I had made a version of the staff block that did exactly that, as well as some other improvements with interaction. I'm not even sure why that didn't get used.
My thinking at the time of doing that was seeing things in Trivia where there were blocks all over the place and depending on your font type and size, often it overlapped other blocks. It's not a fix to the problem, but it's definitely a way around it.
As Demisis said, there is information that can simply be stashed in the News GUI which has been moulded to do what it's typically meant for: Informing people, and making itself clearly visible when a new version of the information is added. What is on that block is a perfect example of what belongs in the news section of the GUI. It wasn't designed to just sit there and look pretty.
