+## Reports
+Pasty aims at being lightweight by default. This is why no fully-featured admin interface with an overview over all pastes and reports is included.
+However, pasty does include a way of abstract reports to allow frontends work with this information.
+If enabled, pasty makes a standardized request to the configured webhook URL if a paste is reported.

 ## Storage types
 Pasty supports multiple storage types, defined using the `PASTY_STORAGE_TYPE` environment variable (use the value behind the corresponding title in this README).
 Every single one of them has its own configuration variables:
