Delete or Report a Live Message

QCLF separates reporting a live Message from removing it. Signed-in users can report eligible live content when Category reporting permission allows it; Hosts/moderators can remove a live Message when their live-moderation authority allows the action.

Both paths preserve moderation context instead of silently erasing the event.

Report a Live Message

  1. Choose Report on the live Message.
  2. Select a valid report reason and add an optional note.
  3. Submit the report. QCLF prevents reporting your own content, removed content, or creating a second open report for the same content by the same reporter.
  4. A moderator can review the open report in the frontend Moderation workspace.

Delete During an Active Session

The direct live-delete path requires the session still to be live and rechecks Host/moderator authority. QCLF marks the live Message deleted with the actor and timestamp, records moderation/audit events, and can notify the Message author when a moderator removed it.

Latest-from-Host Recovery

If the deleted Message was the current Latest from Host Message, QCLF automatically searches backward for the newest earlier non-deleted Host Message. If none remains, the Host pin is cleared.

Reports Survive Archive Conversion

When an undeleted live Message is later converted into a permanent reply, QCLF remaps any report from live_message to that new reply ID. A live Message already marked deleted is skipped by archive conversion, so it does not reappear as a permanent Message.

Report-Action Boundary for Media Live Types

The report moderation workflow intentionally blocks direct report-driven live-message deletion for Watch Party and Broadcast and directs moderators toward report resolution, participant restriction, or Topic management. The ordinary active-session live-delete control remains separately authority-checked.
