Blocking Users

Take control of your GatherRound experience.

Quick Summary

  • Block anyone from your profile or event page
  • Blocked users can't see you or interact with you
  • You can unblock at any time
  • Consider reporting serious violations too

How to Block Someone

  1. Visit their profile
  2. Click the menu (⋮)
  3. Select Block User
  4. Confirm your choice

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

  1. Go to their profile (via direct URL)
  2. Click Unblock

Or:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Find Blocked Users section
  3. 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

ActionWhat It Does
BlockPrevents interaction between you and them
ReportAlerts our moderation team to review

You can (and often should) do both.

Remember

Blocking is a personal safety tool. Use it freely — you don't owe anyone access to your profile or events.

Your comfort and safety come first.
