Deleting a message and blocking users
As an admin, you can delete messages and block users from the event chat, should you require.
Log in to the event with your admin email address. In the top right hand corner, click the arrow to expand the chat section.
To the right of each message in the event chat panel, you will see three dots. Click the dots and make your choice from the options. If you block a user, they won't receive notification that they have been blocked. Their messages will just simply not appear in the event chat.

1) Delete the group or

If you click See details, you can view the group thread. You can then block a user, ir required.
If you choose to block a user, a pop up will display the consequences.
