+The biggest hazard with GNU Social is that it's part of a public federated communications system. This means that conversations and replies from other servers may end up in your "whole known network" stream. The internet being what it is, some of these could be undesirable. You can block individual users or entire domains by going to the *Administrator control panel* and selecting *Domain and user blocking*, then adding or removing entries. This blocks domains at the firewall level and also at the level of database and file storage.

98 
+If you want to block a particular user then select *Block a domain or user* and enter the user in the format *username@domaintoblock* (similar to an email address).
