Shrug.
I have no problem with voluntary blocks if people want them. But I see an issue with compliance. What are you going to do if someone posts while blocked when it's a voluntary block? Double it? If it's not enforced, what's the difference between a block and simply choosing not to post, or changing a password to make it difficult to post? It seems to me that a voluntary block would be relatively toothless without enforcement, and enforcement of a voluntary block hardly seems fair.
On the other hand, I hate to see people try to get blocked for the purpose of being blocked as well. So if a voluntary block would end that, I can see the benefits.
