Report Content & Send Feedback
Two ways to report issues, suggest improvements, or get in touch with the Movorastar team.
On the Watch Page
While watching any movie or show, click the "Report it" link in the yellow banner or tap the floating report button. A modal appears pre-filled with the current title — select a reason (broken player, wrong content, copyright concern, inappropriate material, poor quality, or other), add a description and optional timestamp, then submit without leaving the page. Choosing "Other" reveals a free-text field for custom details.
On the Report Page
Alternatively, navigate to Report via the navbar or footer for a full-page form with three tabs. Report a Problem covers broken players, DMCA concerns, and slow performance. Suggest an Improvement lets you propose new features. General Inquiry handles questions, partnerships, and press. Each tab has its own form and a success screen with a "Submit Another" option.
After Submission
Every report is reviewed by the Movorastar team. If the content violates our policies, it is blocked within 48 hours. The success screen confirms receipt and links to the Terms of Service, Content Policy, and DMCA Policy. You can close the modal and continue watching immediately.
Content Guidelines
The Content Policy defines what is prohibited: adult content, explicit/mature material, blocklisted titles, hate speech, and illegal content. A three-layer blocking system (TMDB adult flag, client-side filter, and manual blocklist) enforces these rules.
False Positive Claims
If you believe content was blocked in error, submit a false positive claim via support@movorastar.live. Include the title, TMDB ID, and reason it should be allowed. Claims are reviewed within 5 business days.
