Use the route that fits the problem
Complaints and appeals
Report harmful content from its thread or ask for a moderation decision affecting you to be reviewed.
Last updated 17 July 2026Report a point or comment
Open the affected point and use its private Report control. Choose the closest reason and describe the problem without repeating unnecessary private, graphic or illegal material. Reports about child safety, potentially illegal content or personal information receive urgent queue priority. A report is not a public reply and does not establish that the reported material is unlawful.
Appeal a moderation decision
Use the form below only where a moderation action affected your contribution or access. Provide the point URL, comment reference, decision number or restriction reference and explain what was misunderstood. The service privately checks whether the action belongs to your current account or anonymous identity without revealing another person’s records. Permanent restrictions and critical cases require owner review.
What the current appeal system does
A valid form creates a moderation case. An authorised moderator can uphold or overturn the action and record a reason. The current service does not provide public case tracking and does not automatically email the outcome. Do not include an email address, password, authenticator code or other unnecessary personal information in the statement.
General and data-protection complaints
The moderation appeal form below is not a general contact form or a data-rights request channel. Use the secure privacy request form for a data-rights request or data-protection complaint, including a complaint about how personal information was handled. Use the content Report control for an urgent privacy exposure on a point or comment. The service does not yet provide a monitored route for unrelated general enquiries.
External regulators and emergencies
You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office about data protection. Ofcom accepts information about regulated online services but does not resolve individual disputes with a platform. For immediate danger in the UK, call 999. Do not send illegal material to the service or a regulator unless an authorised process specifically requires it.
