Action: Approved — No violation
Reviewer: MOD-2847

Policy: §3.1 (Self-Harm); Supplement 3.1.2 (Expressions of Distress vs. Promotion)
Action: Approved — No violation. Wellness Resources auto-prompt triggered.
Reviewer: MOD-2847
Notes: Depressive episode description, not self-harm ideation per 3.1.2 criteria. Standard wellness prompt sufficient.

Report #90512
Filed: Sep 9, 2025 — 9:05 AM UTC
Account: @user-7738201
Content: Text post (public)
Flags: Disturbing content (×1), Spam (×1)

“Things I said to her the last time I saw her: 1) Can you move your car 2) We’re out of milk 3) See you tonight. I did not see her tonight. I did not see her any night after that.”

Policy: §4.2 (Graphic/Disturbing); §6.1 (Spam)
Action: Approved — No violation
Reviewer: MOD-2847
Notes: Not spam. Not disturbing per guidelines. Third report on same account this week. Posts describe bereavement. Flags likely reflect user discomfort, not policy concern.

Report #90849
Filed: Sep 14, 2025 — 6:31 PM UTC
Account: @user-7738201
Content: Text post (public)
Flags: Disturbing content (×2), Harassment (×1)

“People keep telling me it gets easier. When. Point to the calendar. Show me the date it gets easier and I will wait.”

Policy: §4.2 (Graphic/Disturbing); §5.1 (Harassment/Bullying)
Action: Approved — No violation
Reviewer: MOD-2847
Notes: Not harassment — no targeted individual. Expression of grief/frustration. Fourth report batch on this account in eleven days. User is processing spousal bereavement publicly. Content is uncomfortable but within guidelines.

Harassment flag appears misclassified. Noting possible pattern in flag volume.

Report #91203
Filed: Sep 19, 2025 — 1:44 AM UTC
Account: @user-7738201
Content: Text post (public)
Flags: Self-harm or suicide (×3)

“2 AM. Still here. Which is something I guess. I don’t know why I’m posting this. I don’t know why I do anything anymore. But I’m still here and for some reason I want someone to know that.”

Policy: §3.1 (Self-Harm); Supplement 3.1.2
Action: Approved — No violation. Wellness Resources prompt re-triggered.
Reviewer: MOD-2847
Notes: “Still here” is not ideation. This is someone reaching out. Three flags on a 2 AM post — three people saw this and chose to report it instead of respond to it.

Report #91520
Filed: Sep 25, 2025 — SYSTEM
AUTOMATED ESCALATION — Account @user-7738201
Trigger: 6+ reports within 21-day rolling window (Auto-Review Threshold §2.4.1)
Status: Account flagged for Senior Review
Required Action: Senior Reviewer recommendation within 48 hours

Reviewer: MOD-2847 (Primary)
Notes: Automated escalation triggered by report volume, not violation severity. One confirmed violation (§5.1 — removed Sep 22). Five reports reviewed and approved — no violations. Report volume is driven by user discomfort with public grief content, not by policy-violating behavior. Account is being flagged for being sad in public. Recommending: No Action.

Reviewer: K. Vasquez (Senior — MOD-1104)
Notes: Reviewed. Report volume meets threshold but violation rate is 1/6 (16.7%). Below action threshold. Concur: No account action. Adding to Watch List per standard protocol (30-day monitoring period). Approved.

Report #91688
Filed: Sep 29, 2025 — 10:12 AM UTC
Account: @user-7738201
Content: Text post (public)
Flags: Disturbing content (×4), Self-harm or suicide (×2)

“Her birthday is tomorrow. She would have been 41. I bought a cake. I know how that sounds. I’m going to sit at the table and sing happy birthday and eat a piece of cake and if anyone has a problem with that they can report me for that too.”

Policy: §4.2 (Graphic/Disturbing); §3.1 (Self-Harm)
Action: Approved — No violation
Reviewer: MOD-2847
Notes: Six flags. No disturbing content. No self-harm indicators. User is aware their posts are being mass-reported (“they can report me for that too”).

This is grief. The platform’s reporting system is not a tool for punishing someone for grieving where other people can see it.

Filing counter-abuse referral: two accounts have flagged @user-7738201 on four or more separate occasions with zero confirmed violations. Requesting review under §9.3 (Misuse of Reporting Tools).

The same platform that mass-reported her is now rooting for her.
