Following on from Custy and Twiglett being reported....what does Mumsnet do when a post is reported?

[collision]

I just wondered.

do you deal with each one or do you get a warning or booted out?

noooo, come back collision, it's your thread!

Apols for calling you all wankers got carried away being filthy on another thread...

Message withdrawn

Filthy - which thread ????

Wasn't 'cowmad' banned?

No, I don't think you should post about other threads

It's "my dad is bigger than your dad"

I don't think Custy gives 2 hoots about being reported, she probably hasn't even noticed! But if they were banned their posts would have been deleted, the fact that the posts are still there point to the fact that the OP is indeed, daft!

And all newbies are very welcome btw.

Esp if you have strong views!

well of course YOU support custard, rhubard!

I'm going off you now!

rabbid!

LOL, I knew you'd bite at that

Bloody rabbits!

back to the OP - I have reported a post (someone telling a depressed sounding poster that she didn't deserve to be pregnant in quite a nasty way), so what happens if you do misbehave? Do they e-mail you and tell you that it has been reported even if they decide not to delete it?

LOL Lapin.. i am rent- a - gob!!

now tall unles you are very very norty

( voice of expoirence smoticon>

Oh yeah - and Lulu is daft too!

No, they just delete it I believe.

MNHQ have stopped talking to me.

I've had posts deleted and not known until I saw the ominous "post deleted" or summat.

Custy got an email asking her to pack it in once, I won't tell you what for!

we could try it out...

RHUBARB SMELLS OF CHEESE

OK, now report me and I'll tell you what happens .

I got a mail once after I reported a post, but not when I got deleted myself.

I would report you but like I said, I think MNHQ are ignoring me!

Insult someone else and get them to report you instead! Tell WelshBoris she's not really Welsh, that'll wind her up!

no, I'm scared of her AND her dragon...

Oh but you'll call ME will you? Oh very nice that is! Now I know where I stand at least! Huh!

Well, seeing as I'm on duty today, I might as well sort this out...

First off, we look at the post in question and decide whether or not it needs deleting at all. Some obviously do, some don't, some are hard to call. We tend to mail the OP and the person who reported the post - unless, like today, 64 of you report the same post. Then it would just get tiresome. The system is not automated - life would be a lot easier if it was - if you get an e-mail from us saying we are looking into the situation we really are. We tend to deal with each post on an individual basis.

Does that help?
