Reporting an event
If an event looks like spam, has wrong information, or shouldn’t be on the platform at all, you can report it directly from the event page.
How to report
- Open the event detail page on swirl.events.
- Tap the ⋯ (kebab) menu next to the title.
- Pick Report this event.
- Tell us what’s wrong in your own words. Examples: spam, wrong info, abusive content, fake event — but anything specific helps.
- If you’re not signed in, add your email so we can follow up if needed.
- Submit. You’ll see a “Thanks — we’ll review and follow up if needed” confirmation.
That’s the whole form. No fixed categories, no required severity dropdown — just a free-text description.
What happens after
Reports land in our admin queue. We triage and decide what to do:
- Take it down (rare, but it happens for things that clearly shouldn’t be on the platform).
- Reach out to the host if the report points at something the host can fix — wrong time, wrong venue, missing details.
- Reach out to you if we need more context.
- Dismiss if the report doesn’t hold up on review.
You don’t get a status page or notification system for what happened to your report; if we need you, we’ll email the address you provided.
What not to use this for
- You want to RSVP “Not going” — that’s a different action, on the RSVP form itself.
- You don’t like the event — taste isn’t a reason to report. Use the Interested toggle to keep things off your radar.
- It’s your own event and you want to delete it — you can do that from your dashboard directly.
