    The only way I know of is to go the culprit's profile. There's a flag symbol top right, and away you go. I've done it a few times.

    Question. How do you find the rubbish on Discover if it doesn't tumble into your feed? I would be happy to spend a little time clearing out the chaff, but, as Shauna pointed out, if you Google "Discover" you are sent to the niche home page.

      Rupert, when you Google HubPages and click on the link, it takes you to Discover.

    Nope, Now I'm getting all tangled up. When I Google https://hubpages.com/discover, I get 404 page does not exist.

      I'm talking about Googling HP itself. Type HubPages into the search bar. This is the first link in search results: https://discover.hubpages.com/

    I've ended up doing the same as Rupert in the past, just going to profile page and reporting the entire account. I've only done it a few times though, I don't generally worry too much about Discover.

      We've prioritized reintroducing a similar flagging feature (as we once had on Hubpages.com) for low-quality or problematic content. It's in the queue! Hopefully, we'll have an additional update for you all on that soon. For now, you can email our team if you come across anything particular and we will take a closer look!

      Best,

      Tessa

    That is great o hear, Tessa. I have been flagging a lot as soon as they come on my feed lately but it’s impossible to catch them all.
