    Does it take long for Google to generate more relevant and better sitelinks if you have blocked quite a few of them? Thanks :)

    sometimes, what do you mean by "long"
    should have something new within a month, just build links & traffic to the pages you want shown.

    Just a timeframe like you mentioned :D Our first set of sitelinks came up and to be honest only two of them were worth keeping as the others were to members profiles so I blocked those ones in hope something new would replace them.

    I'm having a different issue: We've had sitelinks for a couple of weeks now, but they aren't even appearing in my Webmaster Tools console, so I can't even get rid of some of them. How long do I have to wait to be able to do that?

    It's hard to say, as long as you have a sitemap and your site is verified in webmaster tools, all you can do is wait.
    I know it's not the answer you wanted, but it's a game of patience now :)

    It seems to be common with fairly newly added sitelinks, it is as if they are the profiles that get the most hits.
