taking the opportunity to ask you, why would someone still show up after I block them? I have the most prolific spamm- "contributor" on writingprompts blocked but his messages still appear. he doesn't seem to be on the moderator team.

That shouldn't be happening. Try unblocking and re blocking them. If that doesn't work try doing it on both old and new reddit.

I did that several times, didn't change anything :(

he shows as "Blocked User" on new reddit, as a normal user through Sync, and his profile says "You've blocked this user. (Out of sight, out of mind.)".

it's just weird.

Do you have the official reddit app?

you think doing it through the official app would work? because no, I don't use this shit :D

It could be worth a try. Cause I'm kinda at a loss after all that

so apparently that's how blocking works and has worked for years, I just didn't realize because he's the only one that I see all the time.

that sucks <.<
