At the bottom of the members' profile, you'll see a link that reads 'Block this person'.
Click on this link and you'll arrive at a page where you can decide whether to block them completely or not.
If you block another member you will be completely hidden from them, they won't be able to view your profile, view any previous messages between you, see you in search results or contact you.
