Abandoning the policy of responding to all reports was a mistake I think.

A long running thread may have been a scammer trying to raise cash, and an emotional vampire.

People reported it from an early point but MN appeared to verify it and allow it to stand. It's now gone a bit wild.

Are all the mods paid by MN, or are they volunteers?

There's a huge difference in having to write 200 replies to reports if you're being paid for it, or just to record the reports and pass the concern higher up the chain if you're a volunteer.

This is a huge site, how many reports do MN receive in an average day I wonder?

Those of you who would like a response to a report - why? Surely it doesn't matter, further action if any is MN's responsibility, they don't need to let people know individually what they are doing all the time.

The forums are free to use and as such, the users abide by the owners' rules, this is often explained when joining. If you want individual responses I'd suggest the only way to fund that is to charge for the use of MN. Not a popular option I know.

Who is reporting what no for what purpose please?

Fail even.

I'm quite curious to why the Fail's have been so quiet over this.

Agree about the dialogue SerfTerf

I certainly don't report anywhere near as much as I used to. Feels like shouting into a void sometimes.

Although sometimes MNHQers do respond. Certainly DawnMN has over D&Cgate.

Bad publicity though - you're overestimating how much mumsnet is actually talked about away from here, excepting tabloids dredging for stories

Maybe the Fail will do one of their infamous campaigns "Save Mumsnet" because it's their primary source of news nowadays

Obviously Davidgate has created unprecedented amounts of traffic.

What was the outcome, his threads were available up to last night.

It's more about knowing someone at HQ have caught your drift. So that you can clarify if you clearly haven't explained properly or make follow up points. Dialogue.

Exactly, Serf

Bad publicity though - you're overestimating how much mumsnet is actually talked about away from here, excepting tabloids dredging for stories.

You've done your bit by reporting now forget about the thread, just hide it

^ yup. People over invest and keep going back for more, even when the thread is winding them.

" Hide this Thread " is the Healthy option - helps the blood pressure

The site isn't going to fold.

Why do you need a button to say you would like a response? Just ask nicely where you type in the reasons for the report.

I report a lot less since the change as it started to feel like you're being ignored or being awkward. It went from a bit of personal dialogue (And a laugh sometimes), to a generic message to nothing so you've no idea if anyone's even reading them.

And in fairness to mumsnet - I reported a thread that was a woman who thought her partner may be abusing children through an organisation - MNHQ did get in touch with me (but I'd already taken it further), so I do know they respond sometimes.

Turns out it was a troll but I am still happy I reported it to the relevant people

I agree constance, I think people are getting overly dramatic here.

It didn't fold over Jeffrey, olivers army, dizzy mare or any of the others.

Bad publicity.

Don't underestimate the damage it can do.

It has become unsustainable to handcraft a response to every Report.

They do look at them because from time to time I've had the auto message and then a day late someone from HQ has sent me a PM as a follow up.

Obviously Davidgate has created unprecedented amounts of traffic. They're probably going to have to work through the night trying to make sense of everything and put out a statement. Should we be bashing them at this time?

"How long to we leave it before contacting the police ourselves?"

Contact now. Either directly, or through crimestoppers.

Why on earth would the site fold over people disagreeing about the moderation policy??

Daisy MN isn't going to fold over this.

They're ginning up the finances for a new investor / IPO by running things on a shoestring. So of course their customer service will be as crap as they can get away with. Just remember when posting that you're the product, not the customer.
