For the sake of argument we could assume a ratio of one active participant to ten inactive non-participant readers. The troll only has to block the one active participant in order to reach the ten readers unchallenged and uncorrected.

Yeah, fair point. I'll have to think about it some more I guess.

But IRL a restraining order blocks both parties from seeing each other, or even being within distance of each other, so it does seem weird to allow the bully to watch the person being bullied even after blocking, which is how ours is currently configured.

But I see your point about people abusing it to shut down any dissent in their threads. If only there was a way to differentiate between the two situations...
