# Reporting Collections

### When is a collection paused for trading?

ARKY is a decentralised NFT marketplace that allows users to make reports on collections that they deem suspicious.

There are 4 categories that we support to ensure the safety of our community:

1. **Fake, scam or copied collection**

   Collections that are fake, scam or copied from other chains and/or projects without authorisation.
2. **Copyright Infringement**

   Illegally obtained artwork posing as an NFT collection without authorisation or agreement from the original artist.
3. **Violence, hate-speech or illegal content**

   Collections that contain violent, hateful or illegal content.
4. **Other reasons**

   Reported collections with reasons that do not not fall within the categories above.

### What happens next?

When we receive sufficient reports from the community, a reported collection may no longer be bought, sold, or transferred using ARKY.

You will see either a yellow or red warning banner on the item and collection page:

1. **Yellow Warning**

   The collection has been reported and is still tradable on ARKY.
2. **Red Warning**

   The collection has been reported and cannot be traded on ARKY.

   (If a collection is not tradable on ARKY, users may still trade these collections on other NFT platforms.)
