Tighten up user blocking in Notifications & Comments

The following bugs are resolved:
* A blocked user comments on a Photo that you have also commented on
  (are subscribed to), and you would be notified about their comment.
* A blocked user comments on a Forum Thread that you are subscribed to,
  and you would be notified about their post.
* Comments by blocked users (on photos and forum threads) were visible
  to you after you have blocked them.
