Reporting an event

What to do if an event breaks the rules.

Most events on PopIn are totally fine. Sometimes one isn't, scam fundraisers, hate-group meetups, dangerous misinformation. Report it and our team will take a look.

Report an event

1

Open the event page

From the event link, a notification, or your guest list.

2

3-dot menu → Report event

The reporting dialog opens with the reason list.

3

Pick a reason and add context

Spam, harassment, hate speech, misinformation, illegal content, or "something else". Links or details in the context field are especially helpful for events.

4

Submit

Anonymous, the host isn't told who reported. You'll get an in-app notice once a moderator reviews it.

Possible outcomes

No action, the content removed, or the host warned, suspended, or removed for repeat or severe violations. See how content moderation works for the full picture.

Auto-hide for high report volume

Note

If enough people report the same event, it's auto-hidden from search and recommendations while we review. A moderator then removes it or restores it.

If you were invited to an event you reported

You can still leave or change your RSVP normally, reporting doesn't touch your invitation. If the event is later removed, it simply comes down.

Important

For threats of immediate violence, weapons, or other time-sensitive emergencies, contact local authorities as well. PopIn's moderation queue isn't a substitute for emergency services.
