## Make a report

To create a report, you just need to run the command `/report` and indicating, as in the example below, the user, the reason and a valid proof.

**Warning** ! ProtectList does not take into account reports for **games** or other, we only take reports **related** to the **Discord platform**.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Congratulations**, you have just sent a report to **ProtectList reviewers**, we can't wait for your report to be **answered** !
{% endhint %}

## The response of the report

Generally, you will have the response to your report within 24 hours and it will be sent to you in private messages.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Be **careful** to check that your **private messages** are **open** to **everyone** so that ProtectList can **inform** you of our response !
{% endhint %}

### Your report is approved

Congratulations, your report has been approved by our examiners ! Often, we add details about your report :

1. **Tags** : we add tags so that your report is classified in certain categories (like `Token grabber`, `Scamming` etc...)
2. **Translation** : we translate your report into all ProtectList languages.
3. **Author** : we add your information, as the author of the report, namely, your nickname.

{% hint style="info" %}
We keep the **evidence** you provide to us in **our servers** so as not to cause further **harm** to the reported user and also to **keep** our evidence **unique** so that it is not **replicated** and used by **third parties**.
{% endhint %}

### Your report is refused

Ouch, your postponement is refused! There may be several reasons for your postponement to be refused, here are the main ones :

1. **Proof** : your proof does not correlate with the reason you provided to us or it is not explicit enough or it is distorted.
2. **Reason** : the reason you specified to us is not clear enough or does not correlate with your evidence or is not sufficient for a blacklist or finally, we do not take this kind of reason for a blacklist.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please do not return the **same report** immediately after its **refusal**. Instead, be sure to **redo** your report so that it is accepted as **quickly and efficiently** as possible by the examiners.
