You cannot block groups that have banned you
Shiguri
I've noticed that you can't block a group if the group has banned you.
When attempting to block a group that has banned you, the big red block button on the blocking dialogue does not respond to a click.
I think people should be able to block any group they wish regardless of their ban status from that group.
Sending this as a website bug since far as I can see there is no way to block groups in-game (or if there is it only exists as a response option I'd guess).
Edit: I realize that I left this uncategorized, oops. I can't change it now, so I hope a mod can sort it. Honestly I'm not sure if this should be categorized as a bug or as a request anyway.
Thanks.

They should fix this, but there's also not much reason to block a group, currently it does almost nothing.
They should really add an in-game option to block groups and make it actually do something meaningful, like blacking out the icon/banner and maybe even hiding their group instances from being shown.

Ѕnowy There's that, sure, I'd be all for it actually doing more. But my current argument is more or less just "if you're going to have a group blocking feature at all, at least make it work".
The group blocking feature is literally just for stopping a group from spamming you invites, more or less. I'll admit I'm basically just using it for the "feel good" of blocking groups that I have personal drama with.
As things are now, I'm not sure if "group blocking" should even be a thing. I kinda feel like the "ignore group invite" button should do the same thing as clicking the ignore button on a friend request - tosses it into an ignore list that you manage from the inbox section of your account on the website (though this is something I think should be made clearer, too).
I guess my thoughts are that if they're going to keep a group blocking system at all, they should make it do more. If they're going to keep it as it is now, they shouldn't call it "blocking" and should just treat it the same as friend request ignores.
I could go as far as saying that this whole "you can't block groups that have banned you" issue could potentially be abused to enable groups to harass people with invites and then immediately ban them so they can block future invites, but I know that's a huge stretch that nobody is probably ever going to actually do.
