How to Flag a Post

Flagging asks a moderator to look at a post because you believe it should not be on the site.

Good reasons to flag

• It breaks the upload rules.
• It is a duplicate of a post that is already here.
• It is a worse copy of an existing post — smaller, watermarked, or lower quality.
• The file is broken or corrupted.

Not reasons to flag

• You do not like the ship, the character, or the art style.
• The tags or rating are wrong — just fix them yourself.
• A duplicate that is actually a different version. Link them as parent and child instead.

When you flag

Explain clearly why. "Duplicate of post #123" is useful; "bad" is not. Flags are reviewed by a person, and flagging posts without good reason may cost you the ability to flag.

To report a user rather than a post, use the report tools instead.
