What happens when you press the red exclamation mark on a post?

I reported a poster this morning, doing this, and have had no reply from MN.

I know you're probably all jolly busy sticking MN back together to stop it from falling over again, but just wondered what the process was?

I reported a poster/thread ages ago and I think it took a while (a day maybe)to get through. Try again

Thanks

Everyone gets an email saying who pressed it.

Well, I think it was probably someone who upset a lot of people this morning...

Tinker is correct. Then MNHQ put a 'sticky' at the top of active convos and the rest of MN is invited to give their true thoughts on the exclamation presser BUT the Exclamation Presser does not get access or visibility to the sticky.

Finally, a full report is sent to the Daily Mail.

Thanks

Look at where your name is on your post, then look to the right - and you will see a red exclamation mark.

I've reported 4 threads today and one post. Previously I think I have only reported one thread. I've had one reply saying the post has been removed (on the one that BIWI linked) and one thread (the one that that thread refers to) has been removed but I've not had an email to tell me.

Thanks

I feel left out now, there's no red exclamiation mark at all - what does this mean?!

Thanks

BecauseImWorthIt · 15/05/2009 21:55

There's definitely one there!

Not an awful lot, judging by today's episode. [disgusted]

I am surprised and a bit disappointed that I haven't had any kind of response from MN. Especially given the vitriolic nature of the poster in question.

But I don't know what normally happens/how long it takes, which is why I posted this.

I'm hoping that there's been a lot of action behind the scenes and that therefore replying to me is lower down the list of priorities ...

I don't have a red exclamation mark, just text saying 'report post'.

It depends what 'style' of MN you use.

Sadly, I'm not surprised. It certainly gives the impression that they care less about their demographic, and more that they actually have one.

It's a weekday, there are plenty of hands on deck. No excuse, IMO.

Thanks
