so what happens when you report someone on youtube?

Short answer: Blocking a user will stop them from making comments on your videos or Channel, as well as stop them from being able to contact you through private messages.

Long answer:

"Blocking a user will stop them from making comments on your videos or Channel, as well as stop them from being able to contact you through private messages.

To block a user, navigate directly to their Channel page. On their Feed or Featured tab, you will see a section on the right hand panel of their page which states Created By: UserName. Next to their name is a drop-down arrow where you will see (Block User | Send Message). Click Block User.

Additionally, you can block users through your Address Book. Click on your username in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Select Inbox and then choose Address Book on the bottom left.

If the user you are trying to block is a contact of yours, navigate to the username you would like to block and select the checkbox next to their username. Click the block button up above your Contacts list.

If the user you are trying to block is not in your Contacts list, you can add the Channel as a contact by selecting New, then following the same process described above in order to block that user.

To see a list of all users you have blocked, select Blocked Users in your Address Book.

If you feel you are being bullied or harassed by someone, please see this article on Bullying and Harassment for more information on how to protect yourself."
