Flag a community post

If a post in your room looks unsafe, unkind or wrong, you can flag it so a moderator knows. Flagging is quiet: nobody else in the room sees it.

Steps

1. Open the menu, then Support → Community (Community), and find the post.
2. Tap Flag under the post, beside Reply.
3. You'll see Flagged for a moderator. at the top of the page.

Good to know

• Flagging doesn't hide or remove the post. That's deliberate: otherwise a few members could take down any post they disagreed with, and in a health community that's often the accurate ones.
• Flagged posts appear at the top of the room for moderators, under Flagged by members, most-flagged first. A moderator reads the post and either leaves it up, which clears the flags, or removes it.
• The post's author isn't told that it was flagged or who flagged it.
• You can't flag your own post, so the Flag button doesn't appear on it.
• A post that tells someone what to do with their medication is usually held for review before anyone else sees it, so you may never come across one.
• If someone seems to be in danger, don't rely on a flag. In an emergency, call 911.
