## Overview

If a comment breaks the rules or doesn't belong in a discussion, you can flag it for review. Flagging quietly alerts the people who can moderate the discussion — and if enough people flag the same comment, it's removed automatically.

## How to report (flag) a comment

1. Find the comment or reply you want to report.
2. Click the **⋮** (more options) menu in the top-right corner of the comment.
3. Choose **Flag**. A **Flag comment** window opens.
4. Optionally add a reason — the box explains *"Optional. Tell moderators why this comment should be reviewed."* You can leave it blank.
5. Click **Flag comment** to submit. You'll see a **Comment flagged** confirmation.

## What happens after you flag

* Your flag is sent to the discussion's owner and your organisation's administrators for review. The comment stays visible for now.
* If a comment collects **three** separate flags from different people, it's removed automatically.
* Reporting is anonymous to the comment's author — they aren't told who flagged their comment.

## Things to keep in mind

* You can flag a comment once. If you try to flag the same comment again, you'll be told *"You have already flagged this comment"* — a second attempt doesn't count twice toward removal.
* You can't flag your own comment. If you want to remove something you posted, edit or delete it instead.
* You can only flag comments while the discussion is **active**.
* A removed comment isn't gone forever — moderators can still see it and can restore it if the flag was a mistake.

## FAQs

**Does the person know I flagged their comment?**
No. Flagging is anonymous to the comment's author; only moderators are notified that a comment needs review.

**What happens when I flag a comment?**
Nothing changes for other readers right away. The discussion owner and your administrators are notified, and the comment is removed automatically once three different people have flagged it.

**Can I flag the same comment twice?**
No. Each person can flag a comment once. A repeat attempt shows a message that you've already flagged it and doesn't affect the count.

**Why can't I flag my own comment?**
You don't need to — you can edit or delete your own comments directly. Flagging is for reporting other people's comments.

## Who can do this

The **Flag** option appears to people who want to report someone else's comment — **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users can flag comments they can see. You can't flag your own comment. **Owners** and **Admins** don't see a **Flag** option because they moderate discussions directly (hiding or removing comments), and an **Owner** or **Admin** who removes a comment does so immediately rather than through the flag threshold.
