Reporting content

Sometimes you'll read something that you think breaks our online community house rules and shouldn't be allowed on the online community, or perhaps you just think the Online Community Team should be told about it.

To report content that concerns you:

1. Scroll down to the reaction bar (at the bottom of the discussion or comment) and select the Flag button.
2. An additional menu will open which includes the option Report.
3. Select Report.
4. This will open either the Report discussion or Report comment menu.
5. The report menu will show the content you are reporting, scroll down to Reason to tell us why you're reporting the content.

Reason

Using this menu you can select the Reason you want to report the discussion or comment from the following options:

• Harassing or threatening
• Insensitive or disrespectful
• Abusive, offensive, defamatory, discriminatory or inappropriate
• Misleading or harmful to others
• Personal information
• Medical advice
• Against the law
• Advertising or crowdfunding
• Infringing copyright
• Other

Sometimes you won’t know the exact reason you think a discussion or comment should be reported to the Online Community Team but you just want to let us know about it. In this case, select Other.

Notes

In the Notes text field you can tell us more information about why you are reporting the discussion or comment.

Cancel

If you decide you don’t want to report the discussion or comment, select the Cancel button.

Send Report

If you’re ready to send the report, select the Send Report button.

What happens next?

Where possible we will send a private message to your account letting you know that we have received your report. Sometimes this might not be possible, but we try to acknowledge reports in most cases.

If after we review the reported discussion or comment, we decide to take action, our policy of not discussing other members or our moderation of their accounts means it is unlikely we will be able to tell you what action we took or what the outcome of that action was.
