Oh, that's good, then. I didn't know that
TOPIC | Block Users Who Have Us Blocked
if there would be a way to do this without revealing who hypothetically blocked me id like it-- i dont know if this makes sense i don't know how to put it into words :c
like maybe a "bar interaction with users who have you blocked" feature rather than.. having them in your block list? no usernames, no number amount of people who have blocked you. that way you can't see them in the forums and whatnot, but don't have their usernames either?
i feel like being able to generate a list of players who have blocked you could be abused and i feel like knowing how many people have you blocked could lead to trouble as well (i have seen many threads about people complaining about finding ONE person blocked them...)
if i block someone, i don't want them having a way of immediately finding out - not because i don't want them to block me back but because i've had bad experiences personally with people getting upset i blocked them
not on FR, just like in general on social media <_<
hope this makes sense, and fundamentally i support this

@Chespin pretty much has the same concern I do. I think a toggle that blocked anyone who blocked you would be fine, easy, and minimal drama.

^This. I would support an option to reciprocate blocked users without having to know who they are.

Ok, but how would that work when they unblock you? Are they still blocked on your end? How would you unblock if you wanted/need to when there's no way to target a specific blocker and it's just a blanket setting? Or is it permanent and irreversible? Do you have to turn the feature off completely to stop it blocking someone who had at some point ever blocked you?
One of the concerns expressed is harassers blocking their victim and then unblocking briefly to cause trouble then blocking again before the victim can block their harasser in return. If the function blocks [i]permanently[/i] anybody who's blocked you, then you lose [i]even more[/i] control over what's going on.
And it penalizes people who use the block option for personal preference issues and non-conflict reasons (sigs and fonts for example) or anybody who does it by accident or changes their mind later on.
Honestly I think just having an option on the blank "you are not allowed to view this profile page" that says block this user (same as is there on a regular profile) is all that's needed. If you've been blocked by someone and don't know it, there's nothing about that that's going to make you [i]more [/i]likely to find out and if you already know they've blocked you, there's already nothing to hide and it simply gives you the option to block them in return if you want to.
No lists, no notification, just make blocking someone the same process regardless of if they have blocked you already.

I agree with this 110%. If you don't know who blocked you, because of non-conflict reasons, then there is no need to block them back. You probably don't even know they blocked you! There is no notification if a user blocks you or anything, so it's not like there's a list being waved in your face of users who have blocked you. But if you and another user have a fight, and they block you, you [i]absolutely[/i] should be able to go to their profile and block them back.

It'd be nice if it worked like Facebook does, where one or both people can block each other, not just only one of the two.
[quote name="Kuhli" date="2019-02-05 05:23:00" ]There should be a function to let us block users even if they've already blocked you. I am not comfortable with the fact that they could unblock and interact whenever they felt like it, it's very one sided.[/quote]
Full support.
