On websites that have Disqus commenting system implemented, the Block User button shown by clicking the arrow doesn't respond, unlike the Flag as inappropriate one.
Actually, in the page featured in the screenshot it does work, but I just used it to illustrate the bug as it happens in all other sites that employ Disqus platform.

Can confirm. The workaround is to go to the user's page and block them there.
