No, it's supposed to work that way. It's doing exactly what it is
intended
to do.
No, it's supposed to protect against block evasion, how is it doing that in this case?
Attempts to edit while you are blocked are attempts to evade the block.
What purpose does it serve exactly?
Protects against block evasion.
Do you realize that if someone doesn't realize that they're blocked and they hit edit it automatically resets it?
Yes.
Why is that "obvious"? Why on earth would you hit the edit button when
you
were banned from editing?
I already explained this a million times now, I was doing it to check the information on the block page again and to see if I could still get the source for a certain page (read only). It'd also be helpful to see when it expires.
When you're blocked, the best idea is to take a break instead. The whole point is for you too cool off and consider your actions.
