If something on Scholardemia breaks the rules, report it and the moderation team will review it. Reports can be filed against most content types, including posts, comments, news items, documents, profiles, jobs, events, datasets, and charts. In the app you can also report messages and conversations.
Report content
Open the menu on the item
On a post, for example, open the menu in the corner of the card and choose Report post. Other content types carry an equivalent report option.
Choose a reason
Pick the reason that fits best: copyright infringement, impersonation, spam, harassment or abuse, misleading or inaccurate, unlawful content, or other.
Add details and submit
A short description of the problem helps the reviewers act quickly, especially for copyright and impersonation reports.
What happens next
The moderation team reviews every report within 24 hours. Content that breaks the rules is removed from Scholardemia, and accounts that post objectionable content are removed too, as the Terms of Service set out. Reporting is confidential; the author is not told who reported them.
Block an account
Block an account from its profile. In the app you can also block from a one-to-one conversation (its header or details) or from the ··· menu on a post or comment. A blocked account can’t message you, follow you, mention you, or comment on your posts, and you won’t see its content. It isn’t told.
To unblock an account, open Blocked accounts: in the app under Settings → Privacy, on the website under Settings → Privacy & data.
Muting & quieter options
For things that are unwelcome rather than against the rules, you have softer tools:
- Mute a chat conversation to stop its notifications without leaving it.
- Unfollow a researcher or topic to take their content out of your streams.
