I get annoyed when someone is mean or is advertising and it is not fun i would like a way to block people from talking to you which would make any messages they say not appear because i could report them but it sometimes takes a while this could make the platform safer if you have any comments feel free to reply

this was once a feature, but ST (scratch team, or the mods) found out that it buried problems more than it helped, because even if one account blocked a bully, that would not stop the bully from bullying other accounts


also please post suggestions in the suggestion forum, not here

Yeah, and it's also in rejected suggestions, I believe

Closing because this is a rejected suggestion:

8.6 Blocking or ignoring Scratchers
This suggestion refers to an optional system that makes it so that you do not have to see comments that a particular user posts. This feature existed in Scratch 1.4, but the Scratch Team found that it buried any problems rather than solving them. Even if you block a user, that does not stop them from harassing other Scratchers, and also does not stop them from making more accounts to harass you further. The Scratch Team also found that some would use the block button in ways that were unwelcoming to other Scratchers of a certain identity. For more information, see this post.
