We rely on the ProgressiveU community to help us identify and remove posts that do not belong on ProgressiveU. If you come across a posting in the forums, in a blog or even in a comment that you feel violates the Terms of Service of ProgressiveU, we ask that you flag it for review by a member of the A-Team.
To flag a blog post, forum topic, or comment:
1) Look at the bottom of the blog or forum topic that you find objectionable for the "Flag This" link.
2) Click on the link.
3.) You will be brought to a confirmation page. If you clicked the link on accident, you may cancel the flag; if you truly want to flag the post, click on the confirm button.
4.) All information, including your username and the URL of the post you are flagging, will be sent directly to the administrators of the site. They will then review the post and decide what actions, if any, should be taken.
5.) If you return to the blog or content after you have flagged it, you will see an option to "unflag" the content. Should new information come to light (i.e., a joke you didn't catch until after you've already flagged it, or you find that the author has re-written the post), please use the "unflag" link to let the administrators know that you no longer find the content objectionable.
A few notes about flagging a post:
1) You have to be signed in to flag a post. Likewise, you have to have an account on ProgressiveU to flag a page. This is so we can contact you if we have questions about our flag.
2) Hate speech, name calling, plagiarism, copyright infringement, spam, libel and otherwise illegal content are all violations that should be flagged for review and removal.
3) Posts should not be flagged merely because you disagree with what is being said.
4.) You may also flag images and users, should you suddenly receive an offensive Private Message or should someone post an image that is truly offensive. However, please remember when you're trying to decide whether or not to flag a user or an image that a user has posted that this site is not meant to censor people. We will not delete images simply off of one flag
While we firmly believe in freedom of speech, we want everyone to feel comfortable at ProgressiveU. Please help us achieve that goal!
