How do I block someone?
This article may be outdated.
Please continue to the updated article here. Thank you for your cooperation!
You can add someone to your block list a few ways!
If you unblock someone, you will not be able to block them again for 48 hours.
From the Deviation Page:
When you come across a deviation you don't wish to see anymore
When you come across a deviation you don't wish to see anymore
- Click the Report button
- Select "I just don't want to see this."
- That single deviation will be hidden from you without notifying the owner.
- You will then be presented with the option to Block that user.
- You can also click "Unhide Deviation" if you've changed your mind.
From the Settings Page:
- Visit the "Personal > General" section of your Settings page
- Scroll down to the "Blocked Users" section.
- Enter the username of each person you wish to block into the field provided. Do not include the username status symbol.
Once a block is in place, the blocked deviant will not be able to interact with the blocker or their content in any way. The blocker will also not be able to interact in any way with the deviant they blocked. The blocker will also not see any of the blocked deviant's deviations as they browse DeviantArt.
Block Features
- Commenting on each other's personal pages and content such as profiles, deviations, and journals, as well as general replies to one another on any area of the site.
- Notes cannot be sent between blocker and blocked. Personal shoutboxes (if a Core member) and personal forums (if a Core member) are subject to blocks, as well.
- Favouriting of deviations will also be prevented, as well as attempts to add one another to one's watch.
- Blocking will remove both parties from each other's Watch, as well as remove any deviation favorites between both, if applicable.
If you feel that the situation is truly serious, please notify the Help Desk, so a staff member can review the situation and take whatever action is deemed necessary. Please note that if you unblock someone to continue communicating with them, you are unable to re-add them to your block list for 48 hours.
Block Evasion
Using alternate accounts to contact people who have blocked you on another account could be considered deliberate harassment and could result in all your DeviantArt accounts being suspended or permanently banned.
