Blocking someone

Block, report, or both?

Blocking protects your own chat. Reporting helps us protect everyone. Here is when to use each.

Block when…

  • Someone is annoying you personally but not really breaking rules.
  • You simply don’t want to see their messages anymore.

Report when…

  • Someone is spamming, posting scam links, or pretending to be Santa HQ staff.
  • Messages are hateful, harassing, or not safe for a family-friendly chat.
  • Someone asks viewers for personal information.

How to report

  1. Open the three-dot menu (⋮) on their message.
  2. Choose “Report”.
  3. Pick the reason that fits best and submit.

Elf tip: When in doubt, do both: block so you stop seeing it, report so our moderators can deal with it.
