Reporting and Prioritisation

Reports are classified and prioritised based on category and urgency, and child-safety reports receive restricted handling.
Review Process
- Authorised reviewers examine relevant context and available metadata.
- Authorised reviewers examine only the information necessary for a report; sensitive evidence is not automatically displayed in general report queues.
- The reported user does not receive the reporter's identity.
- Showdek does not promise a fixed review time.

A review may result in:
- No action.
- Content visibility restriction.
- Content removal.
- Upload restriction.
- Messaging restriction.
- Interaction restriction.
- Temporary suspension.
