The flagging process
...
If you flag something, it gets sent to a moderator for review. Your flag is anonymous, only the moderators can see who flagged a post, not the person who posted it or other members.
...
The post is reviewed: Moderators check to see if it breaks the rules.
Action is taken: The post might be removed, edited, or kept. The person who posted will be told about the action taken and why.
Resolution: The goal is to resolve flags within 72 hours to keep things running smoothly.
Flagging options

When you flag, you’ll choose from different options to explain why:
Off-topic: The post doesn’t fit the discussion or has veered off-topic from the rest of the thread.
Inappropriate: The content is offensive or goes against community rules or our terms and conditions.
Spam: The post is advertising or irrelevant.
Illegal: The post involves illegal activities.
Something else: If the post doesn’t fit any of the above, but still feels wrong or unsafe you can explain why.

Why flagging matters

Flagging helps keep our community a safe and welcoming place. It’s not just about removing bad content—it’s about making sure everyone feels comfortable and respected. Your flags play a big role in protecting the community.
