If you block someone or are blocked by someone, currently that person can mention you in the forum. They can also comment on your topics. Is this a bug or by design, it feels problematic.
@michuk It's weird that I've still been getting notifications from someone I blocked aswell.
Once you block someone you won't be able to talk to each other again. But you'll still be able to talk to one another on the forum. It's like blocking someone on Messenger. You and that person wouldn't be able to talk personally but on the group chat you'll still be able to do so.

You know what's problematic? Your use of caps for any word.

Why does it feel problematic? It doesn't to me.

@michuk,
It's understandable why it feels problematic and why it's possible for this to happen.
When you have someone blocked, you've only prohibited that person from reaching out to you privately, not publicly.
Whenever you get into a forum, you're strictly stepping into a public room, not a room for two individuals as you know. This may seem like an easy work-around for them but according to how lichess has been programmed, they have every right to say stuff on your own thread. They could even create their own thread and try bringing you into it by calling you out.
As annoying as it can be, it's technically allowed. At least until lichess expands the blocking functionality to both private & public instances, so to speak

If I block someone, I don't want to play with them anymore. I don't care if he mentions me in the forum or if I see his postings. We are not on facebook here.
#7 Blocking still doesn't prevent from getting paired with these players in tournaments,but in lobby you are welcome to just get a different player :)

I like how you break it down and it makes sense, it really does, just feels like that the person you are blocking could create 10 topics and mention you in each one and in each post they make and troll you out of existence.
It is why I have cancelled my monthly patronage to this website.

Well i'd ignore the trolls if I were you, bud. It may be impossible to keep the trolls away currently but eventually lichess will fix this. I for one actually trust them.
They aren't perfect. No one is. In fact they want & need users like us to point out their flaws so that they can fortify the platform.
So, you don't have to discontinue your monthly patronage.
Cheers
