How to report ads on the Free Market of replicas and pirates

Mercado Livre allows any individual to advertise and sell products on the e-commerce platform. However, regardless of the denunciations, they are prohibited: piracy, falsification and replicas, as well as illegal objects. To bar these ads, Mercado Livre itself has a filter of words that prevents the publication of some things, but others end up passing. This is where the user filter comes in.
