Better Blocking features

I have noticed that if a member has blocked you or you have blocked them they can still see your post, and some members have gotten away with copy and pasting things said in these post and trying to post them as their own even though they have been ignored by the member.

However for example, You are Member 1, And There is Member 2, who has blocked you,
Member 1 is looking at wallpost and they see that somebody has shared a wallpost of Member 2,
Member 1 cannot see Member 2's wallpost but they know that it was shared, Member 1 keeps scrolling and they can actually see member 2's wallpost, they and their friends decided to copy and paste part of the wallpost and they post it on their profile.

I think PMC would be much better if blocked members could not see Your post, replies, and the rest of your actions on pmc, infact it may be even better if you could not even view comments of who you have blocked.
This was inspired by recent events and conflict caused by a group of members targeting the wallpost of a member who had half of them blocked, infact the ones they did block were the ones who were the first to do this action,
I believe none of the conflict would have happened if Both members had never seen eachothers post.

  Have something to say?

Our block system tends to come up a lot as something that needs work. I agree, and I think we should have more options, but we just have to be sure it's not going to affect other things. Don't forget that it's fairly easy for people to get around these blocks too - have a friend send the text, or use an alt account (or log out) for instance, but obviously we'd rather not encourage the latter behavior...

To me what we need the most is for 1, members do not see the comments of those who have blocked them or been blocked by them, and 2, members cannot ping members they have blocked or been blocked by.

Ive noticed many members cause a storm before getting moderated because of the time it can take moderators to take action, and people in the feed see stuff happen in almost a few minutes, so it can cause a chain of members causing problems, and I know there are people who cause problems, and they have chains and chains of friends who let the problems roll across them to the next person like a conveyor belt, and at the end of those problems moving across member by member it falls right back on the person who is accused.

Made this public since it gives our community a chance to weigh in here. I definitely think our block system needs to do more than it does.
