How Does BateWorld Handle Reports?

Like many sites featuring user-generated content, BateWorld relies on its members to help us spot when things aren’t quite right. Anyone on the site can report anything to us for a closer review.

Any place you find the flag icon ( ⚑ ), or see the 'Report a Problem' link, you’ll be able to open a short form that will allow you to flag media, comments, blog posts, or anything else you find on the site, that should be reviewed by the BateWorld team. In any situation that requires more information, we welcome quick screenshots of what you’re seeing to help us better understand the situation. You can upload these right from the report form. 

Every report submitted automatically opens a new help desk ticket, so that we can keep track of issues from start to finish. Reports are reviewed one at a time and an individual decision is made about what action comes next. Content which violates the ToS agreement or is not in line with the overall BateWorld Community Guidelines might be hidden or permanently deleted and the poster issued a warning. Repeat offenses will likely result in the poster being removed from the site entirely. We may reach out to you if we require additional information or details about an issue you’ve reported. 

We take each and every report seriously, and strive to provide an outcome in the best interest of all members. We recognize too, that we don’t always get it right. If you continue to see ToS-violating content or users on the site, don’t hesitate to share another report. There is no algorithmic assistance or AI involved in our systems—real guys review each and every ticket received. Sometimes a second look is all it takes to spot a problem we missed the first time. 

If you are unsure about whether or not a comment or piece of content violates the ToS, Content Policies or Community Guidelines, the best thing you can do is to send it our way. BateWorld becomes a better, stronger, and safer community with each problem we’re able to address quickly. And we can’t do it without you.
