I do not know if this a bug but when you go into the admin blocks section and attemp to dissable something by making it inactive example site news the object stays active.

Did you check your skin's variables.php file to make sure it's not active because the skin is forcing it to be active?

How exactly would I tell if it is active or not ?

You should read the documentation that I linked you to in the other thread where you mentioned this same issue.  For instance:

For each block status, 0 sets the block inactive, so it doesn't appear. 1 sets the block to active, so that it can appear anywhere. 2 sets the block to index only, so that it only appears on the index page. Setting your blocks to 2 wherever possible is recommended to reduce consumption of system resources.

From https://efiction.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Variables.php

So for instance:


$blocks["login"]["status"] = 2;
$blocks["random"]["status"] = 2;
$blocks["recent"]["status"] = 2;

These are all set to index only. To change them to inactive, set the 2 to a 0. For active, change it to 1. "Active" only needs to be used for blocks that appear on more than just the index page, such as the skinchange dropdown (although this can vary by skin). For anything in variables.php the part in the first set of square brackets will be the name of the block in question, then the part in the second set of blockquotes is whatever the functionality is. "Status" is the name for the inactive/active/index only choice.

And no offense, but you really don't have enough experience with eFiction yet to be diagnosing things as bugs.
