How do I restrict a member of my community?

As part of your role as a community administrator, you may occasionally find that one of your members behaves inappropriately or violates the guidelines of either your community or HealthUnlocked. In such cases, you may decide to restrict them from your community.

To restrict a member, please follow this guide:

1. When you see a post or comment from a member that you want to restrict, select "More", which is located at the bottom of the post or comment and located next the to the "Report" button.

2. Select "Restrict Member".

3. Confirm this action by selecting the blue "Restrict" button.

You can also restrict members in the members tab:

1. On the main page of your community, click on the members tab, which is next to the Posts tab.
2. Search the username of the member you want to restrict.
3. Click on the cog wheel situated next to the username.
4. In the dropdown click "Restrict".

Restricted members will not be able to reply or post in a community, and they will not be able to contact any member of that community.
