Reporting

See something that doesn't belong? Here's how to flag it so the right people can take action.

What you can report

You can report anything that breaks the community rules or platform policies. Reports are anonymous — the person you report won't know who flagged them.

A post or comment

Text, polls, or any written content that violates the rules.

An image or video

Uploaded media that's inappropriate, stolen, or breaks content policy.

A user

Someone whose behavior is consistently harmful — harassment, spam, impersonation.

An entire community

A fandom community whose mods aren't enforcing rules or that's become toxic.

How to report

Reporting takes about 10 seconds. Here's the step-by-step.

1

Find the report button

On any post, comment, or user profile, tap the three-dot menu and select 'Report'.

2

Choose a reason

Pick the category that best matches the issue — harassment, spam, NSFW, etc. You can add a note for context.

3

Submit and move on

That's it. The report goes to community mods first. If they don't act or if it's serious, it escalates to the TFM team.

What happens after you report

Reports go through a two-layer review: community moderators first, then TFM staff if needed. You won't always get a notification about the outcome, but every report is reviewed.

Good reports help everyone

Adding a short note explaining why you're reporting makes it way easier for mods to make the right call. 'This user has been spamming the same link in 3 communities' is more useful than just clicking 'spam'.

Don't abuse the report system

Filing fake reports, mass-reporting someone you disagree with, or weaponizing reports to harass another user is itself a violation. Repeated false reports can lead to your own account being restricted.
