Block Feature Issue

iserith · Apr 5, 2018

Hello [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] -

My understanding is that the block feature is two-way. If I block someone, I can't see their posts or respond to them and vice versa. While that does appear to be working for posters that have blocked me, it does not appear to be the case for posters I have blocked. They have been able to view and quote my posts and I have also received PMs from posters I have blocked. Would you kindly take a look at this for me? Thanks in advance for your help.

It's easy to view posts from someone who you've blocked/has blocked you: log in as a guest. To quote said posts: cut-and-paste is your friend.

Other than completely blocking guest users from viewing the forums I can't see how anyone could prevent this.

I think we probably need a rule to prevent it. We can’t stop it on a technical level, but taking the effort to log out and cyberstalk and quote somebody who has used the privacy features to block you is pretty much the definition of harassment.
