Article link: Reporting Uploaded Files

 

There might be a need to let the moderators of the site know about a particular upload page such as any of the following reasons (but not limited to just these):

 

* Illegal content

* Dishonorable content (uploaded against authors wishes)

* No file attached (for more than 48 hours)

* Broken download link

* Bogus file (joke, virus, non-related junk)

* False information

 

To report these kinds of issues, there are currently two ways you can report the file:

 

Method #1 - Quick-N-Easy for end-user reporting

 

Use the "Report File" button on the mod page.

If the problem is described well enough by the category you pick, then do not worry about adding a description.

The above method is fast to report but moderators have to access the admin area and run a report to see the issue which may mean it will not be handled in the same day.

 

Method #2 - More end-user clicks but faster visibility for moderators

 

Click the "Comments" tab, then click the "Report this Comment" for the very first post made which is usually the Plugin Manager / Site Bot.
