It doesn't make sense in the case said blocked user is attacking the user who blocked them, but on the case were the user that is blocking is the offender too makes much more sense.
For example, one could make a post with misinformation about a user and then blocking the target so they can't reply.
I guess this protects someone being wrongly accused of something and the accuser blocking the accused(hiding). But it leaves more vulnerable users being targeted by another user that for some reason isn't breaking community rules.
So I have to unblock and permanently have to be a reporter in hope something changes?
Tbh that would triple the work for admins...
Why do you need to see what this person is saying after you've blocked them?
Good question...
Not sure what the best course of action is, perhaps just reporting, then blocking and hoping moderators make justice.
Dunno either, maybe just confronting...
