FYI, you can "Do not show in News feed," Block, Mute, and Remove anyone in addition to Complain. I have only done that to one brand new user who demanded free money from me.
block didnt work for me recently i removed one "friend" but then i continued to receive msgs.

I saw your complaint. It was reviewed by the administration and some measures (quite strict ones) were taken.

that wasnt a complaint. i was notifying of website block feature not working.

i added the block hours before the 07:30 comment.

If that's the case, then there might be something wrong with the blocking feature again. I hope the developers will pay attention to this and check it.

Ah ha. Thanks.

For the Admins' diagnostic purposes, I hit Complain and Remove on day 1, received a Message from said user on day 2, hit Block, received another Message from said user on day 2, hit Mute, and then received no more Messages from said user.

I've had, and presently have, "Who can text me and add me to groups/channels" set to "My friends" for several years.

Obviously, Complain takes some time because the Admins need time to review complaints. Given the new-to-me information that you have provided, I'm now pondering whether Complain or Mute was, or both were, the final termination.

@Michael Charles Schefe, I replied, as a blocked user, to your test Message.
 

@Vladislav Boyko as you can see ryans msg still shows despite the yellow notification.

msg of ryans "If I remember correctly, "Mute" was the final terminator."

This is most likely a bug. I've promoted this thread to the admins. I think the developers will see it (they probably already have). I hope this will be fixed.

Confirmed. I've never been quite sure what the word, "text," means as used therein. In the age of cell phones, it's a a bit confusing.
