gellenburg :heart_pride: :verified_gay:<p>1. If you're going to <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/report" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#report</a> somebody you need to give <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/examples" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#examples</a> of what <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/activity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activity</a> you're reporting. Just <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/reporting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reporting</a> a <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/profile" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#profile</a> and telling an <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/instance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#instance</a> <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/admin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#admin</a> that an <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/account" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#account</a> is being "<a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/spammy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spammy</a><span>" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.<br><br>2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a </span><a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/SCAM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCAM</a> account but offer up absolutely no <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/evidence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evidence</a> to support your <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/claim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#claim</a><span>.<br><br>3.

Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid <a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/reason" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reason</a><span> for reporting an account.<br><br>4. Another report without any basis or </span><a href="https://queerfedi.com/tags/justification" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#justification</a><span>.<br><br>5.
