how to block hand raise during meeting

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @rtrq.

This really needs to be added to meeting. It's a common tactic for bombers to raise and lower their hand constantly to avoid getting bounced. 

Please add this as an in meeting control.

@TwilightHours, I've raised this to Zoom as a Feature Request.  I do not have any insight as to whether or not this will be implemented.

Where is the right place to raise or upvote such feature requests with Zoom?

I'd like to add my +1 there and get those I know who are also frustrated by this to add theirs as well. 

Thanks

We had an occurrence in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Saturday morning. Vile racist CHAT entry and awful adult-only screenshots kept flashing up.  The bomber bouncing around with the raise hand feature.  This is OUT OF CONTROL.  It cannot be a difficult fix. Add it to the Participant Activities list of can/cannot. This SHOULD be simple. We love Zoom, but you must deal with this feature. Allow Host/Co-Host to disable raise hand option.

Completely agree. This has been going on for more than a year. I have requested this change, as have many others. For whatever reason, Zoom has declined to implement it. IMO, the absence of this feature allows bad actors to commit online sexual assault, and this will eventually lead to litigation, if it hasn't already.
