Watching a Train Wreck

Well this has been interesting. Had a provider I gave a task 6 hours ago I anticipated would take 30 min. Evidently they summarily logged out of email and skype and started working on it. I've been watching them go now for 6 hours. The screen shots tell the tale they are light years away from where they should be but nothing I can do to stop them.

If they were in the office I could kick them off the computer, power it down, remove thier network access or any number of ways to stop them besides of course just walking over and smacking them up side the head and asking them what in the world they thinks they are doing. Currently the only way to do anything similar in Odesk I can find is to fire them. Any way Odesk could put a "Smack them upside the head" button into the team room. Or at least a send message via Odesk Tools or a big stop button that stops them from logging time for the next 30 minutes so that they wake up and check thier email?
