A change to the reports system

Hi all,

As you know, we rely on MNers to use the 'report' link if they spot anything untoward on the boards - and we very much appreciate it when you do. We want to be able to be more responsive to these reports generally, so we're going to stop sending individual acknowledgment mails for now; we think this will free up a fair bit of time which could be better spent elsewhere.

When you report a post, you'll now see this message:

Thanks very much for reporting this - we rely on your reports to make sure Mumsnet is a brilliant place to come for support and advice.

In order to best focus our efforts, we tend not to respond to reports individually - but be assured that we read every single one, and that we'll look into the problem as soon as possible.

And we'll be highlighting a few links to places you might want to go next.

We'll continue to mail folks directly as and when the need arises - and as mentioned, we'll be reading each and every report, come what may. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do ask!

Oh I will miss my email exchanges with MNHQ!

I will also miss the link to the thread in question which we get in response to reports - helps to keep up with what happens to a thread without posting on it.

Can we please have deletion messages showing up in Watched Threads, not just Threads I'm On?

@StealthPolarBear

Good idea, I've thought this for a while, I appreciate getting a reply but it's really not necessary (assuming you do post on the thread)

That's the idea Stealth. Not on every single one reported, but certainly on more than we do atm.
