How do you block
Try actually going to their profile page and clicking on "More" there. Maybe that will work...
I'm not sure, but I think "pronto" is about a six-month wait...
No, I mean try right-clicking on the person's name, then selecting "Open link in new tab" (or something similar, depending on your browser). That should bring up a direct link to that person's profile page. Then click on "More" there.
The only explanation that you're going to get is "there's a ticket in on it". (And that's only because of Martin. If Martin wasn't here, you wouldn't even get that much.) The site isn't very good at communication...
It's clearly a bug that was accidentally introduced when other changes to the code were made by the programmers. I'm sure it will get fixed eventually...well, maybe...
Well, the other mods do stuff like lock threads, mute people, ban people, delete spam, delete cookie-face pfps, etc. But Martin seems to be the only one who's active in "Help & Support".
The mods just may be understaffed, idk. I'd love to know the inner workings of being a mod, but I don't think I'd actually want to be one to find that out. My spidey sense tells me that being a mod may not be a bed of roses... (That is, there are probably some directives from above that wouldn't sit well with me,)
