Currently, AO3 does not have a dedicated “report” button for most content. To report a violation of the Terms of Service (TOS), a user must scroll to the bottom of the page, find the “Policy Questions & Abuse Reports” link, fill out a detailed form, and wait. Wait times for non-urgent reports (e.g., untagged rape content) can stretch from six months to over a year.
If you want, I can produce: (a) the exact database schema, (b) example UI mockups/wireframes, or (c) copy text for help pages and tooltips. Which would you like? reforming system ao3
