And I answered: don't use such methods. They're more trouble than
they're worth, as you're finding out.

And use a bit of theory: a "small number" today, plus a "small number"
tomorrow, plus a "small number" the day after, and so on... will
eventually become a large chunk of your user base. However, if you're
happy to pay money to people for them to block your lines of
communication, please don't let me stop you. 

I also suggested that your preferred solution had problems. But, again,
if you don't think my reasoning was convincing, then that's entirely
your affair. It's what your brain's for,
