When you block a user: * If they reply to a comment/post, you do NOT receive an orangered, and * see NOTHING in your inbox. * If they PM you, you do NOT receive an orangered, but the PM WILL show * up in your inbox, with all fields replaced with the text "[blocked]". * It's not readily possible to keep it out of the inbox while leaving it * in the sender's sent box; and it needs to be in the sent box so that * they can't tell that you've blocked them. * You may not PM or make a comment reply to a user that you've blocked. * This is to prevent abuse of the system by pre-emptively blocking a * user and then sending them a series of harassment messages. At present, the only way to block a user is from your inbox; if they PM you or make a comment reply. There is a new "block user" button. Unblocking a user can be done via /prefs/friends. This is to keep 'blocks' from being used commonly; in general, we prefer to encourage the use of the downvote arrow for bad comments, and leave user-blocking for true harassment scenarios.
