Process

To file a complaint, click the “File a complaint” button below. You will then be prompted to supply additional information to facilitate our investigation. Once we have received the necessary information, your complaint will be reviewed. Within seven business days, we will remove the content in question and ensure the content does not resurface. We may also take action against the poster. Should we decline your complaint, you will have the option to restart the process.
