How to Block Users on Twitter - a Twitter Tutorial
Introduction
This hasn’t happened to me before, but I know a few people who have had issues with receiving @reply spam. You can receive @replies from twitter users ever if you aren’t following them. Most people chalk this up as an unavoidable problem and simply deal with it. Well good news for those of you out there who want this, there is an option to block users.
Where to Find the Block Link
If you truly wish to block soemone from sending you @replies, you need to actually visit their profile. Once on their profile page point your attention to the right sidebar. Scroll down a bit to the bottom of the sidebar content (below the collage of people the individual is following) and there should be a link entitled, “block.”
Screen shot Example:
Here is a screen shot example: (I am simply using Dave Morin as an example, Dave is actually a great guy, and if you don’t follow him already, you NEED to!)
Conclusion
Most of us shouldn’t have this problem, but I have heard a few people complain about the issue, and I figured if I could help one or two people, then it would be worth it!

I’ve had to block a few people myself AJ…I just hope as it grows the spammers don’t try to come and takeover like they did on Myspace and now starting too on Facebook.
