Reporting a group post
Posts inside groups are held to the same rules as the national feed — no harassment, no hate speech, no spam. If you see one that breaks the rules, report it.
How to report
Click the More options button (three-dot icon) at the top-right of the post. Pick Report post. A short dialog opens.
Where the report goes
Group post reports go to the group's admins first — they show up in the Reports tab of the Admin panel, and every admin gets a notification. Admins are usually the right people to handle group-level issues. Our team gets the report too, as a backup.
What to write
Pick a reason from the fixed list:
- Spam — repeated, unrelated, or promotional content.
- Harassment — personal attacks, threats, or bullying.
- Off-topic — not relevant to this group's purpose.
- Misinformation — false or misleading information.
- Other — anything not covered above.
For Other, a short note explaining the issue is required. For the other reasons, just pick one and submit — the admin will read the post itself.
What happens next
The group admin reviews it — usually within one business day — and either removes the post, talks to the author, or closes the report. Our team steps in if the group admin doesn't respond, or if the post crosses a line that calls for site-wide action.
Will the author know I reported them?
No. Your name is never shared with the person you reported. If the post is edited or removed, the author may see a generic notice, but it doesn't mention you.
After you've reported
Once you've reported a post, the Report post menu item turns into Already reported and goes grey — you don't need to do it again.
What if the admin is the problem?
In the rare case the admin is the one breaking rules, report the post anyway — our team sees every report and will handle it directly.
