Comment (by TehWan):

 Even if Pidgin does not behave exactly like the official client, Pidgin is
 NOT the official client, so it may behave differently. That said, I
 suggest "block" should block the contact, as in, totally blocked. Some guy
 made a program that just keeps on spamming me with offline messages, and
 even though I blocked him, he is not really blocked, it is only an
 illusion. (and reporting the msn admins did nothing at all, they can't do
 anything about it, since i'm not using the official client)

 to block: "To stop or impede the passage of or movement through; obstruct"
 ~answers.com

 So make two different functions ("block status", "block messages") or just
 make one that does both ("block"). That way, the confusion will be lifted
 and I will be able to finally use Pidgin again on that MSN account without
 getting spammed to death.
