Chuck, can you indicate as a reason "unavailable" and leave it at that?

But I agree with you--it's no one's business why I block a date, especially if you have to deal with vindictive assigners. Thankfully, my assigners are understanding, but a former assigner was unforgiving if you worked for other people. If you told him (let's call him Assigner A) you had a previous assignment from Assigner B, you might find your entire A schedule retracted.

I've always thought that Arbiter considers officials an afterthought. This "reason requirement" seems to me a similar dismissive attitude by ZebraWeb: it may be of use to assigners, but offers no benefit to officials.
