Have you found something on Sudomemo that violates our Terms and/or Content Policy? Not to fear; here you can learn how to report such content to us, to help keep the platform safe and appropriate for everyone!

What should I know before reporting?

Before submitting a report, you should consider which of our rules have been broken. Although we’ve done our best to make our Terms and Content Policy as clear and transparent as possible, Flipnote reports are categorized to help clarify what is and isn’t allowed on our platform and to cut down on false reports. Currently, a Flipnote report can be submitted under any one of the following categories:

– Misuse of spin-off function (stolen/non-derivative work)

– Spam (no meaningful content)

– Bullying, discrimination, harassment or libel

– Impersonation or other fraudulent activities

– Use of very strong language, or frequent use of strong language (see our Content Policy for more clarification)

– Sexual themes or content

– Graphic content, excessive violence, gore, blood or body horror

– Roleplay posted to non-roleplay channel

– Substance abuse or drug references

– Flashing more than four times in one second

When you submit a report, our moderators will manually assess whether or not a rule violation has taken place, and take appropriate action (if any) depending on the context and severity of this behavior. Submitting a report does not guarantee that action will be taken, and any action taken is at the sole discretion of our moderators. Additionally, you can only submit one report per Flipnote.

If action is taken as a result of your report, you may receive a Neighborhood Watch ticket in your inventory as a token of gratitude from us. Redeeming a Neighborhood Watch ticket will earn you 1 green star and the Neighborhood Watch badge (if you didn’t already have it).

For larger and/or ongoing issues, we recommend getting in touch with us directly via our email or the SudoModMail bot on our Discord server, as this will help us solve the problem as swiftly as possible.
