Good point, I've fixed that now so that the Follow button is no longer available if the artist has blocked you, and removed all blocked followers from the current list of subscriptions. You can check this out on the gallery of Foes Everywhere:

I'd like to suggest the ability to completely hide a user's posts if you've blocked them - whether it's opt in (like the option in PM settings), or not. If I block someone, I usually don't want to see their posts - so the ability to not have the "View this post" button would be something I personally would like to see.

However, if we make an oekaki post, the blocked user can still see our signature and profile picture, can that be changed?
If they can't see our signature and profile pic on our profile, why can they see it on our forum/oekaki posts? -shrug-

There's no point in blocking this because the user you've blocked could just log out of their account and view your post anyway with the signature included.

Blocking the profile page mostly helps because it's a gateway to begin interacting with you in various ways, and this is a page you need to be logged in to view.

If that's the case, I personally think the ability to see signatures on posts should be removed for users who are logged out, not everyone wants to remove their signature from posts/display their stamp collection instead and at the same time not want blocked users to see it, especially if it gives the user other websites to harass them on. And if users who are logged out can't see profiles, I don't see why it would be an issue if they couldn't see signatures either. Just my personal opinion.

[Nick]

I'm not adding that, because it's largely irrelevant if logged out users can read your post bodies, and the next step after that is a forum which you have to log in to read, which is not happening.

At some point you just have to decide to not post something if you don't want people to read it.
