What changes

  • Their Live Chat messages are hidden from you.
  • They are not notified that you blocked them.
  • Everyone else in the chat can still see their messages unless a moderator acts.

What blocking can’t do

  • It doesn’t remove them from the stream or stop them chatting with others.
  • It doesn’t stop them watching Santa HQ videos.
  • It isn’t a report — moderators only find out if you report the message.

Elf tip: Seeing someone impersonating Santa HQ? Our team will never ask for passwords, payments, or personal details in chat. Report them right away.
