4 years ago This functionality belongs to the core component (OssnBlock). The theme does not have enough control over the component to make the changes that are requested here.
Advice is to contact the owners of OssnBlock and request the enhancement, or develop alternative components.
Person A has blocked person B. Person B then is not allowed to see person A's profile but can still see person A's activity on the timeline and reply with comments on their public activity. It should be that if person A has blocked person B, person B should be unable to interact with person A.
Person B is unable to see the history of Private Message conversation with person A. It should be that the conversation is still visible to person B and person A, but that there is no opportunity for person B to say anything more to person A. Therefore, unblock the Private Messages view and block the "submit a comment" field instead.
Person B can still see person A's public posts, and is able to comment on them. Person A then receives a notification that person B has commented on the post, and the comment is visible to person A. Person A's posts should still be visible to person B, but person B should be prevented from commenting on the posts.
The purpose of blocking a person is to remove all opportunity for harassment, not to punish them. A blocked person should still have access to their own information (ie: any conversation or past comments).
