How Do I Block/Limit Supporters?

Ko-fi is a friendly and supportive community and we want to keep it that way! If you've had a bad experience with a supporter, you can limit future payments and messages from them. You can also control who can comment on your Posts and Images.

 

Blocking Future Payments From a Supporter

In your Account & Billing settings under the Safety header, select "Block or limit Someone" and the options will expand.
