# Reporting & Blocking

> Report content or a profile to the Seed Scroll administrators, and block an account so you and they no longer see each other.

Seed Scroll gives you two separate tools, and they do different jobs.

**Reporting** tells the Seed Scroll administrators that something breaks the rules. It is a message to us, and nothing changes in your app.

**Blocking** is yours alone. It takes effect immediately, it is silent, and it does not involve an administrator.

You can do both to the same account.

## Report content

You can report a study, a reading plan, or an audio playlist from the screen where you are reading or listening to it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the content">
    Open the public study, reading plan, or audio playlist you want to report.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap Report">
    The report action names what you are reporting, so you can be sure you have the right item before you send anything.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a reason">
    Pick the category that fits best. A reason is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add anything else">
    You can add an explanation and attach a screenshot. Both are optional.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    You will see a confirmation that the report was sent.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Report a profile

Open the person's profile and tap **Report User**. The flow is the same as reporting content, and the reasons are the same.

You cannot report your own profile.

## Reasons you can choose

| Reason | Covers |
| - | - |
| Biblical rejection or anti-biblical proselytizing | Content that denies or rejects any book of the Bible, denies that Jesus is the Messiah, or intentionally attempts to lead people away from the Bible |
| Harassment or bullying | Targeting or intimidating another person |
| Threats or violence | Threatening harm |
| Hate or hateful conduct | Attacking people for who they are |
| Spam or fraudulent behavior | Advertising, scams, repetitive posting |
| Sexual or inappropriate content | Sexual material, or content unsuited to the app |
| Impersonation | Pretending to be someone else |
| Other | Anything the categories above do not cover |

<Note>
  Disagreeing about how a passage should be interpreted is not biblical rejection. Seed Scroll is a place where students read the same verse and see different things in it, and that is not something to report.
</Note>

## What happens after you report

* **Your report is anonymous.** The person you reported is never told who reported them.
* **An administrator reviews it.** Reports go to the Seed Scroll administrators, not to an automated system.
* **Nothing is hidden, blocked, or removed automatically.** Submitting a report does not take the content down, and it does not block the account.

If you also want to stop seeing that person, block them. Reporting alone will not do it.

## Block an account

Blocking is immediate, and it works in both directions.

You can block someone from their profile, or from a study, reading plan, or playlist they created, using **Block author**.

Before it takes effect, Seed Scroll tells you exactly what will happen. When you block someone:

* You no longer see their studies, verse notes, reading plans, or playlists
* They no longer see yours
* Any follow between you is removed, in both directions
* Notifications between you are deleted
* **They are not told they have been blocked**

That last point matters if you are getting away from someone: the block is silent.

Blocking requires an account, since there is no block list without one. See [Guest mode](/getting-started/guest-mode).

## See who you have blocked

Open **Settings** and find **Blocked accounts**. The list shows every account you have blocked.

## Unblock someone

Open **Blocked accounts**, choose the account, and tap **Unblock**.

You will be able to see each other's work again. **Following is not restored** — if you followed each other before the block, you will each need to follow again.
