Staying safe on Forever Canadian

You should feel comfortable on Forever Canadian. If another volunteer's post or behaviour is bothering you, here's what you can do.

Report a post

Both feed posts and posts inside a group have a three-dot menu at the top-right corner of the post. Open the menu and pick Report post. A small dialog opens where you can choose a reason (spam, harassment, off-topic, misinformation, or other) and add a short note. Once you submit, a moderator reviews the report.

You can report any given post once. If you've already reported a post inside a group, the menu shows Already reported instead.

For the full details on what can and can't be reported (and which surfaces have a Report option), see the reporting-content article.

What happens after a report

A moderator reads every report — usually within one business day — and either removes the post, edits it (which adds an "edited by a platform moderator" badge), warns the author, or closes the report if nothing was wrong.

The author of a reported post is never told who reported them. If their content is edited or removed, they get a notification, but it doesn't mention you.

When a moderator removes a post

Removed posts disappear from the feed. The author is notified that their post was taken down. See the when-an-admin-edits-or-removes-content article for what happens on the author's side.

Contacting support directly

If a problem doesn't fit a single post — repeated unwanted messages, behaviour at events, or anything that needs a real person to look at it — contact support. Open Support in the sidebar (near the bottom). You'll get a form where you can pick Safety Concerns as the topic and write what's going on. We aim to reply within one business day, and urgent safety matters get same-day attention.

In an emergency

This site is not the right place for an urgent safety concern. If someone is in danger, call your local emergency number first.
