After you report a post or comment, Red Tent keeps a private history you can review anytime. This article shows how to open Report Submissions in Settings, read status updates, and withdraw an active report—not how to file a new report.
🔒Report Submissions is visible only to you, synced with your Apple ID through iCloud. Other members—including the person you reported—cannot see your history, optional note, or messages from the moderation team.
What Report Submissions is
- A personal list of every post or comment you reported, with the category you chose and the date you filed.
- Split into Active and Closed tabs—open reports still in review stay under Active; settled or withdrawn reports move to Closed.
- Not the same as blocking someone or using crisis resources—see related articles below for those tools.
- To file a new report, use the report sheet on someone else's content—see Reporting posts and comments.
Open Report Submissions
01
Home
Open the Home tab on the main tab bar.
02
Settings
Tap the gear icon in the date header. The navigation title reads Settings.
03
Community
Tap the Community row in Settings. The screen title reads Community.
04
Report Submissions
Under Rules & Safety, tap Report Submissions. The list title matches the row label.
Browse your list
- Active and Closed pills appear when you have at least one report—switch tabs to filter.
- Each row shows Post or Comment, a status line with the submission date, and a short excerpt of the reported text when one was saved.
- An Update badge means the moderation team changed the status or left a new message you have not opened yet.
- Finishing upload… means the report is still confirming with the server—pull down to refresh in a moment.
- If you have no reports yet, the empty state explains that filed reports will appear here.
✦Pull down on the list to check for team updates. A spinner in the toolbar also appears while sync runs.

Optional context you added on the report sheet appears here when you included one.
Status labels
- Finishing upload… — the report is still syncing; refresh shortly.
- Received — pending review — your report reached the queue and is waiting for a moderator.
- Under review — a moderator is actively reviewing your report.
- Reviewed — no policy violation found — review finished; no Community rules breach was found.
- Action taken on content — moderators took action on the reported content.
- Closed — the report was closed without the outcomes above (legacy dismissed state).
- Withdrawn by you — you withdrew the report before review finished.
- Status updated — the app received a status your device has not mapped yet; pull to refresh.
From the Already reported alert
If you try to report the same post or comment twice, an Already reported alert appears. The message points you to Settings → Community → My reports—that is the same Report Submissions row documented above.
01
Already reported
Tap OK on the alert, then open Settings → Community → Report Submissions to review the existing entry.
Withdraw an active report

Report details
Open an active report that is not still Finishing upload….
02
Withdraw report
Scroll to Withdraw report and tap it.
03
Withdraw this report?

✦Withdrawing removes your report from the moderation queue, shows the content in your feeds again, and lets you file a new report later if the situation changes. Closed reports cannot be withdrawn.
What happens next
- Reporting posts and comments — how to open the report sheet, pick a reason, and handle rate limits.
- Community rules — what moderation can do and how reports fit the safety toolkit.
- Blocking users — hide an author from your feeds with or without reporting first.
- Crisis hotline in Resources — if you need urgent support right now, not moderation history.
🔒Optional details you add when reporting are for reviewers only—they are not posted on the public feed. Reporting hides content from your view until moderation acts; other members may still see it until a team outcome applies.
