The block functions sets a dire censorship precedent for Poal. (See full discussion HERE).

I propose that instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

In this way, both parties get what they want.

Shit, must have. If there's even a 1% chance something of value is lost, I agree it's a bad policy.

All it takes it 1% to tilt a level world into chaos.

Maybe we could meet in the middle? Blocked users can reply, the blocker doesn't see a red envelope, and the blocked user still gets a message telling him he's a faggot?

How about a timing penalty: there is a cool-down period before they can reply to anyone when they have blocked users, and it gets multiplied exponentially by each user blocked in quantity.
