'''Reporting''' is a tool used to flag inappropriate behavior and content to the VRChat Trust & Safety team. Conduct is based off of VRChat's [[Special:MyLanguage/Community Guidelines|Community Guidelines]], and [[Special:MyLanguage/Terms of Service|Terms of Service]]. In addition, you can also {{VRC link|https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports|report bugs}} and {{VRC link|https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new |security exploits}} to VRChat. | |||
== Overview == <!--T:3--> | |||
==Reporting a user== | <!--T:4--> | ||
Reporting is a very important process to ensure the safety and experience of all users, while blocking only locally curates the experience for yourself. The report process is anonymous, and users will be unable to tell whether or not something has been reported by you. Likewise, to protect user privacy, [[Special:MyLanguage/Bans|results of moderation action]] will not be disclosed to the reporter. | |||
<!--T:5--> | |||
You can learn more about the various methods and alternatives for reporting in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Trust and Safety]] article, such as hiding avatars, muting a user, Safe Mode, and the Go Home button. | |||
== Effective reporting == <!--T:6--> | |||
<!--T:7--> | |||
Reporting in-app is the most streamlined method to flag content and behavior. If necessary, to offer more conclusive data in a moderation report, VRChat's development team may recommend [https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new submitting a moderation report] on the [[Special:MyLanguage/Resources|Help website]] at ''help.vrchat.com.'' See more about [[Special:MyLanguage/Reporting#Reporting on the VRChat website|reporting on the VRChat website]]. | |||
<!--T:8--> | |||
In an effective report, users are able to: | |||
<!--T:9--> | |||
* Browse additional helpful resources, via the Help website | |||
* Describe the situation more effectively | |||
** Including or specifying offending users or content | |||
* Attach media, such as: | |||
** Photographic evidence | |||
** Recorded video evidence | |||
** Log files | |||

" at the top-right of the Quick Menu is used for reporting.Reporting is a tool used to flag inappropriate behavior and content to the VRChat Trust & Safety team. Conduct is based off of VRChat's Community Guidelines, and Terms of Service. In addition, you can also report bugs and security exploits to VRChat.
Overview
Reporting is a very important process to ensure the safety and experience of all users, while blocking only locally curates the experience for yourself. The report process is anonymous, and users will be unable to tell whether or not something has been reported by you. Likewise, to protect user privacy, results of moderation action will not be disclosed to the reporter.
You can learn more about the various methods and alternatives for reporting in the Trust and Safety article, such as hiding avatars, muting a user, Safe Mode, and the Go Home button.
Effective reporting
Reporting in-app is the most streamlined method to flag content and behavior. If necessary, to offer more conclusive data in a moderation report, VRChat's development team may recommend submitting a moderation report on the Help website at help.vrchat.com. See more about reporting on the VRChat website.
In an effective report, users are able to:
- Browse additional helpful resources, via the Help website
- Describe the situation more effectively
- Including or specifying offending users or content
- Attach media, such as:
- Photographic evidence
- Recorded video evidence
- Log files

Successful Reports
Upon successful action, on a report you had submitted previously, a notification in the "Other" tab will appear informing you.
Reports text visually changes depending on the Type of successful report, A User reports will display User, Group reports will mention "Groups". However responses received by email are omissive not informing users if it was group/user or world that was sucessful, just that it was successful.
-
The in-app notification displaying sucessful moderation case close.
-
The website notification of a moderation report being complete.
-
The email report may show which guidelines were broken inside of your moderation ticket response. (Wording will vary based on violation type.)
Reporting on the VRChat website
In addition to being able to report within the VRChat client, you can optionally report any content on the VRChat website. From there, you may also attach your relevant user logs, screenshots, and any short video footage within the ticket. An e-mail acknowledging your report, will be sent to the same e-mail address you submitted within the ticket. However, results of moderation action will not be disclosed to the reporter.
Reporting a security exploit
The VRChat website should be used to report security exploits for VRChat or its services. It is requested that the inclusion of "proof-of-concept, documentation, background, attack scenarios, potential mitigations, etc." are ideal, and that "video, screenshots, chat logs, hearsay, etc alone are not useful and do not constitute an exploit disclosure".
Reporting a bug
For additional information, see also Guides:How to write efficient bug reports
You cannot report bugs directly within the game, but you can submit bug reports pseudonymously on feedback.vrchat.com if you have a VRChat account. The platform uses a ticketing system powered by Canny.io, while VRChat employs a separate internal system to manage and track tickets.
