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

[OptionsOptionsOptions]

When I block someone totally, they are still able to quote my postings. Is there a problem with the block feature?

• You can't block someone when they log out.
• Once logged out it's easy to copy and paste a post as a quoted post.

These are not cut and pasted. I only know about it because I looked at ET without logging in.

Quotes are text that look like

The block feature does not prevent them including those that refer to a specific post by a specific member even if that member blocked you.

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.

My outlook exactly. I don't see posts by Dest and so I'm not sure what the problem is.

What I didnt know whas that an Ignored Member cannot see my posts but I'm not sure it matters. I regard it as a feature.

They can. It is the blocking feature with that effect. One has to be ignored to be blocked too.

Ignore: You can't see their posts.
Block: They can't see you posts.

If a user blocks me, do their posts then appear as 'Ignored Member' to me, even if I have not ignored them?

Yes ... ignored and/or blocked.

I think getting rid of the block/ignore feature would be the best move. We have individuals here who block folks, then log out, take screenshots of their postings and then address the postings. That's a gross abuse of the function.

Yes.

Blind without a cane, Boy?

@Snarkhund blocked me after I called him out on his "worked at Citadel" fantasy. How convenient. Dude couldn't find Citadel with a map.
