How to close a group on VKontakte
Elena Savina (Russia) says... Don't think anything bad, but I would like to know how to block someone else's group on VKontakte?
Let's consider the question!
Hi all! The topic seemed interesting, so let’s quickly and briefly see how to solve the issue of blocking a group in contact. We will not go into details, such as why and why it was necessary to ban any group or public. Maybe it’s your competitor, maybe you just don’t like this group, in general it doesn’t matter at all!
- Well, before we move on to considering the very essence of the issue, I would like to share a useful find with those who have been looking for a long time, but have not found working methods for promoting their VKontakte groups. Do you need targeted subscribers to a VKontakte group, likes, reposts, or friends on your personal pages? Soclike will help you. Security, affordable prices for services and safely acceptable speeds for completing your orders - this is Soclike! We use it.
Why might you need to ban a group on VK?
The groups created in VK, as mentioned above, pursue different goals. Some people make money with their help, while others simply share important information.
How to get votes on VKontakte - all possible ways
Regardless of what group we are talking about, sometimes it is necessary to block or ban it.
Why does someone need to ban this or that group?
There are many reasons, but we will highlight four main ones that occur most often.
We are talking about situations when a group in VK:
- Distributes malicious content, as well as content prohibited by law or community rules. In this case, your goal in banning a page is based on preventing the spread of harmful information.
- He is engaged in holding “fake” competitions, which later turn out to be frauds. If you want to ban such a community, then most likely you either fell into a “trap” or are trying to protect others from this.
- He steals content from you, which he then freely posts on his own. Here the goal of banning a page is clear - you are fighting for justice.
- She is an unfair competitor - she herself constantly tries to ban similar pages, stealing content in the process. The purpose of such a ban is similar to the previous one - to block an unscrupulous competitor, protecting both your own and other people’s pages.
Of course, the reason to ban a group on VK can be completely different, for example, personal hostility or a conflict with the page administrator. The reason for your decision can be anything, and you have the right to act as you decide.
We strongly recommend that you do not block communities based on personal beliefs, much less in order to increase the popularity of your own group. As a rule, dishonest methods of dealing with competitors will not bring anything good.
If you are pursuing a noble goal, then we will be happy to tell you how to ban a group on VK.
How to block a person in contact
So that it doesn't go unanswered. VKontakte has a function called “Black List”. Using this list you can block or ban any page on VKontakte. That is, if some person bothers you, for example with his messages, then add him to the blacklist. This function can be found in “MY SETTINGS”. Well, I think you’ll figure it out!
Let's continue! 
— So, the task is to ban, block a group or public on VKontakte. 1. The first thing we do is start marking their posts as spam. 2. Second, if the group has any violations of the rules on VKontakte (see the site rules on VKontakte and look for violations), we write a complaint to the site administration. It is advisable to indicate what exactly the group is violating. Just in case, you can take a screenshot of the “nasty” post! - In short, we begin to scribble complaints and write slander against the group! Write about everything and everyone separately. You can't go overboard here! Sausage, so to speak, needs to be done to the fullest! The thing is that only the administration of the VKontakte website can close or freeze a group. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, there is no other way to block groups. Remember one thing. The reason for the complaint must be valid and justified.
I think there is no need to explain how and where to write. I think you can easily find it yourself and figure out how to write to the site administration or complain about an “unpleasant” page.
What violations can you complain about with a very high probability of blocking the group, as well as the personal pages of users.
1. insult 2. pornography 3. drug propaganda 4. child pornography 5. violence or extremism 6. cheating in any form 7. pyramids and dubious earnings 8. sale of accounts (games, social networks, etc.) 9. groups advertising tobacco and alcohol 10. sports betting
There is also a ban for swastikas. I don’t know for how long exactly the page will be blocked, I think it will either be banned or “asked” to be deleted.
Let us consider in more detail possible violations on the basis of which a block can be made. At the same time, moderators, site administration and technical staff. VKontkte support will help you! ;-))) True, we will not consider some points, since complaining about these violations is useless if you are not a legal entity or organization
Pornography
— The administration, of course, will consider this point of violation, but, for example, if pornographic material is in a “closed” group, then the likelihood of a ban is small! It’s another matter if porn is distributed and is freely available. Attention will be attracted in any way..
Insult and mockery
- This is the most unreliable way! You can try, but it’s unlikely that anything will work out! You never know who sent someone to hell. And what from this? If this concerns you personally, you can simply block this user by adding him to the “black” list. (How to deposit? See your page settings.)
Drugs
- Any substances. This is a serious matter. Please pay attention to this. If we write anything and complain right away. 100 percent option!
Child pornography
- Comes as a separate item. Because this is not only very bad, but simply abnormal. This can be any photo, video, etc. With such materials, you can and should definitely report without hesitation. It is clearly prohibited and should be punished very harshly.
Violence and extremism
— A complaint about such materials in the group will definitely be considered, but the result can be very different.
If violence is more or less understandable, then extremism is already some kind of incomprehensible act with a bias towards politics! The group may be frozen for correction or removal of materials that do not suit the site moderators.
