The VKontakte website has a simple, unsophisticated and intuitive interface. However, due to the fact that it is widely functional, sometimes there are questions about using it. In this article we will tell you how to add users to the blacklist in VK.
What is the blacklist for?
In social networks, just like in real life, there are people with whom it is unpleasant to communicate and do not want to share any information. For this, the site administration came up with the "VK Black List", where you can add any annoying oruser you don't like. Once he is there, no information from your page will be available to him. A blocked user will also not be able to write you a message. In this way, you can completely eliminate those people with whom you are uncomfortable communicating.
For what reasons do people have a question about how to blacklist in VK? In fact, there can be many prerequisites for this, for example: spam protection (users on the social network often like to send out newsletters with some kind of advertising, which can sometimes be annoying), unwillingness to communicate with this or that person, keeping something secret (such as photos, wall posts, and so on).
