Flagging a comment

Hi, I just saw a comment with offensive language (and not quite comprehensible mathematical content). How can I flag the comment?

It's a comment to Brian Moehring's solution to the problem "Tension for the crown"

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hello Antoine. The offending comment has been deleted, and we'll keep an eye on the offending user. Thank you for pointing this out. We currently don't have a way to flag inappropriate comments other than our "report" system. That is probably the best way to reach our staff -- It might seem a bit strange to report your own problem, but it does not affect your standing in any way.

Beyond that, we're in continuing discussions about how to best handle inappropriate content on the site.

ok, thanks! I don't mind using the "report" system, I just did not know if that was the appropriate channel.

What did it say?

It included some rude language like "fucking idiot", made used a specialised formula without providing any reference and the said formula was so badly written so that it was really hard to make sense of it.
