I have been blocked?

I recently saw 2 people I never interacted with them blocked me. Is this common for someone who is active in forums? Can I count it coincidence or is something wrong? I asked one of them in a forum why they blocked me, but they said they don’t know.

It's possible they accidentally blocked you but really, they would have to verify that

I guess I will just wait if there  is a third person to block me to make sure whether it is an accidental or what. Thanks for you reply.

Did you say something to the users that blocked you that they might not have liked? If so, that must be the reason they blocked you

Like I said, I never interacted with them. I don’t even know them. For example, there was someone in NM coach bill club who I have seen him for the first time. He asked for an advice to improve in a forum, so I wanted to PM him the answer. However, it said to me you are blocked. I asked him, he said he wasn’t sure, and then unblocked me.

This is the forum I meant: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/coaching-and-q-a Check between comment 14 and last comment.

Blocking doesn't prevent you from seeing content.

Perhaps they blocked you because they made some assumptions about your 11 days on site and your rating, and didn't want to play you in the pool.

You had me wonder there. 

But the game lose/win ratio and accuracy rating are not congruent with using an engine.

There is win/draw/lose and the accuracy are all over the board.

Might be using a mobile device that accepted input when it wasn't intended.  That's how butt dials happen.  I wouldn't get too excited about it.

I don’t think this is the reason

So I should count it coincidence?
