Answered Block user feature?

Is the block user feature working as intended? A user recently blocked me and now it will not let me reply to any of their comments. It is understandable for them to be able to hide any replies/posts on their end, but it appears that it prevents the post from going through at all.

If this is how this is intended to work I see this as a huge violation of free speech. If not, then it's not working as intended.

I know red baron users can do it, but I don't understand why there has to be a level attached to it. There seems to be no logical reason why anyone should be limited to discussing with other users under a thread.

Due to abuse from new users

What is it that you don't understand in that sentence?

It's not that I don't understand it, it's that I think it's not a solution for the stated problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the following seems like the natural workaround for the rule....

  1. User A creates a new account to troll
  2. User B blocks them
  3. User A creates a new account to chat under User B's posts

What 'new user' problem did you solve?

If you have to ask such question, you then don't understand how poal works (deal with alts).
