Please can we have some advice?

Recently, there have been quite a fwe Beyond The Pale comments posted very late a night.

Could you advise us on how best to deal with them?

We obviously report en mass, but atm they seem to stand for several hours and obviously can cause serious offence to posters.

Is there a way of dealing with this more expeditiously so these posts are seen by fewer people?

Hello
Thanks for this - as Rebecca and Kat said we do have folk who are around overseas on different time zones and we do understand how hideous these posts are to see.
We will see what else we can do though to ensure that these are nixed asap.
Thanks
M Towers

you do relise she's angling for a paid job don't you? and she only want's to be in charge of the big red button at silly-o-clock.

want's? want's???? where did that ' come from?

Could there be some sort of reports per minute counter which then activiates stronger klaxon to MNHQ to jump the the BatCar and whup asses all across the boards?

Do you still want us to report at 2.39am?

I'm glad this has been raised. And thanks, Olivia.

This was one of the reasons I posted silly replies to a troll the other night as I was trying to draw their fire so to speak. There were some horrific things being said to people who sounded very vunerable

Yes, was going to post similar.

What happens in the wee small hours? Is that when the real nutters emerge?

Perhaps if there were more than a certain a,ount of seperate reports on a post then it could be put into limbo until it is dealt with. Noone being able to read it while it is in limbo. That way no human is needed straight away

YES please

That's a great idea bronze - sort of a limbo state?

Ooh, that was skilled post splittage OliviaL.

[impuressed]

Virtual limbo with rum and reggae? Can I join in?

why can't you all sleep at night like normal people? helpfully ignores internationl time differences

and why has Olivia got an L?

I was channelling Samuel L Jackson

Hmm, I always assumed there was some kind of alarm which is raised if a large number of reports are made after hours - I remember one horrendous comment made once in the early hours of the morning and it was gone within half an hour. Perhaps lucky coincidence that someone from MNHQ happened to be online?

She's an L raiser DHE.

All the good stuff happems in the middle of the night medear - you should know that, non?

Oh very good Chaos

if i had a fancy iPhone i could while away the insomnia in a more interesting fasion. as it is it's just me and my jilly cooper collection and a fast-fading book light.

I think those are brilliant ideas. especially the rum

Also, while your here Olivia, who is this 'other' HelenMumsnet?

I think Tapir and Sparkling someone did a smashing job last m
