Accidentally Blocked Someone

I removed a block last night and it was instantaneous.

It might take days......
It has to be approved.......

Yes they were showing on my blocked list and then I immediately removed them but it said it would take a few hrs

Okay, were they showing on your blocked list? And then you removed them?

I don't actually want to block someone to see if blocks have reverted to being reciprocal, after a brief time of being controllable by the blocking party, but if two people would like to volunteer - one to be blocked and one to collect info from the blockee and potentially tell them to remove their theoretical half if necessary - I will.

Also, both sorillo and I did say the wording on the block notice was confusing.

When I click on their profile is says MEMBER IS BLOCKED YOU HAVE BLOCKED THIS PERSON........But when I go to blocked list they aren't there.....I removed the block but it contuse saying that I blocked them

Since there are no longer reciprocal blocks, if you blocked them, they will show up on your Blocked list in your Friends section and you can remove the block. If they aren't listed, they blocked you.

But, yeah, the wording is confusing.

They may have blocked you, rather than you doing it accidentally. The splash screen always says that you blocked someone, even if it was the other party. Its confusing and asinine, but we apparently have to learn to live with it.

So I accidentally blocked someone and now it won't un-block them? Any help would be appreciated
