriate action has been taken", where you see the same old person showing up at KudoZ the very next day pa"trolling" the KudoZ section and entering answers and (offensive) peer comments as if nothing has happened.
Oh, and by the way, this person has a Pro-Certified badge.
So, blocking a certain KudoZ user is impossible.
