How To Know If Someone Has Blocked You On Roblox – If you can’t message a friend on Roblox, they may have blocked you for some reason. But how exactly does this feature work, and are there other ways to tell if someone has blocked you?
In this article, you will see everything you need to know about the lock feature in Roblox. Plus, you’ll get some tips and tricks on how to add or remove people yourself.
How to know if you have been blocked in Roblox
Blocking other people on Roblox is designed to filter individuals from social interactions. There are usually several “signs” that indicate that you have been blocked. Regarding the person who has blocked you, you will not be able to:
- Send messages
- Send friend requests
- Submit trade requests
- Send ally invites
- in-game chat
- chat with your friends
- Send party invites to your friends
- Send Clan invites
- Follow your friends to games.
If you experience any or all of the above cases, you can be sure that the person in question has blocked you. Please note that there is no direct way to determine if you have been blocked: there will be no notifications or messages from administrators. You will have to follow the previous clues and play detective. The test is straightforward if you try to message someone and find that you can’t.
Why is there a blockade?
With over 164 million users around the world, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their time on the platform is an important and demanding task. For this reason, Roblox has a team of moderators and automated systems. The blocking feature was introduced in 2014 and was created so that users themselves can monitor their social experience without company intervention. It serves as a quick solution to grievances that players may have with each other. The reasons for blocking can be very subjective, and all users can decide if such measures are necessary.
How does blocking someone in Roblox work?
You may already know that blocking someone on Roblox is relatively easy. All you have to do is go to your profile page, select the three dots in the top right corner, and hit the “Block User” option from the popup menu.
Another way to do this is to look for the member’s username in the leader/player list at the top right of the screen. Clicking on it will open a menu where you can choose the “Block Player” option. If you perform the action, the icon next to their name will change to a circle with a backslash (also known as the universal “No” symbol), signifying that the player has been successfully blocked. Please note that this method may not work on smaller screens such as mobile devices. In that case, you’ll need to use the profile page accessed above.
A block list in Roblox is limited to 100 per user (previously 50), which means that someone who uses this feature regularly has to consider unblocking others at some point. If you’ve accidentally blocked someone, it’s a good idea to release them as soon as possible.
Here’s how to block someone on Roblox:
- Navigate to “Account Settings” (gear icon in browser or three dots on mobile).
- Click on “Settings”.
- Go to “Privacy”.
- Click the “Show” button in the “Blocked Users” section of “Settings”.
- Find the “username” of the person you want to unblock and select “Unblock” next to their name.
- If you have a security pin set up for your account, you’ll need to disable it to unblock someone. Scroll to the top and select “Security” from the left navigation menu.
- Scroll to the bottom. Tap the “slide switch” next to “Account PIN is currently enabled” to disable the feature.
- Enter your current PIN and click “Unlock”. then go back to “Step 1” and try again.
Note: When you unblock someone on Roblox, their friend status is removed, and you have to submit a new request.
Many users may already be familiar with the use of the “Block” feature. What may be less obvious is what happens when (and if) you are on the receiving end of the block.
Blocking you might not be their fault
Blocking people in online games or platforms can have valid reasons, and they serve as a valuable tool to ensure decent behavior among members. Common reasons for this on Roblox include rudeness, annoying others, and spam.
If this situation has happened to you, consider whether you have displayed similar behavior. Consider that there may not be an objective argument for why you have been blocked. Sometimes a user gets blocked for in-game reasons that have nothing to do with him personally. Also, do not forget that accidents can happen in your account or in the other person’s.
Don’t let a lockdown get you down
Now that you know how to find out if someone has blocked you on Roblox, you can use it whenever you need. Even if you’ve been blocked accidentally, through no fault of your own or for some other reason, don’t stress about it. With such a large community, you can always make new friends.
