This thread was posted in feminism and was obviously reported very quickly but has been allowed to stand. Why? It just makes a mockery of We Believe You and is quite offensive.

There are loads of posters calling OP a troll and that would normally be enough to shut down a thread, even if the content wasn't so awful.

Where were Night Watch last night then, was there something else going on that took precedence?

The whole subject of reporting and a lack of response has been raised fairly recently

(Another posters comment is quoted: MNHQ simply don't appear to have the number of bodies to cope with the number of reports or the right HQers in at peak times for useage )
The response: That's not how we see it tbh (though we wouldn't would we grin). Although we're busy, we very rarely overwhelmed - usually only when something ridiculous (like Heartbleed) happens. Most days/evenings we clear almost everything that's been reported to us, and the Night Watch deal with egregious trolling and spamming overnight.

I reported it 3 times as well, but haven't got an email response about it. I'm amazed it is still up.

I have reported it. I'm generally a fan of MNHQ and think they do a great job but it sticks in my throat when they say report report report and then ignore threads like that one.

I reported it three times

I got an "apologies for the mass mail" response last night - so I assume loads of people had reported it?

HQ said they would be keeping a close eye on it and would ban if needed.

I was wondering the same thing

I wonder how many people have reported it now? I didn't because it was obvious that others had.

I know! And now it's 12 pages of rancid drivel.

FrontForward · 16/11/2014 09:26

It's horrendous on so many levels

HQ posted on page 1 so they obviously knew about it right from the off.

Yes I was wondering the exact same thing!

FrauHelgaMissMarpleandaChuckle · 16/11/2014 09:17

Fairenuff - I agree. I've reported it twice (or maybe three times!) once before the message was put up last night and again this morning.
