On any poem, comment, or profile, open the menu, choose "Report," pick a reason, and submit — our team typically reviews within 48 hours. Full walkthrough: Block, mute, or report a user →
You can report a poem, comment, photo, video, status post, direct message, or an entire profile. Open the ⋯ (or dismiss) menu on the item, choose Report, and pick the reason that fits best — the options are tailored to what you're reporting.

Block is a hard cut — the other person loses access to your profile and inbox and you stop seeing each other around the site. Mute is a quiet filter — someone stops appearing in your stream for 30 days without losing any access and without being told. Report flags content or an account to our team for review. You can use them together. Full walkthrough →

Some situations have their own higher-priority routes. To take down a private intimate image or video of you, use Image Removal. To report child sexual abuse material or a child in danger, see Reporting child sexual abuse material. If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number first.
Closing your account permanently deletes your profile, poems, comments, messages, and follower connections. This action cannot be undone. You can pause your account instead if you just need a break. Close, pause, or reactivate your account →
Yes — pause your account instead of closing it. Pausing hides your profile and poems temporarily and is fully reversible: sign back in whenever you're ready and pick up where you left off. How pausing and reactivating work →
