Bug: Blocking/Ignoring not possible if the other blocks you

Suggestion----Block should not be permanent but should have a short time frame for reversal like a week. Having it be permanent invites more multi-nicks.
 
Odd, as @thecoder/@botpro has repeatedly posted on ET that he has me on his ignore list. So what's the problem?

I had this dest-idi for a short time put into my ignore list, but since then it's no more possible b/c of this very bug in the system...
 
really...what did Baron do? Just curious.

Ah, I see. This is in relation to Destriero. I believe Baron already took action on this, has he not?

Even if you were able to block him (or anyone else) this doesn't stop them from posting in your thread. They can log out, see your posts, and then log in and access your thread from the forum list menu (which shows all threads) and then type a reply or anything else.

When I block someone, I remove them from my sight and - if I happen to see that they've posted something or some "IGNORED MEMBER" posts in my thread, I simply don't give a shit. That's the point of ignore, isn't it? I'm not going to care what they say no matter what. I'm certainly not going to click on their post to see what they said or log out to see it. If I want to play that game, then I shouldn't click ignore in the first place.

But how could that be fixed?

Just read again more carefully what I wrote.
That abuser is spamming the threads and blocks the thread owners, so that the thread owner even cannot report the spam b/c the system doesn't show the spam posting when he is logged in.

Yes, he still can post. But my problem is about not being able to report the spam in the first place. The system has a bug in that respect.

Like said in the initial posting: the system shall allow to block the other user even if the other user is blocking you.
This step at least would give "equality of arms" for each side.

Yes, true.
But if this bug were fixed then the other side had less possibility to spam, I think.
I mean: first let's get "equality of arms". Then we can see what else is still missing...
