When I block someone on iMessage, what stops them from creating a new Apple ID so they can continue messaging me?

Blocked number for two different devices sharing same apple id I have 2 different iPhone X’s currently on my plan. One device is signed into one Apple ID, the one is just using that same Apple ID for text/iMessages ONLY (it has a different Apple ID for the actual phone account) if I block an iPhone number from the device that just uses the Apple ID for messaging will it block the contact from being able to iMessage on both devices?

You can only block addresses, not people by name, so there is nothing to stop them from creating a new Apple ID so they can continue messaging you.
