Just an odd suggestion but, if a player is deleted. Is it possible for those who were blocked by the to be allowed to comment on forums created by said player who is now dead? I just so happen to have had that problem and I cannot be unblocked, thus I made the same forum game which no one has responded to lol.

This is an interesting suggestion! I hadn't thought about this scenario before but it's a good point.

I personally can see that if someone deletes their entire account, the block option doesn't apply anymore as there is no more player to protect with the block in place. I can also see the other side of keeping the original thread as it was when the player was still around, aka blocks still being in place, as they still created the topic and it's still in some ways their space.

I suppose a good question to ask is, does a player forfeit their right to retain their 'spaces' on RPR in the form of forum topics and blocks when they delete their account?

From a personal perspective, if I deleted my account and people I blocked suddenly started commenting on my threads because the block was lifted, I would probably feel uncomfortable. I didn't intend for them to have access to those threads for a good reason, and my being absent doesn't change that it's still a space I didn't intend for them. They wouldn't be able to post if I left the site but left my account intact, so other than removing some of my content from the site how does deletion differ?

I totally get your point and it's not up to me to make a decision. I don't even know if this is an intentional feature or a bug to be honest. Just figured I'd give my input, it might be worth thinking about. :)

Yeah, I came to contact with it when trying to respond to an active forum game which someone who had blocked me created. For me it’s in the sense of the block should be lifted, as there is nothing but forum games to respond to in my scenario. And if they see fit to rejoin and block again they can.
