When you go anonymous asking a question, are the people you have blocked still blocked?

I've been responding to questions and the third or fourth question I responded to was anonymous and my submit button wouldn't work.

    Yes, once you've blocked an account, it doesn't matter if you post a question as Anon or not, the user's you've blocked remain blocked. That makes sense. If you don't want someone to respond to your post, posting as Anon shouldn't cause a change of heart on that issue. How YA messed up on that is by allowing the text box to be visible to those blocked users, so they waste time typing an answer instead of seeing no text box, and moving on.

    Somebody on the suggestion-board suggested it be changed, but the suggestion was merged with a not-so-similar suggestion :-(

    Yes, they are still blocked. Going anonymous doesnt change that. If you have the new format, you can go anonymous before posting the question or answer.

  • Yes, they sure are still blocked. Nothing changes except the fact that they can not block you. If your submit button does not work just refresh the page and that will fix it.

    No not really my friend I think most of them are shy or don't want to be recognized.
