Block or unblock someone in Flickr

Flickr is all about inspiration & positive interactions. If another member is interfering with that experience for you, you can block them.

Once blocked, the member will not be able to follow you, interact with your photos or videos, or send you FlickrMail. Any comments or faves on your content from them will be deleted, and your content will be removed from their galleries.

Note: While the block itself will occur immediately, removal of comments and faves can take up to several hours (though hopefully not that long!).
