It's not quite a new feature, but more like reversing an old decision.
I was trying to message a reader in regards to a review placed on my story (it read way more like an angry rant than a review), and wanted more information. But the entire profile was blocked, preventing such a thing.
I understand the want to protect your own information, but being unable to contact someone at all feels a bit excessive, especially since they can still post whatever they want. It's entirely one-sided. I mean, if you prevent receiving messages, I could understand not being able to post any comments and reviews as well, but as it is, there's no way to privately talk to someone regarding something they posted unless if they initiate it.
Could profile blocking be reduced in severity to only not allowing the viewing of your information, rather than outright blocking all communication?
