Depends which game mode. If it's All Any, anything goes! But the Normal modes? Here is why it is frowned upon. Let's say you're playing Classic. Your job is pretty much to stop the killing roles from killing, right?

You roleblock the Godfather night one.... The Mafioso can still go out and kill. You roleblock the Mafioso night one... Godfather can still kill. You roleblock the Serial Killer. Good job if you wrote that you roleblocked him in your Last Will! You had a 1 in 14 chance of that happening.... Of course, maybe the person you roleblocked didn't actually kill you. Maybe the Serial Killer simply targeted you... Uh oh. Now the townies are about to lynch an innocent person on Day 2! D'oh! It's good to give at least one night before roleblocking. In Classic Mode, ideally it's best to wait until the Godfather or Mafioso is dead because if you roleblock a person and there are no mafia deaths? Oh ho ho! You may have found the bad guy. Or maybe an Investigator claims someone is covered in blood and could be a Doctor or Serial Killer. Feel free to check that out. Maybe you decide this person is shady and you want to roleblock them to see if they are the Serial Killer.

But yeah... Overall, you really don't want to prevent an Investigator, Sheriff, Lookout, Doctor, or possible Random Town person from doing their job. Let them have a night to gather notes.
