Report a user

Flag someone's account or profile so it can be reviewed.

What reporting does

Reporting sends the account to Root for review, along with the reason you pick. The person is not told that you reported them.

Reporting does not stop the person contacting you. If you want them to stop, see Block and unblock users. To report a single message rather than the whole account, see Report a message.

Report a user

Desktop

Reporting someone from their profile is not available on desktop yet. Send the report to us through the support form instead:

1. Select the Support icon (question mark) in the title bar, or select your profile picture in the user tray and then select Support.
2. Choose the Other category.
3. Enter a title, then describe who you are reporting and why. Include their username.
4. Select Submit.

Your report reaches us as a support ticket. For more about the form, see Report an issue.

Mobile

1. Tap the person's avatar to open their profile. You can do this from a community member list, a text channel, or your friends list.
2. Under User actions, tap Report.
3. Select a reason for reporting the account.

5. Tap Report.

Root confirms with User reported and returns you to the profile.
