What happens next
- We aim to review reports within 24 hours.
- You can report the same thing once.
- The person isn't told who reported them. They only see how many people reported it, and the main reason.
- If several people report the same thing quickly, it's hidden automatically until a moderator checks it. See Why something you posted is hidden.
- Moderators can hide or remove it, warn the person, or suspend their account.
In a circle chat, the circle's admins can also be alerted about reported messages.

Reporting doesn't stop them seeing you. To do that, block them as well. See Block or unblock someone.
