== Effective reporting ==
==Reporting a user==
While reporting in-game is a simple way to flag content, VRChat's development team always recommends [https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new submitting a moderation report] on the [[Special:MyLanguage/Resources|Help website]] at ''help.vrchat.com'', as reports are expedited, and users are able to offer more conclusive data in a moderation report. See more about [[Special:MyLanguage/Reporting#Reporting on the VRChat website|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
 
==Reporting content==
 
=== Reporting a user ===
This should be selected to report objectionable language or actions of a user. A user can also be clicked on to report, mute, or block them. Any violation in regards to an avatar should be reported with the 'Reporting an Avatar' button.

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 player 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".

Short about Feedback Board.[1]

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.
