# Moderation on Steeple

### Overview

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

### Tools for all users

#### Report a post

If a post seems inappropriate:

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

#### Report a user

To report a collaborator's behavior:

1. Go to the **profile** of the person
2. Click on the post menu **"..."**
3. Select **Report**
4. Administrators are notified

#### Block a user

Blocking allows you to hide a collaborator's activity from your own feed:

1. Go to the **profile** of the person
2. Click on the post menu **"..."**
3. Select **Block**

When a user is blocked:

* Their posts, comments and messages become **invisible** to you only
* Their profile information is hidden
* Blocking is **reversible** at any time (unblock from the same menu)
* 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 collaborator's access:

* The collaborator 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 collaborator?" for the procedure

#### Delete a collaborator

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

### What the assistant can do

With the Administration scope, the assistant can suspend, reactivate or remove a collaborator from the organization. They cannot manage reports or user blocks.
