How do I report a post or a comment?
Open the post menu, select Report post, pick a reason and submit. Reports go to the moderation team. A post reported by three different people is hidden from the feed straight away, while it is reviewed.
Report it
- Open the post menu
Select the three dot Post options button.
- Select Report post
A dialog titled Report post opens.
- Pick a reason
Spam or scam, Fake job or fraud, Harassment or hate, Misinformation, Nudity or violence, or Something else.
- Add details
Optional for most reasons, required for Something else. Up to 500 characters.
- Select Submit report
You get a confirmation once the team has it, for example Report submitted, fake job or fraud. Our team will review it.
