What purpose do blocks serve?

Posted by mist on August 14, 2002, at 14:31:40

For the most part blocks don't seem to serve a useful purpose. My impression is that most posters here are sensitive to getting a PBC and blocks are not necessary except for the most egregious civility violations, which are rare. Blocks are often overkill and create more problems than they solve. So I'm sincerely wondering, what purpose are they supposed to serve?
