If you delete a user and try to create another with the same email, you'll get an error.
(I think name doesn't actually block it, but the cardtype bug means if you go to invite it will create a user?? something like that?)
I wrote code that should make it so that this doesn't happen. will need to make a migration to fix existing cases.
note, it will still block users who have had invitation requests denied, even though that deletes the Invitation Request card.

You mean, if i block a User, delete them, then create a new user with the same email address, they will still be blocked? (If so, makes sense to me.)

No, nothing that good. If you block a User's account and then delete him, the extension is deleted, and the information about that email address is gone completely.
If, on the other hand, you block an Account Request, it does not delete the extension. I did this because though the card is getting deleted, we clearly still want the address blocked.
We need to do some design work here.

Testing results: Email is fine now. Name-in-trash still blocks - e.g., on Sandbox i deleted Johnny twotwo, then tried to invite a user giving them that name, and get connected to server...done but nothing is created.

now that accounts are in cards, none of these issues should remain.
