Reporting posts?

A couple of nights ago R0wantrees was subject to a heinous, vile post made by an [acronym]. Many of us rightly reported the post but didn't want it to be deleted as we felt it should be seen in all it's vileness.

Perhaps we should decide amongst ourselves if we want to report a post, knowing it will be deleted if found to be in breach of TG.

I'm not in any way criticising MN here and God knows I've done plenty of that in the last couple of days. If we report and it is deemed in breach of TG it is deleted. That has always been the way it is and I have no problem with it.

This is about posts we don't want deleted because we want lurkers to see just how some [term deleted by MNHQ] think.

Agree, disagree, opinions?

Hi there @R0wantrees,

We're really sorry that you're unhappy with our decision not to reinstate the post in question, and we understand why. We do feel though, that having made our decision for sound reasons, we shouldn't row back on it. Firstly because we believe the poster in question was a troll posting in bad faith, and that fact should take precedence over other considerations; Secondly because we feel we have a responsibility to other posters who might be in a similar situation as you, but perhaps less resilient or able to bat off the upset caused.

We hope that explains our position a bit more clearly, and again , we're sorry to have to disappoint you.

Best wishes
MNHQ
