What Happens After You Report Someone

Reviewed by SubDom Editorial TeamLast updated 8 October 2026

Reporting can feel like shouting into a void. Here is what actually happens once you hit report.

1. When you submit a report

Reports go to the moderation team of the member platform that runs SubDom's member area, which is separate from this website. A person reviews each report. The platform's complaints and content removal policy, linked from its terms, sets out how reports are handled.

2. What to include

Describe what happened and where on the platform it took place, and add screenshots or other evidence if you have them. The platform asks for this so moderators can review the report against the reported account.

3. Possible outcomes

  • No further action when the available information does not establish a breach.
  • Removal of content or restrictions on the member's account.
  • Temporary suspension while further checks are completed.
  • Permanent removal for serious or repeated breaches.
  • Preservation or disclosure of relevant information when required by law or requested through a valid law-enforcement process.

4. Blocking versus reporting

Blocking is immediate and takes effect right away. Reporting additionally flags the account for the member platform's moderation team. The two are not the same action, and we would suggest doing both if you are ending contact with someone because of their behaviour.
