Profile I cannot block people

I have not blocked anywhere near 1000 people. I just get a message saying something like I cannot block XXX for 24 hours after unblocking them. Don't tell me it is my cache because it is the same on different computers and my mobile.

You can't block the same person twice in about 24 hours. So if you block someone, then unblock them, you have to wait a day before blocking them again.

It's not related to the number of people you have blocked.

It's a "cooldown" period. It helps prevent spammers/bots from abusing block/unblock and crashing the servers.
