Users are able to rejoin and active session if they have been removed

Product and Version [VS/VSCode]:
VSCode 1.23.0
OS Version [macOS/Windows]:
Ubuntu 16.04
Live Share Extension Version:
0.3.93
Target Platform or Language [e.g. Node.js]:
Go
Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:

1. Start a session and invite one other person
2. Wait for that person to join the session
3. Remove that person from the session
4. Kindly ask the other person to re-join the session
5. Notice that the other person succesfully rejoined the session

This might be a well-intended feature, but it felt odd from a user's perspective.

You expect "remove" to disallow them for the entirety of the session?

[vosmith]

Yes sir, that is what I was expecting. Take a scenario where you are running a session at a hackathon or so and you have a malicious participant. As it stands right now, you would have to create another session and re-invite everyone else to it.

My natural instincts would be to use the remove feature to block that one user without affecting the others.

Got it! Thanks for the feedback!

Happy to help 👍 Our team is super excited about using this more often!

Would be nice to see this feature.
Maybe in two options: "remove user" and "remove & block user", or require new link/code to rejoin session if removed (may be by accident, or when person do not has malicious intent and there were reasons to remove them temporary).

However remove & block by default won't be that bad - easy to create new session for all (if removed by accident).

Version 0.3.317 was just released that implements this request. When you remove someone from a collaboration session, they will not be able to rejoin until a new session is started.
