-### Blacklisting specific events for specific contacts
+### Blacklisting
+
+#### Group blacklisting
+
+You can set the `settings.notifications.blacklistedGroups` variable to a list of
+contact groups you do not want to receive event notifications for.  
+This can be used in two ways:
+
+- if the contacts you do not want to receive the notifications for are already
+  in a group (e.g. you might have an 'Extended family' group containing the
+  contacts of far relatives whose birthdays you are not actually interested in)
+  you can add that group name to the `blacklistedGroups` list
+- if you have a certain number of contacts that you want to blacklist, but they
+  do not share a common group you can add them to a new group (e.g:
+  'GCEN-blacklist') and add that group name to the `blacklistedGroups` list
+
+#### Blacklisting specific events for specific contacts
 
 There are three event-types for which notifications can be statically
 enabled/disabled for by editing the `settings.notifications.eventTypes`
