seriously, why do people report stuff? Obviously if it's defamatory or
offensive or a personal attack that upsets you then hit that button. But surely it's usually better to ignore and move on?

If the "slightly tasteless" thread is the one I think it is, it was utterly disgusting.

I don't know. A thread I started has been deleted, apparently due to a large volume of complaints, the nature of which I am not aware of so I think possibly mentioning that you have reported is not a bad thing if you think that's the appropriate course of action.

I can only imagine I caused massive offence for reasons I can only attempt to guess at.

Yep. Me too. But a slightly tasteless thread title abut a real issue in the news? Why on earth report that?

I don't which thread you are talking about but one person's "slightly tasteless" is another person's horrifically offensive.

Are you complaining because the thread in question was deleted or the thread title was edited? Is still can't answer your OP properly because I don't know why you are asking Grin

I report if I feel it needs to be deleted for whatever reason

What I don't do, is announced that I've reported

that I don't get

Because if stuff isn't reported it won't be deleted Confused

If something is reported that isn't delete worthy then MNHQ won't delete. I don't quite understand what your issue is?
