Can the "Block User" feature block profile comments from a certain user?

If you block someone, they will not be able to message you, invite you to clubs, or send you a friend request

^Is that really all the block feature does?

I mean, does it block users from leaving comments on your profile as well? I know it doesn't block users from viewing your profile (according to the threads I've read) but I've never seen anyone specifically state that the block feature can/will block profile comments from a certain user.

"Not be able to message you" includes both PMs and comments.

Has the suggestion of expanding that to include all content from them (comments other people's profiles, forum posts, recommendations, reviews etc.) ever been brought up?

Seems like something people might put to use

Probably has, but blocking forum posts can cause problems while posting, you might say the same thing as someone else or whatever. And you can just ignore recommendations, reviews, and other people's comments, it just sounds like it would make the site very inconsistent in look.

I believe the blocking function is meant to block from harassment, seeing someone's review wouldn't be called that.

If you're that keen on blocking people's forum posts, you can do it through this: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=118125
