What is it for
A simple blocking of a user will result in him being added to the blacklist (see how to add to the blacklist on VK). After this, he will not be able to be active on your page and see your updates.
In this way, you will protect yourself from annoying spammers (see spam for VKontakte) and other unpleasant people.
Bottom line
Today I told you about how to ban a page on VK. If for some reason you have such a desire, now you know how to do it.

How to ban a person on VKontakte using a blacklist
Here we have 2 options.
Method 1. Go to the “My settings - black list” menu. Here, in the search window, enter a link to the page of the desired user (see link to the page on VK), or his name. Next, click the “Add to blacklist” button.
Now the person is blocked and will not be able to bother us.
Method 2. This time you need to go to the page of the user we want to ban. Now scroll down to the very bottom block in the menu list. Here you can find the “Block...” link. Click it.
This user will be banned.
What is BAN?
BAN (Ban) is to impose a ban, block, outlaw. If we apply the meaning of the word to the global network, then this is one of the ways to control the behavior of users on the Internet. To ban means to prohibit or restrict a user from any actions on a specific website, service, or social network. Naturally, sanctions are imposed for violations of established rules and resource requirements.
The owner of the resource or the administrators and moderators appointed by him can limit the user’s actions. The ban is valid only on the service, website or social network account on which it was issued. For example, if a VK page was banned, this does not mean that personal accounts on Instagram, FB, WhatsApp and Twitter channels will also be banned.
How to permanently ban a person from VK
To do this, we need to completely block the user. To do this again there will be two methods.
Method 1. If a person really commits illegal actions, we can send a request to the support service with a request to ban him from VK (see VKontakte support service telephone hotline).
To do this, let’s go to his page again and use the “Report page” link. It is located just below the link we used to block.
Next, a form will appear in which you will need to indicate the reason why you are requesting a ban. Fill it out and click the “Submit” button.
All that remains is to wait for the administration's decision.
2 Method. VKontakte has many thematic communities in which people provide mutual assistance to each other. Including sending requests to block a user. You need to find such a community and send a message asking that this person needs to be permanently banned from VK. Don't forget to include a link to his page. Now other users will massively send a complaint to the contact administration, and the page will probably be closed.
As in the first case, we just have to wait for the decision from the support service.
Why do you need to ban
Before banning a person from VK, let’s look at the reasons and situations that contribute to this. Any user enjoys visiting their page to chat with friends, listen to music, or scroll through interesting news. But some people spoil the mood by sending negative messages and leaving nasty comments.
A ban will be required in the following cases:
- promotional offers and other spam are sent;
- manifestation of aggression when the user is annoying with his offensive messages and comments;
- an annoying fan, without whose comments and likes not a single publication is complete, and his personal account is filled with messages from him;
- the desire to hide your personal life from any person who may be unpleasant to you.
There are two types of blocking a person on VK: blacklist and permanent ban. For example, if you want to protect yourself from an unwanted user, you can add him to the blacklist. And if a person violates the rules, then a complaint against him to the administration of the social network is necessary. Below we will look at ways to ban a person on VKontakte.
Why can a profile be blocked?
I have always divided the reasons for blocking into two groups: more serious violations and more harmless ones. In the first case, the ban comes for distributing prohibited materials. Moreover, in some cases, not only the rules and policies of the VKontakte website are violated, but also the legislation of the Russian Federation. These reasons include:
- Placing posts with prohibited materials.
- Calls for violence, aggression, racism, nationalism, extremism, terrorism.
- Insults of various types (personal, religious, etc.).
- Intentional placement of links to virus sites or programs.
Almost always the ban is given forever. The page cannot be restored. But there are also situations when the blocking is given for a while. This depends on mitigating circumstances, the nature of the offense and other factors. The site administration is not stupid, and knows how to distinguish between situations when the rules were violated consciously and unconsciously.
The second type of violations are more harmless. Most often they are associated with promotion and promotion, namely:
- Using services that artificially inflate activity counters. In other words, programs and sites with which you can increase likes, subscribers, reposts, comments and other activity.
- Placing posts on your wall containing advertising or other information about such services.
- Suspicious user activity. For example, you use a service for mutual exchange of activity (where, for a reward, you complete tasks for other users, and they complete yours). If, for example, you were not previously an active user, and then suddenly you actively started liking, subscribing, reposting posts, etc., then for the administration this behavior will be suspicious and they will begin to monitor you more closely.
- Spam and sending various information. An account can be frozen both for spam in private messages to other users, and on their walls, community walls, in comments, etc. (for detailed information on how to find a way out if messages are blocked, read the material at the link).
- The presence of a certain number of complaints from other VK users. The exact number of complaints followed by blocking is not made public. According to various sources, there should be at least 5 of them. But it all depends on the nature of the violation.
- Mass mailing of invitations to friends. Rarely, but this happens, despite the presence of a daily limit on outgoing friend requests. The site administration is not stupid and understands perfectly well when they recruit friends for the sake of PR for their product/service/brand.
VKontakte spam cases: how much you can earn from it
150,000 ₽ from a weight loss project
In this case, the arbitrator used not only spamming, but also an auto funnel with a chatbot. The idea was simple: he parsed users who could theoretically be interested in the topic of losing weight. Spam led them to groups, where he offered useful material - calculating body mass index. And then he began to “warm up” users with video lessons on losing weight. At the end he gave a link to the product.
This is what the message in the chatbot with a link to the product looked like
The cost of maintaining auto funnels and software for spam mailings was about 4,000 rubles per day. And earnings range from 9,000 ₽ to 13,000 ₽ daily. On average, 150,000 rubles of net profit came out per month.
90,000 ₽ for two months
We will not describe the scheme in detail, because there are very, very many subtleties in it: it “pulls” on a separate material. In short, an arbitrator:
- created profiles that imitate the accounts of real people: uploaded unique videos and photos to them;
- pinned a post with an invitation to earn money and a proof - a photo of money on a laptop;
- parsed suitable communities;
- found a lot of photos to add to albums and made them unique;
- I started posting photos to the community and leading users to accounts from them.
As a result, in two months of work he received more than 90,000 rubles in net profit.
The arbitrator also worked on personal requests - answered user questions in PM

Spam trends in 2021
At all times, the main goal of spamming is to make a profit. Namely, to notify as many people as possible about the product and interest them in the offer so that they place an order. The less you spend on organizing spam mailings and the more leads (orders) you receive, the better. There are certain trends in 2021:
Natural dialogues. Increasingly, in the comments to community posts you can see not an advertisement for a product, but an interesting and intriguing message or an entire dialogue. Naturalness is the main trend: it works better than “frontal sales”, because such dialogues practically do not get banned.
Selection of target audience. Previously, spam was “carpet bombing” - advertising messages were sent to everyone indiscriminately. This is not how they operate now - products or services are offered only to the target audience: people who may be potentially interested in them. This allows you to increase conversion: with this approach we get more leads than if we sent messages to everyone.
