When someone blocks me in chat, why can I still see their text?
The reason I ask is because sometimes people make a big deal out of blocking me in map chat, and then go on to seemingly have a conversation at my expense in map chat without responding to me. This leads me to believe they did in fact block me and cannot see my text, but I can still see theirs. Is this how it works? If so why?
I’m not trying to harass anyone. For full context a few minutes ago someone stated in map chat and I quote
“this is a little late but…. kitten [name redacted]”
“fingers crossed he dies in a plane crash”
I tried to engage this person as to why it’s wrong to call for the death of others just because you disagree with their politics. I was spoken down to as if I were a naughty child. “Educate yourself” was a phrase they used. It only went downhill from there until they claimed grandiloquently for all to see that they blocked me.
I then got to see a passive aggressive conversation about me between this individual and several others, apparently unable to see any of my interjections. I really don’t care about the behavior itself. I’ve come to expect it. I’m just wondering why the block system seems to work this way. It would be nice if there were some indication as to who has actually blocked me besides sending an awkward test whisper.
From what I know if someone blocks you you can’t see their text. There’s often times when i’ve seen people chatting to no one and I can only assume it’s because they’re chatting to someone that’s blocked me. When I first started playing my friend said someone was making an kitten out of himself in mapchat and I said I couldn’t see it and they sent me screenshots and sure enough that chat was missing for me so I don’t think they really blocked you.
