BUMP, also I don't understand how a “block and report” button which requires the person being blocked to have broken the community guidelines or it gets counted as a false report gets more support than one that doesn't alert people for wanting someone blocked because it hurts to see their comments and posts because of something they did in real life.
EDIT: sorry

1. Because the ST does not (usually) take action for things done outside of Scratch.
2. It isn't redundant. It wouldn't bury problems, it would solve them.
3. It would be useful in many scenarios.

sometimes it hurts to see someone who caused problems outside of Scratch trying to comment to you on Scratch without breaking the community guidelines

2. It isn't redundant. It wouldn't bury problems, it would solve them.

I never said it was redundant and I never said it would bury problems

3. It would be useful in many scenarios.

and this would be useful in more

I'm talking about @Za-Chary's Block and Report solution, not this one which would basically be the same thing as reporting.

If the comments don't break the Community Guidelines, the Scratch Team would not take any action.

If you have a situation that is too complicated for the Report buttons, we ask that you use the Contact Us link so that you can explain it to the Scratch Team in detail. That sounds like what you need for a case such as you are describing.
