<p dir="auto">I assume it would be easier to add a delete option to blocks. Would that work as well? Does it require special restrictions, or can all moderators delete all blocks at any time? Personally I think that would be OK, we trust them with what they do…</p>
<p dir="auto">The reason why it should be easier IMO: Hiding requires to add filter to all the right places, which is quite hard to get right.</p>

<p dir="auto">As a general rule I think it is a good idea to keep documentation for these kind of actions available to the DWG, so I would be against deleting them, and that said it isn't as if block lists are used all over the place, and while I haven't looked at the relevant code for a while, it is likely not more work than making the database query for blocks contingent on such a status flag and moderator status of the account.</p>
