Removing the Bad, total block.

One of the biggest things that bugs me is seeing people who were blocked. Seeing '1 message blocked' every time they post a message. The whole point of blocking someone is to see no evil, hear no evil and say no evil. By showing them and their things, this can still cause problems and we all know the internet is a small place. If you block someone, they should cease to exist to you.

At the very least one should have the option of choosing what content they want to see from the person they are blocking. For instance:

'Do you want to stop them from DMing you'

'Do you want to stop seeing their messages entirely'

'Do you want to see their name?'

'Do you want to see a notification of blocked messages'

'Do you want to see them in voice?'

'Do you want to hear them in voice'

'Do you want to block them entirely?'

Asking those kinds of questions means people have options. It gives people a sense of control and lets them filter. It also puts those options in one location and if you choose more than one option, save in an entire block where all options are selected, centralizes options available. Sometimes people want to do certain things instead of all the things at once. Could also throw in a selection if how many days or weeks etc someone wants to do this for. Sometimes it makes it easy for heads to cool and get a point across and in such a way that one doesn't have to think aboit it say, a week or more later after you feel ready (if at all) to deal with it again.
