What blocking does

From House rules → Threats, harassment, hate — and outing.

Blocking on KinkWeb is one-tap and quiet. The person you block isn't told. You don't have to explain. You can do it from any of their surfaces (profile, post, message, comment).

What changes for them

• They can't see your profile, posts, photos, journals, or events.
• They can't message you or react to your content.
• They can't mention you, invite you to anything, or vouch for you.
• You don't appear in their search results, discovery, or weave suggestions.

They won't get a notification that they've been blocked. They may eventually figure it out from the absence — that's by design; we're not in the business of softening that.

What changes for you

• You won't see them in feed, discovery, search, or any list they'd otherwise appear in.
• Their old messages in your inbox get hidden behind a single "blocked" placeholder. The original messages aren't deleted; you can still view them on demand if you ever need evidence for a report.
• You stop getting any notifications about them.

If you also want to report them

Blocking and reporting are different actions. Blocking removes them from your view; reporting brings the situation to us. You can do one or both. If the situation involves outing, threats, sextortion, or NCII, please report — the block helps you, but the report is what protects everyone else they might do this to.

Unblocking

Settings → Privacy → Blocked users lists everyone you've blocked. Unblock with one tap. The block isn't permanent and we don't keep a public record of who you've blocked.
