To address this issue, we propose introducing a "Block Again" or "Re-Block" feature. This feature would allow users to re-block someone they previously unblocked, while also providing a clear explanation for the temporary restriction.

For users dealing with harassment or uncomfortable professional interactions, this "cooldown period" feels like a safety oversight. It forces you to remain vulnerable to the other person for a window of time (typically 24 to 48 hours) when your intent is clearly to sever the connection again.

So next time, think twice before unblocking that “fine, maybe they’ve changed” connection.
