Tech issue reporting process (flowchart)
Spam Control Team
The objective of the Spam Control team is keeping the members of the Freecycle Network free from being scammed for money and generally keeping the site safe for the members.
If a member or moderator spots a scam or spam type post they can email spamcontrol@freecycle.org and we will investigate the members' concerns, reporting back to them and taking any necessary actions.
Chris and Shaz head up the Spam Control Team and report to the Information Coordinator.

Member Support Team
The Support Team is a dedicated team of volunteers who respond to general inquiries and assist members with all aspects of their Freecycle.org accounts and using the Freecycle website, including:
- Signing up
- Logging in
- Joining or leaving a group
- Posting and responding
- Unsubscribing from emails or deleting their Freecycle account
Freecycle members and members of the general public initially contact help@freecycle.org, myfreecyclesupport@freecycle.org, or one of the other support email addresses. Messages go to the Help Scout system, which sends an autoresponse email letting them know we will respond shortly. We respond to each message individually, using basic templates, customized as needed to the specific question asked.
