And when you appear offline, your client doesn't request for DP's so that's out of the question.
yes, but it seems that it is the
only way you "can" check if somebody blocked you. (unless you actually go and look at their list at their home or something
). you can't really call it the worst way, since the bug in msn's protocol has been fixed there is no other way to check blocking.
also, it is true when you sign in offline OR change your status to offline the client does not request the dp.
so if you want to check if somebody blocked you, you both have to be online at the time
and it is best that you have a display picture. also, the person has to open your window. (there is a possibility of getting a notification when the client requests your dp, this has been already discussed in this thread though). i know it is a very limited way of detection, but there is no other way.

There is no plugin to tell you if you have been blocked now. It's gone, it used to be in MD. You can use block checker websites, but as it has been said they are not accurate. It has worked for me sometimes, but not always.
this option is still in md
check their
feature's page
also, the reason why the sites which determine whether or not you have been blocked sometimes work, is because the contact who has blocked you has the "Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages" option left unchecked.
