Blocked person does see me (who blocked the person)
needs more information

- Block a person
- Join an instance with the blocked person
- Sometimes the blocked person sees the blocker but not the other way around.
It could be related that i join an instance of a friend, and that friend is still befriended with the person who i blocked.
But not sure if that is always the case, but it increases the likelyhood of happening since we happen to be in the same instance more often.
There is a very old ticket of this issue here
But it seems it was never looked at.

Do you have logs from when this happened?

Blocked person still able to see Blocker

Having the ability to block people is an important part of any social platform. However, VRChat seems to have a pretty bad bug when it comes to this.
The way it should and usually does work is that if I block B, B will disappear for me in game and I can only see them in the 'In Room' list with a black 🚫 symbol. B should no longer be able to see me in the world.
However, due to a bug, it seems like person B is still able to see me, but I cannot see them, either in the world nor in the 'In Room' list. If I check the website, they’re still blocked.
Edit: grammar

Resolved for me by rejoining the instance. I could see and hear a person who had blocked me, but the blocker could only see my chatbox, no nameplate nothing.
IIRC there wasn't anything of particular interest in the logs, and I don't have the logs anymore.

There was a mention in the Open Beta update for 1511.
> "Improved reliability of blocking other users, as well as being invisible to each other (regardless of who blocked who)."
Will be interesting to see if the issue persist.

It was released to public build a few days ago.

I have seen this issue a number of times now.
A person has me blocked, but since we hang out in the same world a lot I do end up in the same instances as them often. Every so often when I join, I am able to see them. I have never been able to hear them, but I don't know if they just happen to not have talked or if voice is still blocked.
I have recordings and logfiles from the times this has happened, but given the nature of the bug, I don't want to publicly share them here. If VRChat staff feel it would be useful, I can share them privately.
A few things I can add to this issue. One of the first times I saw this bug happen, I believe two people that have me blocked were visible at the same time, so it seems to be instance session specific and not player specific. Each time I have seen it happen is when I join the instance they are in, and not the other way around, but this could just be chance. The last time I saw it happen a few days ago but their avatar was an error robot, I rejoined the instance and they were correctly invisible to me after that.
I have no way of talking to the person that has me blocked, so it is not possible to test it with them or compare notes. And they probably wouldn't help me debug it either way.
