Block or report someone

Block someone

Open the menu on one of their messages, or their profile, and choose Block. From then on:

• They cannot message you, nudge you, send you a friend request or ping you.
• Their messages in a shared channel fold away as “Blocked message”.

Changed your mind? Unblock is in the same place.

Report a message or a person

1. Open the menu on the message and choose Report message, or choose Report on the person’s profile.
2. Pick a reason: spam, harassment, hate, sexual content, violence or threats, self-harm, a scam, someone under 13, or something else.
3. Add a note if you want, and press Send report.

Where a report goes

• A message in a space goes to that space’s moderators, and to us.
• A direct message, or a person, goes to us only.
• Moderators never see who sent a report.
• The message is saved as it was when you reported it, so deleting it later does not hide it.

What a moderator can do

Delete the message, time the person out (they can read but not send) for 10 minutes, an hour, a day or a week, kick them, or ban them. A ban can be lifted, and the space keeps an audit log.

In a room without an account

Anyone in the room can press Report this room, and the host can remove a person or end the room.
