PopIn moderates user reports, but we need you to flag content before we can review it. Reporting is anonymous, the person being reported is never told who reported them.
File a report
Open the 3-dot menu on the item
Works on posts, comments, events, profiles, and messages. Tap Report.
Pick a reason
Spam, harassment, hate speech, misinformation, nudity, violence, illegal content, intellectual property, or "something else". Pick the closest fit, moderators read the detail field for nuance.
(Optional) add context
Anything that helps a moderator understand what's going on. Optional, but it speeds things up.
Submit
Your report lands in the moderation queue. You'll get an in-app notification when it's been reviewed.
Possible outcomes
| Outcome | What it means |
|---|---|
| No action | The content was within the rules, or the report was a false alarm |
| Warning | The content stays, but the person gets a message from the moderation team |
| Content removed | The reported post/comment/message/event comes down |
| Account suspended | Temporary ban for repeat or severe violations |
| Account removed | For egregious or repeat-after-suspension violations |
Anonymity
The person you reported is never told who reported them. If their content is removed they get an in-app notice that an action was taken, but it reads as platform policy and never names you or the moderator.
Auto-hide for high report volume
If enough separate reports land on the same post, comment, or event, PopIn auto-hides it pending review so it stops spreading while moderators get to it. A moderator then either removes it or restores it.
Want to block them too?
Reporting and blocking are separate. Reporting routes content to moderators; blocking cuts the person off from your account. You can do both.
For threats of immediate harm, doxxing, or illegal content, contact local authorities as well. PopIn's moderation queue isn't a substitute for emergency services.
