Receiving Notifications for Flagged Content

If you are logged in to the event when a chat is flagged, a broadcast notification will appear in the bottom left corner of your screen. Clicking the notification will redirect you to the page where the chat was flagged and allow you to review and moderate the content.

Taking Action for Flagged Content

Once you are notified of flagged content, navigate to the event page where it appears and click the Flags tab in the Chat window on the right side of the screen. This tab contains all content that has been flagged for your review. If a chat is part of a message thread, you will be able to see the entire thread to understand the context of the flagged chat. The number in the pink circle tells you how many people have flagged each chat.

Several options are available to you when reviewing the flagged chat.

Delete

Click the trash can icon to permanently delete the post.

Remove All Flags

Click the ellipses icon to remove the flag and the flagged label from the chat (This post is pending review by a moderator.).

The chat will remain in the Flags tab even if its flag is removed, although no further action is needed.

Tip: If a user undoes their flag and no other users flag the post, it will be removed from the Flags tab.

Report and hide this Post

This is the same flag option that users click when flagging the post. When moderating content, you likely will not use this option.
