At Roblox, we encourage all our players to help us promote an environment that is both safe and fun for everyone. However, we know that sometimes players just don't get along. You may wish to keep certain users from being able to talk to you by blocking them.
When you block another user
- They won’t be notified that you blocked them.
- You won’t be each other’s friend or follower anymore.
- You won’t be able to directly contact (directly message, send friend request, experience
invites and party invites to, etc.) each other.
