Why is blocking needed?
Life on a social network does not always go smoothly - there are many trolls, scammers and simply aggressive individuals on VK. A person is bombarded with insults and threats for no reason, messages receive fake requests to transfer money from hacked friends, and sometimes the surest ways to get rid of this is to close your account from strangers or block the attacker.
You can do this in the settings, in the “Privacy” section, or directly in the account of the annoying person. You will not need to re-enter your password or verify your identity. The system will not separately notify the opponent about the blocking, but when a person lands on your page, he will see a message in the spirit of “No access.”
How to “freeze” your page manually
You can independently restrict access to your profile. With this blocking, you can unblock the page at any time. If you want the page to completely disappear from all databases, then it does not need to be restored for 7 months. To “freeze” it manually, you need to do the following:
- Log in to your account and click on the “Settings” column.
- Next, you need to click on the “Delete page” link at the bottom.
- Your profile will become inaccessible to others. But you can always restore it by going to the same menu.
As you can see, the algorithm of actions is very simple.
How to block your VK page for a while
There is no need to take any special actions before blocking your VKontakte page for a while. Log in to the system, click on the name in the upper right corner and select “Settings” from the drop-down list. Then proceed according to the following scheme:
- go to the “Privacy” section;
- scroll to the very bottom;
- in the “Profile type” line, select closed;
- To be sure, limit the circle of people who can send messages.
The attacker will lose the ability to contact you directly - only your friends will have contact. But this method will not remove the page from the social network - you can still be harassed in comments and general discussions. If you need to block access forever, try using a radical option and freezing the page forever.
Freeze a VKontakte user page.
Here, too, there may be a whole host of reasons to freeze the page, from banal irritation with a person, you don’t like his actions, statements, etc. Maybe this person is a scammer, a spammer, a foul speaker...
To freeze a person, you need to send a complaint against him and indicate the reason for blocking, support service specialists will make their decision and freeze the violator’s page, or they can also ban, this is practiced when the violations are very serious.
Click the icon with three dots under the main photo (avatar), then in the drop-down menu, select “Send a complaint.” A window will open where you can indicate a violation, which in your opinion should lead to blocking of this account.
Reasons for complaint: - Pornography. - Sending spam. - Bad behavior. — An advertising page that clogs the search. — Clone of my page (or my old page).
Also describe the essence of the complaint in the comment.
Please note that at the very bottom there is an option to check the box. “Close access to my page” is essentially the same as sending it to the “black list”.
Explanation from the Technical Service. VKontakte support.
Report a page from your phone.
You can go to the full version of VKontakte, and similarly with the method above, send a complaint. In order to switch to the full version of VK, select “Full version” in the menu. From the VK mobile application, there is only the ability to block a user’s page.
How to block your VK page forever
There are two ways to get rid of a user account.
- Fast and difficult. Register a new account with identical data, except for the password. Go to the old page, click the ellipsis under the avatar and select “Clone of mine or old” in “Complain.” Invite a friend to do the same - it will take 10 complaints to block. After freezing, to be sure, you can contact support, confirm your identity and ask to delete the unnecessary account. Or wait until the profile deletes itself.
- Long and easy. If you don’t want to freeze your profile with complaints, go to the page settings and scroll to the very bottom. There you will find the “Delete” link - click, indicate the reason and confirm the action. After 7 months, the page will be deleted permanently without administration intervention.
Blocking an account via the mobile version of VK
The mobile version of the site is slightly different in structure from the full one. For this reason, sometimes users have difficulty finding the right button. Therefore, we will consider blocking an account through the mobile version of VK separately.
Instructions:
- Log into your account using your login, go to the very bottom of the page and find the “Settings” button.
- By default, the “General” tab will open, so all that remains is to find the “Delete your page” button. It is located under the list of general settings.
- Next, a familiar window will appear asking you to indicate the reason for deleting your profile. Here you need to remember to uncheck the “Tell friends” option if you don’t want your subscribers to see the corresponding post in the news feed.
- After confirmation, we see a notification about successful account deletion.
If you still plan to restore your profile in the future, then the phone number to which it is attached should not be linked to another page. Since linking a number is only possible to one account, access to the remote one will be automatically lost.
In addition, do not confuse the mobile version of the site with the mobile application. The fact is that the Android application does not yet provide the ability to delete an account.
Therefore, to “freeze” your profile, you need to log into it through a mobile browser or open the FAQ in the application and follow the link.
How to block someone else's VK page forever
In order to ban an outsider for life, requests will most likely have to be sent repeatedly. Spammers and aggressive individuals will be removed only after 3-5 blocks. But scammers and extortionists, as a rule, are punished the first time.
You have 2 ways.
- On your own. Before you block someone else’s page on VK, you will have to gather a support group. Freezing will require the same 10 complaints. Go to the offender’s page, click on the three dots under the avatar and click “Report page.” After the first freeze, try to send your profile to a second ban - and so on until the account is permanently deleted.
- With the help of support agents. Screen evidence of insults from the offender, attempts to extort money, and other actions prohibited by the rules. In the top right corner, click on your avatar thumbnail and select Help. You need the block “Access to the page” – “I was hacked” – “Write to support”. Fill out the fields, describe the problem and attach evidence. The answer will come in 1-2 days.
