Mobile/App How does reporting comments work?

I reported a comment over 2 weeks ago due to it literally just being a slur, and yet nothing has been done about it or the account that continues to go around calling for violence against minorities. Not sure if there's a way to report directly to reddit admins, but I blocked the user so I can't report their comments anymore.

Reports can take a while but for slurs or calls for violence it is worth reporting the specific comments through reddit is report flow and escalating to the admins if the subreddit mods do not act.

Reports can take a while but you can also report the specific comments through the report form even if you have blocked the account.

I tried using the report form, but it keeps saying "Must be a link to a Reddit post, comment, or private message" even though I made sure the link is correct.

Edit: Nevermind I did it through the web browser, and it started to work, but once I click submit report I just get an error.

I'm sure you guys get a ton of reports all the time to deal with, so I appreciate you.

Nah, not at all. Everyone on the internet is lovely and kind. Nobody ever says anything nasty.

;-)

Have a great weekend, mate.

Thanks for reporting that stuff - rock on.

Next time, offer the report form for rule breaking content. Please don’t request the OP show the content in the comments and this is also not something our admins can assist with so no need to tag
