I’ve only ever blocked people when they’ve been exceptionally abusive to me. Repeated messages and friend requests don’t bother me. Just ignore and move on. |

I rarely block people, and only if they're utter twatwaffles (apart from a few who I knew many moons ago in a previous incarnation on here who I don't want to fraternise with now) ...I generally just ignore. So to answer your question, I might forget the exact ins and outs over time time, but I know they will have been an arse at some point for me to block them. |

"Do you see a profile, perhaps on the forum, and then realise you blocked them.... but have no idea why? "
Yep, usually it's because they're some "just our preference" bigotry in their profile. Which is always a shame when they seem really nice otherwise. |

If the profile requires blocking I add a note to it as a reminder then block. It can be very awkward when you run into the person behind the profile at a party, maybe years after blocking them. That works vice versa too  |

But then there's no way to read the note unless you unblock them! So many awkward issues around here seem to be rooted in outdated and poor website technology |

I particularly like it when you get folk complaining that people they’ve blocked can read and respond to their posts in the forum. The meltdowns in the politics forum are spectacular to witness |

I block profiles where I know that i am not going to get along. Sometimes I find a comment on a post that I like and realised that I have blocked them (or they have blocked me). I haven’t figured out an easier way to say which is which in the last 8 year or so |

Your notes are the one thing you still have access to on a blocked profile. |
