How do I get rid of a spammer message in my reply tab? It's been there for a month.

I’m annoyed

I believe blocking the person who sent you the @reply will remove the tweet from your Replies tab.

How can I block them? They aren't a follower.They just have a tweet in my reply tab.

You can block someone even if they're not a follower. Click on the username of the person who sent the @reply to go to their profile page. On that user's profile page, scroll down to the bottom of their sidebar and look for the "Block" link. Click that. 8-)

Thank you. It's not terribly obvious how to do that. I blocked them, but the reply is still there. Maybe it will eventually disappear.

I blocked someone and their message to me (sent via @ reply) is still listed on my replies page. The "replies" of blocked individuals should be blocked/hidden. Thanks.

I’m peeved

Hi joanmarie. I believe it takes some time for our Replies to reflect recent blocks we've made.

If you still have this problem after 24 hours, I suggest logging a support ticket at http://twitter.com/help
