Moderation actions

Summary

Learn what a manual Admin review can mean for a reported story, its labels, or its availability, and where to look for the outcome.

Steps

1. Read the notice in Account or the relevant story-status area and identify which story, label, or account feature it names.
2. Follow any correction or information request in the notice; do not repost content that has been removed or restricted while review is pending.
3. For a report you submitted, keep the confirmation and wait for the review outcome rather than sending repeated copies.
4. If the notice says the action is eligible for appeal, use its appeal instructions and provide relevant context.

What to expect

• A report does not itself delete a story; one report removes it from general Explore, while three distinct reports hide it from all readers until review.
• After review, the Admin may leave content available, correct a label, restrict it, or remove it as allowed by the published policies.
• The creator is told that a report is under review and receives the outcome; report handling is separate from account sign-in support.

Troubleshooting

• If you cannot find the notice or case information, check the story status and signed-in Account before contacting Support.
• If an appeal link is missing or does not open, use the moderation-appeal-help category and include the case reference if available.
• For a decision you believe is wrong, address the stated reason with specific evidence and avoid sending passwords or unrelated data.
