How do I mute someone who is chat messaging me?

HealthUnlocked has it's very own private messaging system where you can contact members directly or engage in a private group message. This feature called "chat" can help to facilitate deeper levels of support and sharing of information and advice between members. You can read more about this here.

If you would like to stop receiving one to one messages from a member, you can ‘mute’ them.

NOTE: We take spamming and abuse via private messaging very seriously, please report any material that you find: suspicious, commercial, offensive or abusive. The reported member may have their account banned. Take a look here for information on how to report a private message.

How to mute a member:

Click on the chat message from the member you wish to mute.
Click the button 'mute' located at the bottom of their message.
Confirm if you would like to mute the member
