Description
There are a few of you who may think that this is a good thing. But you know what I think? It's not. I'll tell you why:It used to be that when you block someone, they just can't reply to your page. But for some reason, dA thought it was a good idea to update it so that people can't reply to you AT ALL. ANYWHERE. It may sound good at first but if you really REALLY think about it, it will backfire and create even more drama.
It is possible for trolls to abuse this updated block feature and spam your page with multiple sockpuppet accounts that you can't reply to because you're blocked. "So what?" You say, "you can just block back or report them." True. But what if this happens to you?
Also, what if you wanted negotiate for a diplomatic solution (or in simpler terms, talk it over)? There has to be at least some way to put an end to the drama if you wanted to end it. "Oh, if you get blocked, chances are you deserved it and don't deserve second chances." Butthurt anti-second chancers can eat a dick for all I care. I believe in second chances, but I also believe in taking responsibility for your own shit. So fuck you to butthurt anti-second chancers.
TL;DR: The updated block feature sucks and will only do more damage than good.

If you block, you shouldn't be able to talk to the person you've blocked.

You mean like if you block someone, it wouldn't allow you to talk to them?

To be honest, I'm not one to usually complain about what they do.
There's a few things I agree with and a few things I don't agree with.
The updated blocking system I definitely don't agree with.
