A lot of new players (myself included) are coming from Tumblr, where its pretty common to block people to prevent drama if you can tell that there'd be a big personality clash. I know it seems a bit immature, and it might be, but for That website at least (where theres minors) its a good habit to get into to prevent a lot of stress. Maybe its just the tumblr folk doing that still?Seconded. I would worry about limiting blocking people because I think people deserve the right to curate their online experience into something they enjoy, but I also realize what works on tumblr won't work here since this is a totally different site. Tumblr is about content sharing and Bimboland is way more focused on socializing. I think having people write the reason they block someone, maybe with a list of pre-written common reasons to block someone and then an 'other' option where you write the reason if it isn't on the list, would help.
Or like others said, its by accident. I saw another thread where people say that its apparently decently common that accidental blockings happen.

But if someone blocks someone because of voting on debates or fights is this considered cheating then? And if so do you (as in anyone who wants to pitch in with their thoughts) think blocking should still be allowed in a situation like that, or is it unfair? I'm really conflicted because on one hand obviously cheating sucks and should not be tolerated, but also if stopping cheating affects others' ability to make themselves feel comfortable in an online community that's bad too...
