Hello,

I have a user that is stalking me and I blocked him from my profile. But he still can like my pictures. How does this block works?

If he is stalking you dont block him, delete his profile as a violation. If you know his IP then block his ip on the server side. 


Do you have root access or are you on shared hosting?

Block feature blocks user from sending your a message or chat, follow you or send you gifts and friend requests, but he can like your items or leave comments in the newsfeed.

Good question. I will have to check. But I believe it's root access. Blocking IP is relatively good, but he can change his IP and come back. If I have no choice, I will do it though. Thanks :)

So it's a partial block. It's good to know. Thank you :)

Yes he can change his IP however if he is from certain parts of the world, new IP's can be very hard to come by, so after you block a few IP's or even a whole group of IP's, he may be helpless and just give up.  There are also features within your panel and server side to add to that protection using different methods.
