Blocking and unblocking

Blocking someone stops them following you, messaging you or inviting you, and nobody is told. Block from the … menu on their portfolio, from their card in a room, or in Settings → Privacy. It happens at once, without asking.

How it works

• Each of you stops following the other, and a follow request either of you sent is withdrawn.
• A direct-message conversation between you is closed, and neither of you can start a new one. A room invite one of you sent the other stops working.
• Neither of you finds the other in People search.
• Their portfolio shows you This profile is blocked instead of their page.
• Your portfolio is hidden from them: it says This portfolio is not available, and does not say why.

How to unblock

1. 1.

   Open Settings → Privacy.

2. 2.

   Find them under Blocked Users.

3. 3.

   Choose Unblock.

You can also choose Unblock User on their portfolio. Follows are not restored. Your old conversation comes back when either of you chooses Message again.

Rules and limits

• A block does not remove either of you from rooms you share. Leave the room, or report them.
• It does not affect a course either of you teaches or takes.
• To add someone to your blocked list, search for them under Search by name or username to block... in Settings → Privacy.

If something goes wrong

"Failed to block user." or "Failed to update block status…"

Nothing changed. Try again.

"You haven't blocked anyone."

Your blocked list is empty.
