Can someone tell me how to block someone?

Comments

I did some hunting but haven't found anything. Would be interested in knowing how/if it can be done. Fortunately, I haven't been in your position yet, but it's good to know.
I know you can do it as someone actually blocked me (!) after I politely asked her to desist sending all her posts to me using the share function (I try and use this sparingly myself but she was doing it with every post to everyone in her neighbour list!).
Set your cursor over the person's avatar. A box will come up with several options in it. The bottom option is "Block". Just click on it and follow the prompt. Easy-peasy! 8:-)
BTW, I just clicked on your link to see who you were talking about. I've had no trouble with this person, but blocked them earlier in the day based on one of my neighbors' posts.
thanks on both counts, QFB. Will go and block now.
That's too bad that someone is trying to steal the joy of just having fun with people you know and people you WANT to get to know !!!
Blocking seems better than a blanket "neighborhood only".

Think of all those folk who are yet to discover your excellent contributions.
Ah, thank you, Peter. Hopefully the compromise I have set in place will mean that I can still attract new neighbours but have the discretion of weeding people out I don't like.
Very true LB. it is analagous to the need to have an unlisted phone number these days because of all the telemarketing you get if you don't. Bad luck if someone I like loses my phone number and wants to get in touch. :(
that guy (or girl, who knows) was doing the same thing to me too. I'm complaining to vox about them too, so hopefully spammers like them will be sent packing.
Just deleted someone else from a group I moderate who was spamming in there. Its really getting annoying, isn't it?
Yes. It really too bad, but at least it was easy to block the culprit.
True and a good lesson learned.
I'd send a note to VOX support to give the a heads up on this person
Have done this now, Grant. There are loads of people like this on Vox now though. If you ever cast your eye over the recent posts listing, most of them are just nonsense and probably spam.
oh i hate spammers! they just spoil everything.
glad things okay now that you blocked that person :)
have a good day!
Glad that your blog is "safe" now!
Thanks. Vox has now deleted the whole account. I am sure there are plenty more where taht one came from though. :(
I received a comment from this person too. They also found me on Flickr and added me there. I'm glad to hear they've been removed from Vox.
Creepy. A lot of the comments I received were on my self-portraits which makes it even creepier. Wonder whether I should stop posting in that group.
I'm glad to hear Vox took appropriate action.
That is scary. I hate it when your group gets spammed with comments that have nothing to do with your group. You kind of shake your head. If people think that they are going to get traffic to their website that way then they are mistaken.

It wasn't porn or anything. Just someone in Arizona marketing shadecloth. Extra annoying because most of the group not even in the US.

Yes, I was impressed at how quickly they acted.
Thanks for reporting this. The account has been removed from the system.
LOL! After reading this comment I clicked on your link for scum in questions and saw this comment from Vox, "
The person you’re looking for is no longer a Vox member. We miss them. Tell them to come back."Vox really needs to make up its mind! 8:-)

The initial response from them to me said "Thanks for the feedback! We love feedback!". Makes you wonder what they are on there! :)
