Block anyone from interacting with your work, plus clear community standards
You can now block any member -- they can't respond to your work, reply to your feedback, or send you mentorship requests. And our community standards are now written out in plain language.
Two safety additions today.
You can now block any member on Designed.org. Blocking someone means they can no longer respond to your critique submissions, reply to feedback you've given, or send you mentorship requests -- enforced everywhere, quietly, without notifying them. Block from any feedback card, and manage your blocked list anytime from Settings > Profile Privacy.
And our community standards now live at one plain-language page -- what we expect in critique, mentorship, jobs, and projects, and exactly how to report problems. Nothing in it is new policy; it's the commitments this platform already makes, finally written where everyone can read them. Find it in the footer.
