Hi audiosup,
To clarify, removing blocked contacts from the list would unblock them and enable them to contact you. There's not a feature that would permanently block a contact, yet if they are on the list they are blocked.
For help with the feature check out the information below found in the article here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
"You can also add a phone number or email address directly to your Blocked Contacts list in the Settings app.
- Add the number or email address that you want to block to your Contacts.
- For phone numbers, go to Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts > Add New. For email addresses, go to Settings > Mail > Blocked > Add New.
- Select the contact that you want to block.
When you block a phone number or contact, they can still leave a voicemail, but you won't get a notification. Messages that are sent or received won't be delivered. Also, the contact won't get a notification that the call or message was blocked. When you block an email address from Mail, it goes to the trash folder. Email blocking works across all your Apple devices."
