Your '''block list''' is a list of players that you don't want to play with.  You can add players to your block list by visiting their profile page and clicking "Add this player to my block list." You can remove players from your block list on the [https://www.warzone.com/ManageBlockList Manage Block List] page.
Your '''Block List''' contains players that you prefer not to interact with on War.app.

You can add a player to your Block List by visiting their profile page and selecting '''Add this player to my Block List'''. You can remove players from your Block List via the same link or at the Manage Block List page.


Players you block list have the following restrictions:

* Any games you create with [[Open Seats]] will not show up for them on the Open Games tab.
Players on your Block List are subject to the following restrictions:
* If they do somehow find an open game you created (such as if another player gives them the link to it), they still won't be allowed to join it.
* Any open tournaments you create will not show up for them on the Open Tournaments page, and just like games they aren't able to join it if even if they do find it.
* They will have a small "B" icon next to their name in the lobby and main game screen.
* A small "B" appears on their box on the Open Games tab and My Games page.  This makes it easier to avoid games that they've joined.
* Any chat they send to a game or tournament will be hidden from view.  If you want to see it, a link is provided to reveal it.
* They are forbidden from inviting you to team [[ladder]].
* They cannot add you as a Friend.
* If they have Manager Rights within a [[Clan]], they cannot invite you to join that Clan.


==Secrecy==
=== Games and Tournaments ===


Most of the time, it is not possible for other players to tell that you have them on your block list. However, if they try to join a game with open seats that you created, or an open tournament you created, they would be notified that they can't join since they're on your block list. This is fairly unlikely though, since these games and tournaments would not even show up for them on the Open Games tab or the Open Tournaments page.
* Games you create with [[Open Seats]] will not appear for them on the Open Games page.
* If they obtain a direct link to one of your open games, they still cannot join it.
* Open tournaments you create will not appear for them on the Open Tournaments page.
* If they obtain a direct link to one of your tournaments, they still cannot join it.


They can, however, easily check whether they're on your block list by trying to add you as a "Friend" from your profile.
=== Visibility ===


==Ladders, Quickmatch, Coin Games ==
* A small '''B''' icon appears next to blocked players in game lobbies and game screens.
* A small '''B''' icon also appears on their entries in the Open Games and My Games pages, making it easier to identify games that include blocked players.
* Chat messages they post in games and tournaments are hidden by default. A link is provided if you wish to reveal the message.


Note that the block list does not impact whether or not you get a match against another player in a ladder, in quickmatch, or in coin games. This is necessary otherwise players could abuse the feature and block players based on skill, giving them an unfair advantage on rating.
=== Social Features ===
 
* They cannot send you Friend requests.
* They cannot invite you to a team [[Ladder]].
* If they have Manager Rights within a [[Clan]], they cannot invite you to join that clan.
 
== Privacy ==
 
In most situations, blocked players are not notified that they have been added to your Block List.

The Block List does not affect matchmaking systems, including:

Blocked players may still be matched with you through these systems.
 
This restriction exists to prevent players from manipulating ratings by blocking highly skilled opponents or selectively avoiding certain players.
