3. Report content in violation of these guidelines by “flagging” it. This website is policed by all members via the “flag” links found next to content. By clicking on “flag” you are indicating to us (the administrators) that you think content doesn’t meet our guidelines. The process is private and anonymous; the ‘flagged’ member is not told automatically. Once something is flagged we will decide what action to take (sometimes none)
