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.

It's not that I don't understand it,

it's that I think it's not a solution for the stated problem.

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).

You're right... no one does except you and boobs.

Regardless, unless you are restricting users to only one account (and tracking that) this solution absolutely does not solve the stated problem assuming a user isn't gaming the voting* system.

Why are you doubling down? Alt accounts are permitted as long as they aren't used to target specific users or game votes.

It's not about whether they are allowed to have alts or not, it's about whether the rule solves the problem of abusive new users or encourages abusive new users to create throwaway alts.

You've tried to solve one problem and intensified another.
