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

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?
