I can see that they've posted, just not WHAT they've posted.
They can see when i'm online, what I post, what I do etc.
They can PM me & VM me, I still get notifications, but it says they're ignored.
They can continue to bully me, by saying things about me - because they'll soon work out they're blocked, then realise I can't see what they're saying, so go and make some hate thread about me.
Whereas with block;
They can't see any posts I make, VMs of mine, or my profile - so they can't try and bully me on what I post/have on my profile
They can't see when I'm online - so they don't know when I'm next online, and therfore will soon get bored of waiting.
They can't contact me - so they can't try and bully me privately.
