Blocks & Bans are Different
Blocking does not affect a people's ability to comment or add images to iSnap Conversations as they are not personal to you. Each iSnap Conversation is more like a Public Forum. Each individual iSnap Conversation has its own Moderator/s who may Ban users who place inappropriate comment or images. These Bans only relate to that specific iSnap Conversation. Note: If you start an iSnap Conversation you will be a Moderator. For information on this see the FAQ iSnap Conversations and go to the section on: Appropriate Content
Reporting Images
If you have problems with inappropriate content anywhere in this site use the Report button to report the image to an iSnapChat Administrator. For further information please see: FAQ Etiquette & Appropriate Content
