Report Abuse

🌶️1. What to Report

We want to know about anything in the categories below. When in doubt, send it — we'd rather get a report on a borderline case than miss the actual one.

• Listings depicting anyone under 18. Highest priority — see the urgent section at the bottom of this page.
• Fake or impersonation listings. Someone using your photos without permission, or pretending to be someone they aren't.
• Scams. Deposit demands, verification-site scams, money-up-front asks, gift-card requests.
• Threats, harassment, or stalking. Communications that have crossed from awkward into actually scary.
• Trafficking, coercion, or non-consensual situations. Anything suggesting the person posting isn't there voluntarily.
• Stolen photos or other content. If your work is being used without permission, formal copyright takedowns go to dmca@aypapi.vercel.app.
• Spam. Identical listings posted across many cities, bot-style content, blatantly automated ads.

2. Where to Send Reports

Reports are routed by topic, so picking the right address means a faster reply. No special form, no ticket system — plain email works:

• General abuse: abuse@aypapi.vercel.app
• Suspected minors / age concerns: abuse@aypapi.vercel.app with URGENT MINOR in the subject line — these jump the queue and are reviewed immediately.
• Copyright / DMCA: dmca@aypapi.vercel.app — separate process with required statutory elements.
• Legal subpoenas / law enforcement requests: legal@aypapi.vercel.app

3. What To Include

To act fast, we need to find the listing. Please include:

• The full URL of the listing (or several, if you're reporting multiple).
• The @ handle of the poster.
• A few sentences describing what's wrong.
• Screenshots if you have them — especially of any messages, off-site interactions, or other evidence that triggered the report.

Don't worry about formatting. Don't worry about including "enough." We'd rather get a quick imperfect report than a polished one that takes you 30 minutes to write.

4. What Happens After You Report

All reports are read by a human within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays — faster for the urgent categories. If your report is actionable, the listing comes down and the poster is contacted, suspended, or banned depending on severity. We may follow up with you for clarification, but often we don't — silence on our end doesn't mean nothing happened. We don't always confirm in the moment.

5. Response Times

• Suspected-minor reports: handled the same day, every day, including weekends and holidays.
• Active threats or imminent harm: handled within hours — but please call local authorities first if anyone is in immediate danger.
• General abuse reports: 24 to 48 business hours.
• DMCA notices: 48 hours from receipt of a complete notice.

We're a small team. Weekends and US holidays add a day for non-urgent categories. The urgent ones don't slip.

6. Reporter Anonymity & Privacy

You don't need to identify yourself to file a report. We never share the identity of a reporter with the user being reported, and we never share it with anyone else outside of compelled legal process. If you give us a contact email so we can follow up, that email is used only for that purpose. There is no mailing list. We don't add you to anything.

7. Bad-Faith Reports

We act on reports in good faith. If we determine a report was filed maliciously — to harass another user, suppress a competitor, or settle a personal beef — the report is dismissed and we may take action against the reporter, up to and including banning them from the site. Knowingly false DMCA notices may also incur § 512(f) liability, which is a separate matter from our internal policy.

8. Emergency Situations

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call local emergency services (911 in the US) before contacting us. We are not staffed to respond to emergencies in real time. If you're a victim of sexual assault, RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline is 1-800-656-HOPE, and rainn.org has resources for reporting and recovery. If you're being stalked or threatened, local law enforcement is the appropriate first step.

We can pull a listing and ban a user. We cannot intervene in person, and we cannot move faster than law enforcement when someone's safety is on the line. Please don't email us in lieu of calling 911.
