# How to moderate posts?

Not all posts and comments contain correct content or correspond to the guidelines and values of your congregation. Both can therefore be [reported by users](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/churchtools-modules/use-posts/24-how-to-report-a-post/) of your ChurchTool so that they can be checked by an admin and either authorised or blocked.

To be able to moderate reported posts, you need the [authorisation](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/permissions-management/authorise-posts/24-permissions-for-posts/) Moderate posts.

Reported posts are displayed in the ***Posts module*** (1) in the ***Reports*** (2) register.
There you have the option to view the exact ***reason*** (6) of the message and decide whether you want the post to ***allow*** (7) to continue or ***block it*** (8).

[![Screenshot Posts Reports](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Posts-Reports-CleanShot-2025-06-17-at-08.45.44@2x-1024x522.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Posts-Reports-CleanShot-2025-06-17-at-08.45.44@2x.png)

In the menu on the left, you can also filter whether you only want to see ***reported posts*** (4) or ***reported comments*** (5) you want to view. In the ***overview*** (3) all messages are displayed.

**Tip**

If you filter by reported posts or comments, you will also be shown statistics that tell you how many posts or comments you have **to check** (1), how many of them have been **reported again** (2) and how many you have either **allowed** (3) or **blocked** (4).
