What happens when I report a post, List, or Direct Message?
- The original content of reported posts will be replaced with a notice stating that you reported it. Additionally, you may click through and view the post should you wish.
- Reporting a post or List does not automatically result in the account being suspended.
- Reported messages and conversations will disappear from your inbox and cannot be recovered.
Why do I see a “suspicious content” warning in my Direct Messages?
>x< will hide messages that might be suspicious or contain suspicious URLs (e.g. spam-related). You can let us know if the message is OK or if it is spam:
- Tap the “suspicious content” warning to view the Message.
- If the message looks like spam, tap This is Spam to report it.
- If the message is not suspicious, tap Message OK to keep it in your inbox.
What’s the difference between reporting an account and reporting a post or List?
Reporting a post or List allows you to indicate what specific post or List you think is in violation of the >x< Rules or Terms of Service. If the account is violating >x< policies without posting a post, List, or Direct Message (for example, mass following large numbers of accounts), then you should report the account as spam.
