Why Can't I Block Someone On Linkedin After Unblocking Them Access

Here’s a draft for a short, engaging blog post on that oddly specific but surprisingly common LinkedIn frustration. You Unblocked a Nightmare. Now LinkedIn Won’t Let You Re-Block Them. Here’s Why.

Maybe it was a former boss who turned every “like” into a passive-aggressive comment. Maybe it was a recruiter who ghosted you twice, then had the audacity to connect again. Or perhaps it was that one connection who treats LinkedIn like Facebook—posting blurry photos of their lunch with the caption “Grateful.”

You blocked them. Peace returned.

You go to Settings > Visibility > Blocking. You find their name. You click “Block.” And LinkedIn says… The 90-Day Purgatory Rule Here’s the not-so-obvious mechanism: When you unblock someone on LinkedIn, a 90-day cooling-off period begins. During that time, you cannot re-block the same person.

We’ve all been there.

Fast forward one week. They’re back in your notifications. They’re commenting on your promotion post. The digital peace treaty is broken.
