What does blocking on kbin actually do? I’m asking because it seems incomplete, to put it mildly. If you block someone, they can still see what you post and reply to you and you’re still sent notifications of their replies, even though you can’t see the comment itself (or any replies other people make to comments of an account you blocked). Plus, I blocked someone who was spent the last day downvoting literally every comment and post I make, and they’re still able to see and downvote my replies and posts. So what exactly is the point of blocking, if it doesn’t actually block people? Is this something that’s going to be fixed in the future?

EDIT: Oh, hey, the irony, the person I blocked was able to see and downvote this post. Which just proves my point, I suppose - block is either busted or what it actually is for needs a lot of clarification.

    I feel like blocking someone should make it so they can’t see your posts or respond to them at all, and at the very least so you can’t see anything they respond to or include you in without it being your choice. Right now, it’s almost the opposite. You can’t see their comments, but they can still see and interact with you, and the system lets you know they have, but leaves you with no way to react other than unblocking them. That’s not at all how it’s supposed to work.
