Classifieds moderation (admins)
Classifieds are user-generated, so platform admins keep an eye on what gets posted. Admin → Classifieds is the moderation queue.
Reviewing reports
Listings that customers have reported land in the Reported tab. Each entry shows the listing, the reporting user(s), and the reason given.
Decide: dismiss, hide (soft delete — visible only to admins for evidence), or remove + warn (hides + emails the poster).
Removing prohibited content
Admins can remove any listing without a customer report. Common reasons:
- Prohibited goods (weapons, alcohol over distance-selling laws, livestock, anything age-restricted without a verified merchant flag).
- Suspected scams (price too good, payment-by-voucher requests, off-platform redirects).
- Hate, harassment or doxxing.
Repeated removals trigger a 7-day posting suspension; three suspensions in a year is a permanent ban.
Audit trail
Every removal is recorded in Admin → Audit with the actor (admin user), the target (listing ID + snapshot), the reason and the date. Reversible for 30 days.
