The problem is it doesn't really resolve the issue of it causing arguments just because you can have your notifications turned off but the people you block still have the ability to:
1. Block you back and use the blocking feature to send you abuse (which has been anecdotally raised as an issue several times
2. Start fights on the forums because you can still interact with one another, it just limits some other features

Not only this but a lot of people don't realise that a message goes out to the blocked party when they do block somebody which has caused other problems. If it's that somebody makes you uncomfortable and you want to be shielded from that, it offers you none of that protection as it doesn't work like block features on any other sites.
If you turn them off the 1st point isn't a problem anymore btw. If they block you back you don't know it if the block messages is off so you don't get the reason either this way. 
And why you would be bothered by the fact that someone you blocked blocks you back.

But the person can still come at you on the forums and harass you which many users have reported is a problem. Is there really a need for people to be alerted if they're blocked? It just causes problems.

Maybe I'm wired diffrent but I couldn't be bothered less if someone blocks me. If they decide to adress me in forum I just scroll over and don't bother myself to even read what they have to say.

I just don't see the functional benefit of a blocking system which alerts the blocked person (who is blocked because you don't want to interact with them) that they've been blocked, often prompting them to start drama across the forums which has happened on more than one occasion this week alone. What is the benefit of doing this?

It's nice for you that you don't care but for the rest of us, it's annoying when threads derail and many of the arguments which occur in the community are entirely avoidable if the feature didn't work in a dysfunctional manner to begin with? It literally only causes problems.

This game is full of drama and it's intended to be this way. This is the only purpose of this function: to generate drama, and it works. This has been talked about in various PB terms and it's not something that Team Bimbo wants to change.

I just tested it to make sure. I had my friend block me and include a reason while I had my block notifications turned off. I did not receive any message after she blocked me. Lol we didn’t know you have to wait 24 hours to unblock someone, so that was funny. Anyway, wanted to confirm that the feature where you can turn off block notifications does work. 

Just to give a perspective on why block notifications can be helpful sometimes. I had block notifications turned off for a long time because I was like “oh well, haters gonna hate blah blah blah.” But then I noticed someone who blocked me continued to spy on my page repeatedly. Whether it was their intention or not, it was creepy behavior to me. So I blocked them back, because my only option for communicating with them and telling them to fuck off was via the block feature (although, maybe they also had block notifs turned off too). Not claiming it was the perfect solution, but they stopped spying after that. 

anyway, just sharing my perspective. Not trying to invalidate anyone else’s experience. I’m sorry to hear this feature has caused problems for others :(

You know with a functional blocking feature which works like other websites' blocking features, you wouldn't have to feel creeped out by somebody looking at your profile because they'd not be able to see it.

Also just want to note the block button states "Blocked Ximbos can no longer interact in any way." which is not true. They can still view your profile, posts and harass you on the forums if they want to. It's misleading. I'm just saying, I've seen plenty of people state they want a more functional blocking feature and I've seen several arguments which wouldn't have happened if it worked like the blocking features on other platforms.

Edit: Sandi, this entire discussion is around how that doesn't actually resolve the issues arisen, it's on the past couple of pages of the thread.
