Auto-flagged by multiple reports

Once three different people report the same live listing, Jinu moves it to Under review automatically and it drops out of the public feeds until a moderator looks at it. Nobody decided that individually; it is a threshold.

How the count works

• It counts three distinct human reporters, not three reports. One person reporting a listing repeatedly counts once.
• Reporters are counted by email address, case-insensitively, so different capitalizations of the same address cannot be split into separate people.
• Jinu's own automated safety flag does not count toward the three. A machine flag cannot manufacture a community consensus.
• A listing already under review is not flagged again.
• The reason recorded against the listing is Auto-flagged followed by the number of distinct reporters.

Why it works this way

The alternative is that a listing several people believe is a scam stays in the feeds until a human gets to the queue. Taking it down at three and reviewing it afterwards is the safer direction, and it is reversible: a moderator can put it straight back.

The reporting tool is hard to turn into a weapon, too. Reports are rate limited by network address, anonymous reporters have to pass a bot check, and one person cannot reach the threshold alone.

If this happened to your listing

1. Read it as a stranger would. Three unconnected people thought something was wrong. The usual causes are a price far below market that reads as a scam, a photograph obviously taken from a manufacturer or another listing, a title that does not match the item, or a description asking buyers to move to text or to pay by wire or gift card.
2. Check the category. Wrong category is one of the report reasons and it is used often.
3. Check whether it already sold. Already sold is another, and leaving a sold item live earns reports. Mark it sold instead.
4. Fix and wait. You can edit it from My listings while it is held. A moderator decides either way.

What you will be told

If it is approved it becomes live again and you get a push notification. If it is removed you get a push notification and an email with the reason and how to appeal. You are never told who reported you. That is deliberate and it is not negotiable: see Reports are anonymous.

If you think it was coordinated

Reporting to get a competitor taken down is itself a violation, and so is using extra accounts to do it. Email safety@jinu.app with the listing URL and what you know. Do not retaliate by reporting them: it makes the picture harder to read, and it puts you on the wrong side of the same rule.
