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

It's quite startling to read today that @thefirstmrsdv and @maryz have both given up reporting or lost faith in the report system.

I believe ALL reports used to receive a response of some sort? I know there was a bit of uproar when that changed.

I'm thinking that maybe going back to the old way might result in more dialogue and more people willing to report generally ( ?)

Why not have a button that says

"I'd like a response" on the report? That way if it's something that warrants a response, MNHQ are alerted and can then chose whether or not to engage.

Can't say it really bothers me. If I report a post then I've flagged it to MNHQ and what they do is up to them. I don't think getting a reply is necessary. I Can't imagine it stops many people hitting the report button.

I'm not sure. A year or two?

But under the old system if there were lots of reports you still got a reply it was just more generic but still an acknowledgment if you know what I mean

YY there needs to be some sort of a response, even if it is a blanket response to all reports

Puzzledandpissedoff · 06/08/2017 16:48

Can I ask when it changed, Serf? It's a while since I reported anything, but last time there was a generic message along the lines of "thanks for reporting; we all want MN to be a safe place and we'll look into it"

Unless you mean there used to be a personal response ...?

Agree the spam.

Maybe just responding to MORE?

The thing is, if each report was responded to individually would that lead to it taking longer for reports to be acted on? Perhaps posters could request a response. Really obvious spam doesn't really warrant a response, you'll soon see it deleted.
