Side effect of being unable to specify characters by name: unable to blacklist people

I have found you can get around this by sending the person a tell. Can be anything. I like to send a tell simply calling them an ass. You can then right click their name in the outgoing tell and add them to your blacklist. Great thing about that, is their response falls on deaf ears, assuming they even send one.

tbh I'd report you for that. You could have rejected the invite, blacklisted and moved on. But you had to be rude and thus, reportable. They aren't breaking a rule, you are at that point.

Taelyn's example was rude, but the point of the suggestion was simply about sending a tell in order to enable blacklisting. It would work the same with a more polite /tell.

Yes, the specific suggestion to tell the other person they're an ass is incredibly rude. That aside, it's not possible to blacklist and move on--the inviter's name in the chat log is not a name link. It's plain text.

One should not have to send a tell just to be able to blacklist somebody. We should just be able to blacklist anyone we want to blacklist for any reason without having to interact with them first.

If the inviter's character name is "goldforcheap wwwgoldcom" (url fabricated for a point) I find little reason to be polite to them. And yes, even if I tossed that out of my head, there used to be epidemic of such party invites from RMT in that form before they made it impossible for free accounts to party invite.
