Report and block

Reporting something

Section titled “Reporting something”

You can report people, plans, groups, comments, photos, churches and events.

  1. Tap … on the content or profile and choose Report («Melden»). Report comments and photos with a long press.
  2. Choose a reason:
    • Spam
    • Harassment or bullying («Belästigung oder Mobbing»)
    • Hate or incitement («Hass oder Hetze»)
    • Sexual content («Sexuelle Inhalte»)
    • Violence («Gewalt»)
    • Endangering minors («Gefährdung von Minderjährigen»)
    • Person needs help («Person braucht Hilfe»)
    • False identity («Falsche Identität»)
    • Person is under 16 («Person ist unter 16»)
    • Other («Anderes»)
  3. Optional: describe what’s going on under Details.
  4. Tap Report.

The platform team reviews every report. Reports about protecting minors and “Person needs help” have priority. The reported person does not find out who reported them.

What happens after a report

Section titled “What happens after a report”
  • You reported: you get a notice once the report has been reviewed, with the outcome: action taken or no violation. What exactly was decided only the person affected learns.
  • You are affected: you receive the decision with a statement of reasons by email, as a notification and in the app under the bell (“Notice from the platform team”). It also shows which content is meant.

Possible decisions are: hiding content, a warning, a temporary or permanent suspension. Accounts of people under 16 are suspended and deleted after 30 days. The rules are in the community guidelines.

Appeal

Section titled “Appeal”

If you disagree with a decision, reply to the email with the decision or write to contact@yachad.social. The platform team then reviews the decision again. A suspension can be lifted if it was wrong.

Blocking someone

Section titled “Blocking someone”
  1. Open the person’s profile and tap ….
  2. Choose Block {name} («{Name} blockieren») and confirm with Block.

Afterwards they no longer see your profile, RSVPs and plans and cannot invite you to groups. Your friendship ends. The person is not notified.

Unblocking

Section titled “Unblocking”

Profile → Settings → Privacy → Blocked people («Blockierte Personen»), then Unblock («Nicht mehr blockieren») next to the person. An ended friendship does not come back; you can send each other requests again.
