Staff are looking into that but I believe it's a bug with the message and you actually hadn't previously blocked the member.

When the opponent blunders hard. Like a queen. Then they sit back and let the clock run down. I report them as stalling and block them. Block them for reason being not wanting to play this person ever again.
Today same thing happened. The opponent blundered. Then left the clock run out. I reported stalling and blocked them. But got the message that the user is already blocked! WTF?!
Don't pair me with people I block. Deja vu. Same exact situation with the same exact user. This could have been easily avoided if blocking would not match in open match or report stalling reports would not be sent to the garbage can.
Reported for stalling can be easily automated. Do engine analysis when reported for stalling. If the engine says they blundered and got reported for stalling. If this repeats more than a few times -> ban for a month.
You're the world's biggest chess website. I'd expect better from you guys. For starters get the block system to work right.
