How to report content

As a Blink user, you are able to report any user generated content to the designated moderator(s) in your organisation.

This article covers:

You can report:

  • Feed content, including posts, comments and Stories.

  • Chat and channels messages (if your Organisation has turned this functionality on).

You'll need to provide a reason why you have made the report, and it will be sent to a moderator to be reviewed.

Moderators:

Your report will be moderated by one of the following users:

  • A Group Admin:

Group Admins moderate the content that they administrate. If you report content from the Feed or from a channel where Operations Group was the audience, then the Operations Group Admin(s) will process your report.

  • An Organisation or People Admin:

Organisation or People Admins are responsible for moderating your reports in a number of scenarios.

  1. When there is no Group Admin assigned: your report is escalated to Organisation and People Admins if there is no assigned Group Admin to oversee the report.

  2. When content isn't associated to a Group: your report will be moderated by an Organisation or People Admin if the content wasn't shared with an established Blink Group.

There are a few simple steps for making a report.
