Reporting incorrect submissions

To report an incorrect SponsorBlock segment, you can send a message in the #incorrect-submissions channel on Discord or Matrix.

You can copy the template text below and add the appropriate information. Once you send the report, a VIP will check it and take action as necessary.

Segment type and timestamp:

Brief description of the issue (1-2 sentences):

Actioning reported submissions

A VIP may decide to remove the reported segments, and submitters who repeatedly ignore the guidelines may receive a warning or a ban.

The YouTube URL in your report message will generate an embedded thumbnail in the channel. Don't remove the embed! The embed will be removed automatically once a VIP has actioned the report, so embeds are used as a glanceable way to see which reports have already been handled.

Use of emoji reactions

Once the VIP has actioned the report, they will react to your message with either the ✅ or ❌ emoji to signify whether the report was correct. These reactions will remove the embedded thumbnail in your original message.

Other emoji may be used as follows:

Emoji	Meaning
⏲️	The report is currently being investigated
✅	Report handled and was correct (hides the embed)
❌	Report handled and was incorrect (hides the embed)
🔒	Video/segment locked
⚠️	A warning was issued
🔨	User was banned
🗑️	Video purged (all segments hidden)
