Lemon_Curry: Ah right, 'START CONVERSATION' is greyed out now and I get the proper ’You can’t chat with this user due to their or your privacy settings' message [...]
Isn't it funny that you're supposed to think that I just may have tightened my privacy settings, and all's good? Unless we are befriended, in which case it's simply a load of crap (see below).
Lemon_Curry: [... in the chat (where I still have the option to block you)).
However, the 'BLOCK CHAT' option remains available even though you've already blocked our conversation. :)
Ha!
Of course you still have the option to block me (too) - since we are befriended, you should be able to contact me, so that message basically tells you that I've blocked you or "blocked" you (i.e. set my chat to nobody)*. In which case you go "aargh, that !&?@#!#%&!", so what do you do? You... retaliate by blocking me back! There!
This whole implementation feels like a reflection of how little kids often react when they get into a fight:
- Kid A: You're mean, I'm not talking to you anymore!
- Kid B: No,
I'M not talking to
you anymore!
*unless, of course, I haven't and it's one of GOG's bugs that pop up randomly.
