Currently users you block can still see your posts, reply to those posts, and trigger notifications when they do reply.

You can read the beginning of messages people you have blocked in your notifications tab, but have to unblock users to see the rest of what everyone else reading the replies to your post can see.

A "blocking" feature that is only inconvenient to the blocker is worse than no blocking feature at all, equivalent to trying to escape a fistfight by turning invisible but actually just closing your eyes.

If they can still see what I post, then blocking is not working as optimally as it could.

Blocking ends the harassement. Is working as optimally as it can. If you are screaming in a public space (because that's what a forum is, every body can enter and take a look) people around you will hear you, like it or not.

If you do not like how forums work, don't use forums. Is the best advice I can give you

still show up in my notifications,

Yeah already said that in the previous comment

(except for the already mentioned notifications that is either a bug or an overlook).

That is shitty advice. Better advice would be, "Post in the magazine specifically dedicated to suggesting improvements to UE and suggest a better way the site could work."
