[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 9001263, member: 57112"] In a thread recently, there was a series of posts that very explicitly stated the following; 1) Poster "A" blocked Poster "B" 2) Poster "B" expressed some confusion over the block 3) An unknown Poster "C" copied Poster "A"s post and direct messaged it to Poster "B" We all know that there are certain ways to circumnavigate a block, but I very distinctly recall reading red text to the effect that copying the text of one person's post to allow a poster that had been blocked to read that person's words is against the forum's rules. Irrespective of the context of that particular thread, this seems very cut and dried. What use is the block feature if people don't have to respect it? Yet, I received pushback when calling out the behavior, and subsequent mod red text failed to even address the block circumnavigation. I double checked the forums rules and nothing is directly mentioned about blocking at all, not even in the section on harassment. Can we receive a clarification on the rules surrounding blocks? I'm very uncomfortable with the idea that this behavior should be considered acceptable. [/QUOTE]
