Report abuse

You can report abuse from other GitLab users to GitLab administrators.

A GitLab administrator can then choose to:

• Remove the user, which deletes them from the instance.
• Block the user, which denies them access to the instance.
• Or remove the report, which retains the user’s access to the instance.

You can report a user through their:

• Profile
