# Moderation on Steeple

### Introduction

Steeple offers moderation tools that enable users and administrators to maintain a healthy sharing environment.

### Tools for all users

#### Report a post

If a post seems inappropriate:

1. Click the menu **"..."** for the post
2. Select **Report**
3. Community administrators are notified by notification and email

#### Report a user

To report a colleague's behavior:

1. Go to the **full profile** of the person
2. Click the menu **⋮** (three dots)
3. Select **Report**
4. Administrators are notified

#### Block a user

Blocking makes it possible to hide a colleague's activity from your own feed:

1. Go to the **full profile** of the person
2. Click the menu **⋮** (three dots)
3. Select **Block**

When a user is blocked:

* Their posts, comments, and messages become **invisible** for you only
* Their profile information is hidden
* Blocking is **reversible** at any time: on their full profile, click **Unblock**
* The blocked person is not **notified** of the block

### Tools for administrators

From Administration, moderation actions (suspension, deletion, report management) are accessible from a member's actions menu.

#### Suspend a collaborator

An administrator can temporarily suspend a colleague's access:

* The colleague can no longer access Steeple (a suspension page is displayed)
* They no longer receive Notifications during the suspension
* The suspension is **reversible** : the account and data are retained
* See the article "How do I suspend or reactivate a colleague?" for the procedure

#### Delete a colleague

An administrator can permanently delete a colleague from the organization. This action is irreversible. See the article "How do I remove a colleague from the organization?".

### What the assistant can do

With the Administration scope, the assistant can suspend, reactivate, or remove a colleague from the organization. It cannot manage reports or blocks between users.
