How long does it take MNHQ to delete an offensive thread?

[flippyfloppyflower]

I reported a really offensive post last night (called women bitches etc) and it is still there this morning. I have reported it several times now and it has not deleted. This is a post that is truly offensive (not one of those slightly iffy ones) so I am wondering how long it takes such a post to be deleted.

Hi OP,
We do appreciate it can be frustrating when you have made a report and it appears nothing is happening.
We do get to each report as soon as we can, but sometimes it takes longer than we would like if we're busy or we have a lot of high priority cases.

I do appreciate that - I really do but it took approximately 12 hours to delete that particular post. A post like that on a site such as this should have been deleted sooner.

Seriously a post calling women "bitches" on a site that supports mostly women and it is allowed to stay on for 12 hours.
