When blocking someone, block **all** communication

Patrick_

When blocking someone, make it so they cannot look at your account at all. for example, if you block someone, they cant see your profile pic, bio, etc. So basically if you block someone there should be no trace of them besides past messages. if a user has blocked you, they should appear similar to deleted accounts, meaning a default profile picture, randomly generated name, and empty profile, and if you block someone they should appear the same way other than youd be able to see their username (to know who it is you've blocked). This would help with privacy a lot and make sure blocked users stay gone.

    I think this is too extremely and will lead to a lot of confusion to some users.

    What if someone blocks all the mods on a server and starts spamming?

    This could be used for malicious purposes, for example:

    User A sent User B fishy links, threat messages or troubling images.
    User A blocked User B so that User B couldn't identify the person who posted those stuff and warned others accordingly.

    It could also provide confusion, for example:

    Users A and B blocked User C.
    User A sent bad stuff to the server User C moderates while User B was posting stuff.
    User C couldn't identify the offending user and accidentally banned User B.

    Just because you dislike someone and blocked them, it doesn't mean that they should be unable to identify you. But if you still like to remain anonymous from them, there's always the option of deleting your account, although it is not perfect.
