Option to show a blocked user's specific post. :rejected:

[Lux]

This may have already been asked before, but could it be possible to have the option to show a specific post of a blocked user, if i feel like reading it in that moment? Right now the only way is to unblock them and re-block them on their profile.

Or open the post in private tabs, browsers, there is no convenient way. The blocking function is not supposed to be easily toggled like what you want. Either block and ignore, or don't block them at all, deal with it.

@MavB_Ver @AbyssalMonkey

it's the declaration

I may have got the block function wrong then, if i block someone will the other one be notified and can't see my posts either?

@Lux the declaration to yourself and the site

I agree blocking someone should be a last resort thing if you truly want to see the other person's post then don't block them simply ignore the post
that rile you up.

You blocked him yet complain when you can't see his posts?
Just... don't block him, then?

@Kanami-chan I'm sure if you use a bit of creativity you can think of circumstances when you're really curious to read them. E.g. if that user posted a controversial post and everyone is talking about it you might want to read it anyway for once, or you just might be curious in that moment even though usually you can't stand to read their posts.

Well, i understand the spirit behind that function, it's supposed to be used as a last resort so it shouldn't be used lightly, i somewhat agree if you put it this way. I just thought that since i can still see the "This post is hidden because you blocked *user*" message, and since i can just go to their profile unblock them and re-block them afterward with no consequence for anyone, you might as well give me the toggle "show the post anyway" to make things faster.

Unnecessary stuff. There are more urgent issues such as futa and other filters. If you want to see their posts, just don't block them. Simple as that. Also the moderated post stuff is only made for SJWs. I set the option to view all posts. All moderated posts I have seen so far are just harmless. Even some of mine get moderated just because people hate the fact why I don't like their mangas.

This. When I made the feature, this exact suggestion did occur to me and after considering it I explicitly decided against implementing it even though I easily could have.

You're supposed to make a decision and stick to it, whichever way you choose. Don't half-dip your fingers in the cookie jar to see if the cookie bites you or not just because you're curious.
