Nasty Bug (block -> ql crash -> disabled account)

[insect]

Someone has to report the bug, I as an insect feel obligated to do it

After the big update there are a few database problems, like the problem with played maps stats

I _suspect_ this sudden horde of blocked players may also be a database bug, as the scheme is very similar:
block a player -> ql crashes -> remove the block -> your own account gets disabled.

Are you in Linux? It's an old bug. Most Linux users here know not to use the blocklist. If you're a paid subscriber put in a ticket to clear your block list.. or send an email. support@quakelive.com

OSX. I knew about the bug too but thought it would be fixed by now (years?). It used to work as expected. The blocklist can also be cleared by logging in with another computer...

Well, let me guess: Windows - blocklist works; Linux - blocklist broken; OSX - blocklist broken. Hmmmm.... CR/LF conversion problem?

*ping* *ping* *ping*
Wazzup? No one uses Linux anymore? Not even the devs? No fix for blocklist problems, weird bot movement etc. in Linux client? *Whimper* ...so sad... the penguin is dead... or?

That's 1 year old thread, I unblocked someone lately without any problems (in Windows).

This is a Linux specific issue that happens when you unblock a player. There is currently no preventative fix for this, but if you experience this issue we can fix it for your account. You will need to open a support ticket.
