Shows Residents and objects you've blocked.

| '''Block Resident by name''' opens {{winlink|Choose Resident}}, which allows you to specify a person to block. This is useful for muting troublemakers who you find unpleasant, and can be used in addition to filing an {{vh|Report Abuse|abuse report}}. Among other interactions, a blocked Resident ''can't'':
* Communicate with you via text and voice chat.
* Communicate with you via objects they own; blocking extends to objects, too.
* Send you inventory items.
* Show you particles and sounds emitted from their avatar's attachments and inworld objects.
* Exchange friendships with you.
* Be seen normally if you have if you have '''Avatar Impostors''' enabled in the {{vh|Preferences - Graphics|Preferences' Graphics tab}}. The blocked person appears as a generic gray form, which also speeds up performance because you don't have to render their full avatar.

'''Block object by name''' Opens {{winlink|Block Object By Name}}. Blocking this way only blocks object text, not sounds. Useful if a particular object is repeatedly text-spamming you. If you'd rather block ''all'' objects owned by a certain Resident, including sounds, use '''Block person''' instead.}}
