Can we have an Urgent flag when reporting?

The horrible posts on the miscarriage thread today were beyond the pale. They were on an active thread for 40 minutes despite prompt reporting.

Fair enough that MNHQ may not have realised the urgency until the flood of reports started. But there are occasionally these situations where an obvious and offensive troll needs dealing with immediately. And unless a slew of reports alert you, there's no way to jump the queue.

Could we revisit the idea of a flag to check for urgent reporting? Not for probable troll or a regular poster forgetting the guidelines, but for things like this.

I absolutely agree this is needed,

I suggested it to MNHQ a few months ago when there was the horrible thread that took some hours to remove.

MNHQ responded by saying that they don't in fact just view reports in the order they come in, but do have a kind of triage system, and they would keep in mind the idea of an urgent flag.

I took this as fair enough...However, I think the posts this morning support the idea that the current system is NOT good enough on occasions like and more needs to be done to get vile stuff taken down more quickly.
