What happens when you block someone?

in Profile

Blocking is a private way to manage your interactions on SoftArchive. When you block a user:

  • They won’t be able to send you messages. Messages they try to send will look like they went through but won’t land in your inbox.
  • They can still see your public profile and activity (unless you apply extra privacy settings).
  • They won’t be notified that you blocked them.
  • This is called a "soft block" – the blocked user stays unaware, which helps avoid conflicts and keeps things calm.

You can unblock them anytime if you change your mind and want to reopen communication.
