If you believe a post either violates the upload rules or is low quality, you may flag it for review. To flag a post, click the "Flag" link under the Options heading in the sidebar to the left of the post.
Flagging a post sends it to the moderation queue for review. The post has three days to be reviewed by the approval team. If the post is not reapproved after three days, the post will be deleted. This process is the same process that new uploads undergo.
Just because a post is flagged does not mean it will be deleted. Anyone may flag a post for any reason. A flagged post will only be deleted if no one on the approval team chooses to reapprove it after three days.
Please keep your flags civil and follow the community rules when flagging. Abusive flags can be reported in topic #13177.

- Low quality or off-topic content.
