I have to say something here, because this is getting ridiculous.
I understand the need for a "block" feature. However it seems as if there are a select few that wish to have their cake and eat it too.
If someone wants to block another member, then that should be it. Bilateral communication should cease. But what seems to be happening is that childish members block people, then periodically unblock them in order to send PMs or post in the forums. Then they close up shop again so as to not receive anything in response.
If someone blocks someone else but then continues to sling insults without fear of retribution, then the block should be taken off. You can't have it both ways.
This whole feature has become the refuge of crybabies who rely on others to pass them notes like a child in grade school, then toss out insults at their convenience before re-instituting the block so as to not receive any in return.
People that constantly block and unblock others should have that privilege taken away. If you block someone then you should be blocked from sending them messages a well.
Yeah. I posted this in the wrong thread, but perhaps there could be a time limit between blocking/unblocking the same person. So if you unblock someone to PM them, and then go to immediately block them again, there could be a message that states you can't block that person again for another 24 hours.

I'm all for a feature like that, but I know that some people only use the block feature in the chat rooms, to block a certain person's images that are not their cup of tea. That's a valid use of the feature I think where blocking/unblocking the same person multiple times makes actual sense.

Perhaps a limit to the amount of times you can block/unblock someone in a certain time period as well?
Either make the block feature more permanent, like a month or more.
And maybe a permanent block button as well.

I experienced this today. You may all guess who it was. But please keep it to yourself, because we don't want drama here of course. But yes, it was that person you were thinking of.

Block a user and miss out on their laughable nonsense? Oh no. Never ever.
I tried blocking myself earlier today and it is actually possible. Took me about 4 hours of blindly clicking around to fix it. It was worth it.
IMHO, blocking someone is a valid act if someone is stalking or annoying you privately. If it's because you have a difference of opinions or someone acts like a fool with name-calling or aggressive remarks in a forum thread, blocking is a cheesy way of responding. Sticks & stones, neener neener, etc...
Someone mentioned retribution or payback. There really is no such thing. It's just venting on a keyboard invisibly on the internet. Sometimes it's fun to poke the bear, but no one is really more badass than anyone else here. It's about communication and socializing.
There is a simple way of dealing with difficult personalities should you desire to. Just ignore and don't respond.
For those that block, don't bother the user you've blocked. Don't quote them saying something playful after they've annoyed you in forum threads.
Don't quote them just to inform them of being blocked.
That's why I call you a whiney cunt.
