- They won't be able to mention you in posts or comments on Google+, or comment on anything you've posted on Google+.
- You’ll be removed from each other's circles. They also won't be able to add you to circles.
- If the person you block is an owner or moderator of a Community you belong to, they can still see and moderate your comments and posts.
