You can block a user from within your organization's settings or from a specific comment made by the user. When you block a user in a comment, you can choose to send the user a notification explaining that they were blocked and why. Otherwise, the user is not directly notified that you've blocked them. Blocked users can still delete their existing content.
|
|
|
|
When you block a user, you can choose to block them indefinitely or for a specific amount of time. If you block someone for a specific amount of time, they are automatically unblocked after the chosen time expires. If you block someone indefinitely, you can unblock them manually at any time. For more information, see "[Unblocking a user from your organization](/articles/unblocking-a-user-from-your-organization)."
|

|
{% tip %}
|
|
|
|
**Tip:** If you're blocking a user because of a heated conversation, consider [locking the conversation](/articles/locking-conversations) so only collaborators can comment.
|
|
|
|
{% endtip %}
|
|
|
|
At the time that you block a user from your organization:
|
|
- The user stops watching your organization's repositories
|
|
- The user's stars and issue assignments are removed from your repositories
|
|
- The user's forks of your organization's repositories are deleted
|
|
- The user's votes on discussions or comments in your organization's repositories are deleted
|
|
- The user is removed as a collaborator on your organization's repositories
|
|
- The user's contributions to your organization's repositories are no longer counted as contributions for them
|
|
- Any pending repository or organization invitations to the blocked user are cancelled
|
|
|
|
After you've blocked a user from your organization, they cannot:
|
|
- Cross-reference your organization's repositories in comments
|
|
- Fork, watch, pin, or star your organization's repositories
|
|
|
|
In your organization's repositories, blocked users also cannot:
|
|
- Open issues
|
|
- Send, close, or merge pull requests
|
|
- Comment on issues, pull requests, or commits
|
|
- Add or edit wiki pages
|
|
|
|
### Blocking a user in a comment
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the comment whose author you would like to block.
|
|
2. In the upper-right corner of the comment, click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="The horizontal kebab icon" %}, then click **Block user**.
|
|
|
|
3. If you'd like to set a time limit for the block, use the Block user drop-down menu, and select the amount of time you'd like to block the user.
|
|
|
|
4. If you'd like to hide all of the comments the user has made in the organization, select **Hide this user's comments** and choose a reason.
|
|
|
|
5. If you'd like to notify the user why they're being blocked, select **Send a notification to this user**.
|
|
|
|
6. To block the user, click **Block user from organization** or **Block user from organization and send message**.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
