# Abuse reports **(FREE SELF)**
This file was moved to [another location](review_abuse_reports.md).
View and resolve abuse reports from GitLab users.

## Reporting abuse
To find out more about reporting abuse, see [abuse reports user
documentation](../abuse_reports.md).

### Blocking users
A blocked user cannot log in or access any repositories, but all of their data
remains.
Blocking a user:
- Leaves them in the abuse report list.
- Changes the **Block user** button to a disabled **Already blocked** button.
The user is notified with the following message:
```plaintext
Your account has been blocked. If you believe this is in error, contact a staff member.
```
After blocking, you can still either:
- Remove the user and report if necessary.
- Remove the report.
The following is an example of a blocked user listed on the **Abuse Reports**
page:
![abuse-report-blocked-user-image](img/abuse_report_blocked_user.png)
NOTE:
Users can be [blocked](../../api/users.md#block-user) and
[unblocked](../../api/users.md#unblock-user) using the GitLab API.
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
questions that you know someone might ask.
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
