Blocking private messages from specific users

The Zen Cart forum ignore list blocks private messages, not forum posts

How do I stop someone from private messaging me?

Blocking (or “ignoring”) a user stops private messages between you and them - it does not hide their forum posts or threads from you. You’ll still see their posts when browsing or reading threads.

  • Visit their member profile (click their username in any post, or find them from the members directory).
  • Click “Add to ignore list” on their profile.

Once blocked, that user can no longer send you private messages, and you can no longer send them private messages. You can undo this at any time from the same profile page by clicking “Remove from ignore list”.
