View submission: What we’re working on this year
The way the block feature works feels like it was designed *for* exactly that kind of abuse. And if you *do* attempt to respond, somewhere in the thread you only get a "failure" message with no explanation why. I see many comments (usually edits on comments) of users confused about what is going on.

I can't help but follow the money on this since admins seem to refuse to discuss this. It seems to me like this was implemented to shut down people responding to corporate entities negatively. I honestly can't identify any other reason this change was implemented since it seems to be less useful even as an actual blocking tool.
