If you come across Spam content from a specific user or hashtag, you can block that user/hashtag to prevent such content from entering the Content section. The Blocked List can also be handy for competitor hashtags.
Furthermore, aside from preventing future content, the system will scan for photos from blocked users/hashtags in the Content section and automatically remove them.
📣 IMPORTANT NOTE
There is an automated Instagram spam filter in place that detects spam content and prevents it from being transferred to the UGC section. This significantly reduces the need for manual spam detection. If you have Moderation Services, our team can also assist by blocking users and hashtags to streamline the content curation process.
Block content
Users
Navigate through the left-side menu to Source > UGC > Collect.
Enter the username of the account you want to block.
Select the source (Instagram or Twitter).
Click 'Block'.
Hashtags
Go to the 'BlockedList' page.
Enter the hashtag/s by separating with a comma.
Click 'Block'.
The blocked users and hashtag will appear in the 'Blocked users and hashtags' box below, along with the source. Use the Search box to find usernames or hashtags that have already been blocked. You can Unblock a user or hashtag at any time by clicking 'Unblock'.
