This is very strange behaviour that because another user blocks you, your enjoyment for the forums is impacted.
This isn't a problem if the person who has blocked you doesnt post much, but if they are a prolific poster it is a problem.
Many threads on ET often don't make sense because certain prolific members have me on block. As many posts and/or quote fragments on these threads are missing.
Could we please at least have some blurb, that instead of just hiding blocked text, instead says 'you cannot see this post or quote because you are blocked from reading it'.
Actually it doesnt even have to be post based, it could be just a warning on the top of each page something like 'Please Note: Some of the posts below are missing or incomplete because you are blocked from reading them'
I am not asking for the other way, where it says you cannot see this message because you have person X ignored. I can see why you would not want to even know someone you have actively ignored has even posted.
I am talking about when you are blocked by someone else through no action of your own. In this case I DO want to know if i could be missing relevant information on the thread. Otherwise i am wasting my time reading those posts.
