So does reporting post do anything?

[jrm2054]

In a span of 3 hours I reported a guy 8 times for
Racism
Being a dupe
Dodging the filter many times
Saying he wants someone to die
Calling me a lady and saying go in the kitchen and read about snookie

This is kinda crazy the funny part is a supermod came in and deleted a pic someone posted and left.
Why am I reporting if nothing gets done

[Raps08-09 Champ]

When you report a post, it creates a thread in the Mod forum and us mods can see what it happening.

I'll see the threads in the mod forum then I'll look into the post and determine if it's going to be deleted or not. I'll also determine to see if the poster's post is ban worthy.

Kingbret seems to have deleted the pst at least thanks. Guess this can be closed before it gets out of hand

[Raps08-09 Champ]

Damn, Kingbrent got to it before I could.

Problem solved though.

[LionsFan..LOL]

What Raps said is pretty much true and what happens, except him being a mod.

What I'll add is if you reported a post and nothing is being done then look for a active supermod and pm them. They are your best bet in handling the situation because they have control over all forums.

Just because I'm not blue, doesn't mean I'm not a mod.

[Avenged24]

Sometimes. It depends on the Mod who see's it first.

I know I've reported a few posts which should have been deleted and similar posts like that have been deleted in the past but yet it gets ignored so it just depends. If it is something obvious, it'll get dealt with eventually.

I see two reported threads by you recently, both of which were handled:

Reported time: 11-12-2012, 07:40 PM
Handled time: 11-12-2012, 8:25 PM

Reported time: Yesterday, 10:43 PM
Handled time: 11-18-2012, 11:03 PM

So if your definition of "anything" is handling the two reports in about a half hour, then yes it does do "anything".

If your expectation is that when you report a post it immediately gets deleted, then no it doesn't do "anything". This isn't a McDonalds where you can place your order and get your food in five minutes.

It was 8 post in the same thread from 8:30 to 10:45 then they were all handled at 11:03 it may have put them all in one report since it was the same thread.
I really don't know what the 7:40 one was from
