Preliminary information
Before going into the details of this guide and explaining, in detail, how to ban on youtube, it might be useful to know when it is possible to ban a user on the famous Google video sharing platform and what a ban entails for the blocked user.
First of all, you must know that it is possible to ban not only users who have commented on your video or who have left a comment during a live broadcast or in the section Discussion of your YouTube channel, but that you can also block a user who has never interacted with your content.
That said, the blocked user will not receive any notification of your ban and will be able to continue posting comments on your channel videos and in chat during live broadcasts. The comments in question, however, will not be visible to other YouTube users. For live videos, it is also possible to apply temporary bans of 300 seconds: in this case, the user will not be able to comment and will see the message "You have been timed out by the video owner or a moderator".
Finally, it will be useful to know that at any time you can retrace your steps and "unblock" a previously banned user. By doing so, all his comments posted during the ban period will not be displayed on your channel anyway.
