Well apparently optional fields with a default are not configurable so I have to make them required... unexpected.

They are suppose to be boolean fields, but it looks like the UI got mangled. I'll take a look.

I built a proxy number for my sister who has to deal with her abusive ex-husband. She has court ordered visitations via phone for their kids. He would give her number to any multitude of people that would send harassing messages on his behalf.

The proxy allows any calls or texts from her number to send out with the proxy number. Any calls or texts from his number connect to her phone. All other communications are given a notice that they don't have access to call or message the proxy number and communications are recorded for court. It does not forward blocked communications to her phone. He continues to give out the number to harass her, but the family court judge gets a monthly report of all the attempted harassment.

To be honest I think this happens naturally and it's fine. The median age in the community feels older and more folks are working in management and business roles. Interests in a community ebb and flow in relation to what folks are working on these days.

The DNS hack is a nice low fidelity way to avoid procrastination helpers. I have also used https://www.rescuetime.com/ which provides a bit more of a polished interface for accomplishing the same effect.

One aspect is that LinkedIn is protective of plugins that incidentally cover up their own ads. Notably several entries on this list once had such grievances filed against them.
