DamnCat: Now, when you have a person blocked, that person can't see you on the game site, right?

Right, with one exception. They can see you on the page of the game you're playing with them, while you can't see them. I have reported this bug bazillion years ago, but it still remains to be fixed. :)

And he/she can't invite you to any games nor accept any games that I post to the waiting games?

That is correct.

What about the scenario I described then?

Such a scenario can easily happen. :)

Pedro Martínez: OK, so I can end up playing a game with a person that I have blocked... That's good to know :)

DamnCat: yes you can and it has happened to me....numerous times, and she won all games against me because I left/resigned/etc...

DamnCat: I wish that Fencer would set it up like another game site I used to play in the past.. If I put someone on ignore.. or Blocked in this case.. Then I shouldn't even have to play against them in a tourney. I think if he had that option. A few of the peeps would not have anyone playing them as we would have them on ignore.. aka blocked..

ScarletRose: That would be abused and not fair. What's to stop someone from putting someone who is better at a certain game on block? Never have to play them and thus never lose to them? Tournaments shouldn't be that way.

If you have them blocked you cannot see what they say, what else matters?

rod03801: and suppose you both make it to the final ... what should happen then ?

Hrqls: Right. Can't see how it would have even worked anyplace else

rod03801: I agree. There's no bug about it just bugged out people. Blocked on here or any other game site simply keeps a person from verbally abusing you and also keeps them from grabbing your games in waiting and from sending insulting messages to you. Tournaments and ladders are different ,you still dont have to listen to their crap but could easily have to play them.Remember Tournaments and Ladder games are ranked different than a casual game and thats why you may get stuck playing them. But they will be muted fools though if you're stuck playing them. And if they're blocked why waste your time worrying about what they are doing on the same game site?!

ScarletRose: I think the only fair way would be something that if you put person A on your block list, and both you and A sign up for a tournament, you would be automatically withdrawn. Otherwise, it's too easily abused.

OTOH, I wouldn't mind if tournament creators could have a list of people that are prohibit from signing on. Currently, one can already remove signed up players, but that's an almost impossible task if you have many tournaments.
