Prevent people from paying a resident to bypass a block.

Rathgrith027 Resident
As of this writing, residents can engage in abusive behavior by sending L$ to people who have blocked them. This enables the unwanted receipt of messages from blocked parties using the L$ Pay notes as an attack vector.
When someone is blocked, all methods of communication or interaction should be prohibited at the forefront. People circumventing this are not only harassing people, but exploiting a safety exploit in the payment system to continue harassing people, which given the negligble cost of L$ on an individual level, these attacks could be persistent.

I didn't even know this was a thing but yeah, i can see it being one. How about this? The money gets sent but the comment doesn't, and the blocked griefer never knows that the comment was blocked.

This has happened to me. Please cut off this method of communication.
Rhaevyn Resident
Absolutely agree with this. When blocked it should involve all forms of communication

You can disable payment notification on your side under a given amount with things like firestorm. I don't see the point of changing it server side or whatever. If someone wants to pay me 1000l$ to insult me ... feel free to !

misstoriblack Resident Exactly. I had someone a few years ago constantly send me 1L repeatedly for a few weeks to be annoying. I let them, lol.

Enchant Tripsa it's a pretty big self own if you think about it, i can understand why some people would want it to stop but legitimately i could not possibly be upset by someone literally paying me money to 'troll' me. imagine someone doing that in real life, just standing there handing you one dollar bills and calling you slurs. honestly i'd like lead them on and crash out a little bit each time, just to keep them going.
