If you feel a post, comment, or a direct messages crosses the line, or if you just feel it is something a staff member should see, then you can report it to be reviewed by the Mighty Mod Team.
If you want to no longer interact with another Mighty member or to see any content from them, you can block them.
Group Leaders also have the option to ban a member from a group. Only group members can interact with group posts, so banning a member prevents them from interacting with any member posts in the group.
Reporting and blocking overview
What does reporting do?
Reporting a post, comment, or direct message sends the content to the Mighty Mod Team to be reviewed.
If a Mighty Mod determines that the content violates The Mighty's policies, then the content could be deleted. Additional action could be taken depending on the type and the severity of the violation.
What should I report?
If you feel a post, comment, or a direct message crosses the line, or if you just feel it is something a staff member should see, then we encourage you to report it.
Please always report the following:
You are concerned for another user’s safety
You are receiving problematic messages from someone
You suspect the content or actions violate The Mighty's Community Policy or The Mighty's Terms and Conditions
What does blocking do?
Blocking a Mighty member will prevent that member from interacting with your posts or comments or sending you direct messages. You will also not be able to see any of their posts or comments or direct message them.
Why should I block someone?
You can block a member on the site for any reason.
We encourage you to do what makes you comfortable, and to block members who make you uncomfortable. You are welcome and encouraged to set your personal boundaries and cultivate your personal experience on The Mighty in the way that's best for you.

How to report and block from Direct Messages
As with public posts on The Mighty, Direct Messages can be reported to The Mighty staff for review. You can also report users if necessary. You should do this if you are concerned for another user’s safety, or if you are receiving problematic messages from someone.
To report something within a specific conversation, access the Mighty Support System via the shield icon found in the upper right.
To report individual messages from a user, choose the Alert Staff option. You can select up to five messages to include in the report, and you can also provide additional information about your concerns.
The Report User option is also available here. You can provide information to The Mighty staff about your reason for the report before submitting it.
The Unfollow and Block options are available here as well. Either option will prevent a user from Direct Messaging you in the future.
You can also unfollow, block or report a user via their profile page. You can manage blocked users in the Privacy section of your Settings.
