How can I block someone from messaging me? I asked him not to message me again, but I'd like to be able to block him.


Thanks everyone!

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just quickly, in passing ...

    Hopefully, the "Moderators" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" (Personnel) ] will contact you through a "Private" Communication, to help/assist you directly.

    Short Answer: 'Yes', you CAN "Block"/"Mute" another User/Patron 'Messaging' You.

    For starters ...

    FIRSTLY ...

    In 'Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'

    There is a way to STOP another User/Patron from sending you, ("Private") 'Messages', in "User Messaging", of 'FamilySearch'.

    Here is a "Knowledge Article" in FamilySearch':

    How do I mute or block someone from messaging me?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-mute-or-block-someone-from-messaging-me

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-mute-or-block-someone-from-messaging-me

    And, here are some other "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

    What are the rules for discussions and messages?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-the-rules-for-discussions-and-messages

    How do I report abuse, spam, inappropriate memories, and other content?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-report-abuse-spam-inappropriate-memories-and-other-content

    SECONDLY ...

    In this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum

    Where, it is called, "Ignore" ...

    Select your "Avatar" in the TOP 'Right-Hand-Corner' ...

    On the 'Drop Down' Menu, select "Edit Profile" ...

    On the "Edit Profile" page/screen that appears, select "Ignore List" on the 'Right-Hand-Side" ...

    On the "Ignore List" page/screen that appears, enter the "Contact Name" of the User/Patron, select OK.

    Done

    Pictorially ...

    I hope this helps, to start with, somewhat.
