Just let players decide for themselves who to play and who not.
The site does allow blocking.

Doesnt work. Ive "blocked same guys tens of times and they always end up unblocked.
Check your blocked list immediately after blocking someone - that’ll tell you whether (a) people aren’t being added to your block list correctly or (b) they’re added but are coming off after a period of time for some reason or (c) they’re still in your block list but blocking doesn’t work the way you expect it to work

They are being added. They just dont stay blocked. They will become unblocked at a later time.

Based on what? I just told you how it doesnt work. Just because you havent noticed it not working doesnt mean it doesnt work. Have you tested it somehow?
Try to be constructive instead of just disagreeable.

Let’s test it now - block Lagomorph and confirm he’s in your block list, and then we can check again in another 24 hours
