Spot members and admins can report : 

* a message in a live discussion

* a message in a live
* a topic

To do this, click on the `Report` button in the top right-hand corner of the message or topic. A side panel opens, where you can enter :

* A reason from a list of possible reasons: `Offensive speech or discrimination`, `Inappropriate content`, `Harassment`, `Disinformation`, `Spam` or `Other (to be specified in the comments section)`.
* A comment to provide further clarification if necessary.
* If you're admin, you can also delete the message directly using the switch at the bottom of the side panel.

{% hint style="info" %}

* The same message or topic can be reported several times by different members.
* I cannot report one of my own posts or topics.
  {% endhint %}

When a member reports a message or topic : 

* On the message or topic, a message informs admins and the reporting member of the status of the post.
* :love\_letter: For each message or topic reported, the Spot admins receive an in-app notification and an email.

### Reporting management

Once a message or topic has been flagged, the admins must validate or reject the flag. To do this, from the `Moderation` page in the `Manage my Spot` menu, a table lists all the alerts on the Spot.

* If you select one or more lines, a `Warn author(s)` button appears. This allows you to warn the authors of the selected messages. **All selected reports will automatically be approved.**

To view the details of the alert, click on it: a drawer will open! Use the buttons at the bottom to approve or reject the alert.

* If you click on `Approve report`, a confirmation modal will appear, allowing you to confirm your choice. From this modal, you can also delete the message and/or warn the message's author. :love\_letter: The author of the last alert receives an in-app notification, and the author of the message an e-mail.
* If you click on `Decline report`, a confirmation modal will allow you to validate your choice. From this modal, you can also delete the message.

### Warn a member
