### 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.
