Blocking Users

Take control of your GatherRound experience.

How to Block Someone

Visit their profile
Click the menu (⋮)
Select Block User
Confirm

What Happens When You Block

They Can't:

See your profile
See your events
RSVP to your events
Send you friend requests
View your friends list

Automatic Actions:

Any pending friend request is cancelled
Any pending RSVP to your events is auto-declined
They're removed from your events (if attending)

What They See:

Your profile shows limited info
Your events don't appear in their search
They aren't told they've been blocked

What You See

When you've blocked someone:

Their profile shows "You have blocked this user"
Their events don't appear in your feed
They don't appear in search results

Unblocking

Go to their profile (via direct URL)
Click Unblock

Or:

Go to Settings
Find Blocked Users section
Click Unblock next to their name

After Unblocking

They can see your profile again
They can see your events again
You'd need to re-add them as a friend

Mutual Blocks

If both users block each other:

Neither can see the other's profile
Neither can see the other's events
Unblocking your side doesn't reveal their profile if they still have you blocked

At Events

If someone you've blocked attends the same event:

You may see a warning
You can still attend
Consider the situation carefully

Blocking doesn't prevent real-world encounters at events hosted by others.

When to Block

Consider blocking if someone:

Is harassing you
Makes you uncomfortable
Is sending unwanted messages
Behaves inappropriately

When to Report

Blocking protects you. Reporting protects the community.

If behavior violates our Community Guidelines, please report it too.

Blocking vs. Reporting

Action	What It Does
Block	Prevents interaction between you and them
Report	Alerts our moderation team to review

You can (and often should) do both.
