Confirm with Block User.

What it does

• Their posts in the Market are hidden from you.
• They disappear from your People list and your chats, and you cannot message each other.
• Their pins on the Map, their Pulse posts, and their messages in event chats still show.
• A report goes to your community's admins, who can look into it.

What it does not do
