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 from them on your content will be deleted, and your content will be removed from their galleries.

Note:

• The member you have blocked will not receive a notification about this action.
• While the block itself will occur immediately, removal of comments and faves can take up to several hours.
• Blocked members will still be able to see your Public content.
• You will still be able to see and interact with contents in the account of a blocked member.
