I'd like to remind everyone there is a "block user" and a "block sub" button under every post and every comment. Please use them! You can unblock users by clicking the "blocked" tab on the preferences page, or unblock subs by going to that sub directly and hitting "unblock sub" under any post there.

People not being aware they're blocked is a feature, not a bug. Why should a harasser get to know if their victim has blocked them? I don't want to empower abusers

I would advise not to block anybody. Blocking people makes a person getting into his own echo chamber, which should not be how we use the Internet. Instead, we should report users to the moderators if they spread spam or break the rules of a sub.

Exactly!!!

I've not blocked anyone, and won't.

Is it then fair for someone to spend their time and energy to carefully craft a response to only fall on deaf ears?

Your "feature" is incomplete.
