Zot it is a student-run community board for UC Irvine. It is not affiliated with UC Irvine. Last updated October 2026.

Who can use Zot it

How the rules are enforced

• Anyone signed in can report a post, reply or conversation. Posts reported by several students are hidden until reviewed.
• Moderators remove content that breaks these rules. Repeated or serious problems lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

Buying, selling and meeting up

• Trades are between students. Zot it is not part of any sale and can't guarantee items or payments.
