So what exactly is the purpose in reblocking the original account
that
was already blocked to begin with?
It's a bug and should be fixed.
The sign on the shop door says "Back in five minutes", but every time you peer into the empty shop the shopkeeper gets a snit and waits another five.
No, it's more liked you've been tossed out of the shop for trespassing,
but
whever the shop door says "back in five minutes" you feel a need to go
in
and look around to see if the owner is back. Then when you're tossed
out
again for trespassing, you complain that you weren't planning to steal anything, you were just trying to find the owner.
If the door is locked, you can't go in, no matter how many times you rattle the knob.
Turns out that people keep getting kicked out of the shop for a day for disruptive behaviour, and the doors are automatically locked and their 24 hour ban is automatically renewed when the alarm system sees them trying to get back in wearing different disguises. Now some new guy kicked out for a day for disruption gets caught by the alarm system, and he says "but I wasn't trying to sneak in in disguise and disrupt like those other people, I was coming in openly and making note of your inventory so I could buy it legally when I'm allowed back in". So, he writes 500 abusive e-mails to the owners of the shop, insisting that he has been unjustly locked out, and demanding that the employee on duty at the time should be punished, claming that the alarm system is broken, and insisting that the shop is a disgrace. Another guy who has been kicked out for disrupting the shop has also been regularly writing the owners, generally whining and complaining about how terrible the shop is, how rude their employees are, how they practice favoritism to their regular customers, and how much better are the shops that he frequents. He takes up the cause of the first complainant, making erroneous claims, and insisting that the alarm systems are faulty, and need to be fixed right away so no-one is ever locked out like this again.
What a tragedy. Maybe they should both take their business elsewhere.
