Blocking and un-following
2009-11-19T17:13:01-08:00
<h1>Blocking people on Twitter</h1>
<p class="Verdana">Blocking someone instead of removing them means that not only do you not want to follow them, but you want to deny them the ability to follow, send you tweets, and put your account on their lists. Blocking is done from actions section in the person's profile sidebar. </p>
<p class="Verdana"><img src="/attachments/684928" border="0" alt="Alissa__alissa__on_Twitter.jpg" /></p>
<p class="Verdana"> </p>
<p class="Verdana">Blocking someone means that you (and your pic) will not appear on the blocked party's profile page, friends time line, badge, or anywhere else. The person will not be notified that they've been blocked, and they will be unable to follow you. If your account is public, the blocked party can still view your profile page, but can't receive your updates in their timeline or on their phone. </p>
<p class="Verdana"><img src="/attachments/684918" border="0" alt="Twitter.jpg" /></p>
<p class="Verdana">To block someone on Twitter:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Log in</strong> to Twitter.<br /></li>
<li>Go to the <strong>profile page</strong> of the person you wish to block.</li>
<li>Click<strong> Block</strong> (under actions panel in the sidebar)</li>
<li>Click <strong>OKAY</strong> to confirm the block</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p class="Verdana"><span class="Verdana"><strong>Is it reversible? <span style="font-weight: normal; ">Yes. If you change your mind, you can easily unblock
a person by following the same steps. The link, of course, will read
unblock, instead of block.</span></strong></span> </p>
<p class="Verdana"> </p>
<h1>Un-following people<br /></h1>
<p>Sometimes the following list gets a little unwieldy. Luckily it's
as easy to UN-follow someone as it is to follow them. Removing someone
from your following list means that you'll no longer receive their
updates on the web or on your phone.</p>
<h3>Unfollowing from your following page</h3>
<p>To trim down your list, visit your <a href="http://twitter.com/friends">following</a> page
to stop following more than one person at a time. </p>

<p> </p>
<h3>Un-following from the profile page</h3>
<p>Remove a specific
person by using the follow drop down box on their profile page.</p>

<p>Although you can't stop following someone's web updates from your phone, you can
stop getting their updates via text message by sending LEAVE username, or OFF username, from your phone, like so:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">off candice<br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">leave candice</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Even if you stop getting someone's device updates, you'll still see
their updates on the web. Before you remove a person, remember that
you don't have to stop following people who reply to much or send too
many updates for your text plan. You can change your <a href="http://twitter.zendesk.com/forums/23786/entries/14595">reply settings</a> to filter out unwanted replies, and your <a href="http://twitter.zendesk.com/forums/23786/entries/15610">device settings per person</a> if you don't want to receive text updates from everyone.</p>
