Reporting content and staying safe

Every beehiiv community is run by its owner and moderators, backed by beehiiv's own protections. If you see something that doesn't belong such as spam or harassment, here's how to handle it.

1. Open the content's action menu.
2. Select Report post (or Report comment).
3. Optionally, tell us more about why you're reporting it.
4. Confirm.

Your report goes to the community's team for review. Reporting is private: the author isn't told who reported them.

Messages can be reported too: open the message's options and select Report message, with an optional reason. The community's admins see only the specific message you reported, not your whole conversation.

The community's admins review reports and decide what to do: resolve, remove the content, or remove the member. You won't get any notifications, but action on the content (like removal) is visible in the community itself.

If you've reported something before and it's still there, you have a direct line:

1. Report the content again.
2. Check I have reported this multiple times before.
3. Select Report to beehiiv.

This sends your report — with a link to the content — straight to beehiiv, separate from the community's own review. Use it when content violates beehiiv's platform rules and the community's team hasn't acted.

You're never the only line of defense. Every post, comment, and message in every beehiiv community is automatically checked against beehiiv's content policies. The most serious content is removed by beehiiv automatically, and lower-severity issues are flagged to the community's team without anyone needing to report them.
