These three controls do different things, and knowing which one fits the moment makes a real difference. No keyboard shortcuts to memorise, no speed limits to worry about — just three buttons that each do something specific.
Skip is the everyday button. Tap it and you leave the current match and get connected to someone new. There's no penalty for using it often, no hidden rate limit, and no keyboard shortcut to learn — just the on-screen button. Use it for the ordinary reasons people skip: the conversation isn't clicking, you're looking for someone specific, or you just feel like moving on. You don't need a reason at all, honestly.
In the main chat room, Block is what you reach for when you don't want to see messages from a specific person anymore, without necessarily reporting them. Tap their name, confirm you want to block them, and their messages stop appearing for you for the rest of that session.
Worth being precise about what this is and isn't: it's a session-level block, held in your browser while you're connected, not a permanent record that follows that person around the platform forever. If you come back another day, you're starting fresh. If someone's behaviour is bad enough that you want it on record beyond just hiding their messages from you, that's what Report is for, alongside or instead of blocking.
Report is the one that actually reaches a person. Use the Report button when something crosses a line covered in our Community Guidelines — harassment, explicit content, anything involving a minor, or other serious violations. It logs the session details and sends them to a human moderator, with a target of review within 2 hours.
Skipping ends an uncomfortable conversation. Reporting is what actually gets looked at by someone and can lead to a restriction on the other person's access. If something genuinely needs attention, skip or block alone won't accomplish that — report it. For the full breakdown of what happens after you report, see our reporting guide.
The conversation isn't for you, nothing's actually wrong — just move on.
You don't want to see this person's messages for the rest of the session, but it's not something that needs moderator attention.
What happened actually violates the guidelines — this is the one that gets reviewed by a person and can lead to real consequences for the other user.
