Report Abuse and Community Moderation

ASOTN provides free and instantaneous self-publishing ads for worldwide users, subject only to our Terms of Use and other posted guidelines.

Our Report Abuse system allows ASOTN users to flag inappropriate postings for speedy removal, while preserving everyone's ability to express themselves freely and in a timely fashion.

By using the Report Abuse feature located on each post, you can take action if you feel a posting is inappropriate for the following reasons:

• miscategorized - wrong category/site, discusses another ad, otherwise misplaced
• prohibited - violates ASOTN Terms of Use or other posted guidelines
• spam/overpost - posted too frequently, in multiple cities/categories

If a post receives enough negative Report Abuse it will automatically be removed (only one Report Abuse per person per post is counted).

Posters whose postings are repeatedly flagged are subject to staff review and additional remedial measures.

No moderation system is perfect, and 1-2% of ads that will be removed through flagging will be correct within our terms of use - but without the Report Abuse system, ASOTN would quickly become unusable.

Flagged postings that meet our guidelines and Terms of Use may be reposted, reworded as necessary.
