Visual Space manual, Reports, Report A Post Or Article

Use this guide to send a clear, private concern about a post or loaded article for review. Reporting asks someone with the right space access to examine the content against a selected rule. **It does not automatically hide or remove the content.**

Send a clear concern about a post or loaded article for review. You will choose a rule, add context if needed, and check that the submission succeeded. Reporting does not automatically remove the content.

Find The Right Item

Sign in and open the post or article you mean to report. Check its space, especially if you found it in a feed containing several communities.

•
Open the content menu - Look for Report on the post or loaded article. A post's maintainer menu offers moderation controls instead.
•
Choose Report - Wait for the rule choices and note field to appear.
•
Check the space name - Confirm that the local-rule option refers to the intended community. If it does not, close the form and return to the correct content.


The loaded article menu offers the same pre-action entry without exposing a reason or submission screen.

Choose A Rule And Add Context

•
Select the closest rule - Choose a specific Visual Space rule for a platform-wide concern, or Breaks [space name] rules for a local expectation. Selecting a rule reveals its description and enables the submit button.
•
Read the rules if needed - Use the form's Platform rules or space rules link. The local link opens public community guidance; return to the content and reopen the form if necessary.
•
Add a User Note when helpful - Identify the passage or context that explains your concern. The field is optional, so leave it empty if the selected rule makes the issue clear.

The local-rule option does not enumerate every community rule. Naming the relevant expectation in your note can help the reviewer understand your choice.

Submit And Confirm

•
Select Report - Submit once you have checked the rule and note. The form closes while the request is sent.
•
Wait for confirmation - Look for Report submitted. A closed form alone does not establish success.
•
Respond to an error - If the request fails, reopen Report and recheck your rule and note before trying again. The closed form has no in-place retry.

The task is complete when the success message confirms that your concern was accepted for review. You may still see the post afterward; visibility does not tell you whether a report was received.

What Happens Next

Ordinary readers do not see a public report marker. Other members can submit independent concerns about the same content, and an authorized reviewer assesses each case.

Posts have the complete in-space review journey. Loaded articles can offer submission, but do not assume they have the same moderation-queue coverage or visible follow-up. This guide does not cover reporting messages, comments, raw files, or profiles.
