How do you block a specific user?

Favorite Answer

I am assuming that you are asking about how to block a user here on Yahoo! Answers so that they can't send you email using Yahoo! Answers internal email system.

Hover your mouse pointer over the persons avatar that you wish to block.A small window will appear.Click on the small blue link that says "Block User".Click on "OK" when the 2nd window appears.

When you block them,if they click on your avatar and go to your profile page,the link that says "Email Dalton's Mommy & #2 due 2/11" will appear Grey to them,not blue,and it will say..."User does not allow email"This is what they alone will see.There will be no active link for them to click on.To me and other members,your email link will appear in blue and is active, so we can email you if we wish.

Also,if they try to add you as a contact,they will get a message saying..."You cannot add this person to your Contacts at this time."They won't be able to connect to you unless you remove the block on them.They also will not be able to view your questions and answers from the past and will not be able to answer any questions that you ask from the time you blocked them.
