    If someone is sending you unwanted inappropriate messages, I'd encourage you to report them to MFP staff, so they won't just turn around and do the same to others. The person will not be told who reported them.

    You can get IDs for staff (so you can send them a PM) here:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10028709/meet-our-community-team#latest

    You can send PMs to staff even if you aren't MFP friends with them.

    If you unfriend the person, they should no longer be able to send you PMs or post on your timeline (but they can still harass others).

    If they're saying things in the Community area that are against the rules, use the "Flag" option to get moderators' attention. The "report" option under "Flag" is good because you can add a note to explain, if it isn't obvious.

    In the Community, you can also Ignore a user so you don't see their posts (but their posts still exist). To do that, on the web version of MFP, go to their Community profile page by clicking on their avitar, click on the down-arrow in the upper right that has a people icon by it, and click Ignore. It's similar on the phone/tablet app, but you may have to click the avi, then click "View profile".

    Hi @delillolauren

    I'm grabbing a snippet from our FAQ's to see if any of these articles are helpful too:

    How do I block or ignore...
    How do I report...
    You're also welcome to send me, or any other staff or mod a PM, anytime.