Cheat
— Cheating likes, reposts, polls, groups, publics and any other indicators on VKontakte is a very serious violation of the site’s rules. Accordingly, the punishment will be exact. And the point is not that this is very bad, but that VKontakte loses its money due to such manipulations. After all, with such cheating, most likely you will turn for such services not to VKontakte for advertising, but to various services and sites for cheating. The ban for such actions is also 100 percent.
Pyramids and dubious earnings
— The administration may not pay attention to this point at all. But, of course, you can use it as an option. What if someone has already been deceived by this scam and you are not the only one to write a complaint? Although I, for example, do not agree with such blocking. Everyone chooses their own way of earning money. Moreover, making money on the Internet in itself is questionable for some people!
Ban a group on VKontakte for cheating
Here. Now let’s move on to the method of blocking the ban of a community group or public by “CREATING” subscriber members into it. We find service sites for such promotion. It is advisable that the service site be as “silent” as possible and we begin to recruit subscribers or participants into the group. I will not recommend sites and services to you. You can easily find them yourself. The main thing in this search is to choose the site with the worst reputation! We continue to cheat until this group is frozen and banned for cheating!
Ban groups on VKontakte for spam
Another option is to use SPAM on behalf of the group you want to block. You just stupidly take and place their advertisement on VKontakte, so that it fucks up other users! Users will complain about such advertising, and moderators will warn the owner of the group for inappropriate actions and may ultimately freeze the group. I won’t write about stolen content in groups. Since the administration simply asks to remove plagiarism and nothing more! But…
It’s better not to risk the group being blocked
Thus, if there is at least one such reason and complaints from users are submitted to moderation, the community’s activities will be terminated until all circumstances are clarified. When the admins' conditions are met, then the group will be unlocked.
Let us remind you that not only ordinary publics fall under these rules; in 2015, the largest community at that time “MDK” was blocked, which at the time of blocking numbered more than 7.5 million subscribers.
Group. In fact, there are only two simple methods that will definitely help. True, you will have to try. As a rule, such actions require special attention and effort. Let's see how to block a group on a social network.
Check: has the group been blocked or is it just your imagination?
If there is no word “blocked” on a group’s page, then it is not blocked. The reason is different. For example, if you enter a group from an iPhone or iPad and it says “The community probably contains inappropriate materials and is not available for viewing,” then most likely you yourself have turned on the age restriction. How to solve the problem, see here at the very beginning:
- Group, public VKontakte is not displayed in the search. Why?
Enforcement measures
There are several sanctions that apply to violators:
- Removing defamatory information, blocking access.
- Transfer of rights to the creator of the group if scammers have hacked the page.
- Removing a group from a social network.
- Prohibition on placing links to services that violate the site rules.
Any user can complain, but there is no guarantee that their complaint will be responded to adequately. If the application does not give the desired result, all that remains is to contact the government authorities.
Send a complaint about the group
I have already discussed this issue in the article - how to complain about a VKontakte group. Let's look at this point again.
We go to contact and click “Help”.
A list of popular questions will open. Here you need to write any text in the search bar. A message will appear stating that no answers were found for this query. And there will be a link “Write to us.” Follow it.
You will be taken to a form where you need to fill out your question.
In the title we write that it is necessary to block the VKontakte group. Further in the text of the message, we need to indicate her address (see how to find out the id of a VKontakte group), as well as the reason for the blocking. It is advisable if you attach photographs that clearly show the materials that you consider prohibited. When you have completely filled out the form, click the “Submit” button.
Now you need to wait until the administration considers the complaint and makes a decision to block the community.
Sending a collective complaint to a group
Please note that the more complaints are sent, the greater the likelihood that the group will be blocked.
How can this be done? VKontakte has a large number of groups where users work together to help each other. This could be recruiting friends, subscribers to a group, or sending collective complaints.
All you need to do is find such a group and post a message asking for help in blocking a malicious public page.
To do this, go to VKontakte and write “Complain” in the search bar. And filter by community. In the final list we look for a suitable group.
We see that the “Complain about a group in contact and pages” community suits us. We go into it and leave our request on the wall about the need to block the group. Don't forget to add her address.
Now you need to wait until active users see your request and also send a complaint to block the specified VK group.
This will greatly increase the chances that the administration will close the community.
What to do and where to contact government agencies?
You should complain about fraud in VK to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at your place of residence, or to department “K” (the department that fights cyber crime). It is best to submit two applications to both departments. Applications can be submitted at the physical branch, as well as through the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The application should include the following information::
- Full information about the situation that occurred.
- Provide the amount of money lost.
- Details to which the money was transferred.
- Tell us how you transferred the money.
The application is accompanied by copies of payment documents that confirm the transfer of funds, screenshots of correspondence with scammers, as well as with technical support of the site, a copy of the application to the bank, and any other information about the scammer. In this case, the money will be returned to you upon completion of the entire process, if the suspect is found and convicted.

Programs
Now you know how to block a group in Contact. As you can see, this is a rather long process, which does not guarantee that your desire will be realized. So we have to look for other solutions.
Some users claim that blocking public pages and communities may require a special program. Honestly, this kind of content is terrible stuff. The point is that such software serves as a virus. It steals user accounts and infects the computer with various infections. Remember that the only safe way to block public pages is to file complaints.
