Report and Block

You are never obliged to keep talking to anyone. If a conversation turns uncomfortable, you can end it in a couple of taps and move on.

Here is how the tools work, when to reach for them, and where to turn for official help if a situation goes further than a bad chat.

How to block someone

Blocking is quick and private — the other person is not told. Once blocked, they can no longer message you or see your activity.

  • Open the profile or conversation in question
  • Choose the block option from the menu
  • Confirm, and the contact stops straight away

Availability of these controls can depend on your account and device.

How to report a profile

Reporting flags a member for review. It helps protect you and others, and you can block at the same time.

  • Use the report option on the profile or message
  • Pick the reason that best fits what happened
  • Add a short note if there is useful context

Reports are looked at by the team, though specific outcomes and timing cannot be promised.

What Is Worth Reporting

Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it is worth flagging even if you are not completely sure. The clearest cases include:

After You Report

Once you have reported and blocked, protect yourself while things are reviewed. Keep any screenshots as a record, stop all contact, and if you shared login details anywhere, change your passwords. It is honest to say a website cannot guarantee a particular result — but stepping away promptly is always within your control.

If money or personal financial details are involved, act quickly. Contact your bank, report to Scamwatch (ACCC), and reach out to IDCARE for support with identity and cyber issues. The eSafety Commissioner can help with serious online harm, and if you are ever in immediate danger, call 000.

Be Kind to Yourself

If someone has treated you badly or tried to take advantage, none of it is your fault. These situations are designed to catch good, trusting people off guard. Talk to a friend or family member you trust, take a breath, and know that reporting helps keep the community safer for the next person too. When you are ready, a quick refresh on verification and photo choices can help you carry on with confidence.
