Reporting posts
 

Should the person reporting a post expect to receive any response or acknowledgement from the moderators other than a moderation action (perhaps) being taken with respect to the report?

YOU are dealing with volunteers.

Do not EXPECT anything of volunteers, you will not receive a favourable response.

In short not realy, if a post is reported it will get dealt with by one of the staff and in most cases the person who reported the post will not be notified that it has been dealt with,also the person who made the post will not be notfied that there post has been removed, It probably should be but it takes time and then an explaination may be required and i will be honest i just can't be arsed with all the palava so the post gets removed and thats the end if it realy.

If common sense prevails then the person who made the post that got deleted will hopfully not make another post that will just get deleted also if reported.

Edit.. & Sigh !

This little forum is small in the grand scale of things and we have members from all over the planet, We all try to get along with each other even if we don't agree on a lot of things and there are some amongst us that, ok i will be polite and say, like to bend the rules a little, where what i realy what to say is Some think the rules don't apply to them or they are justified in breaking the rules for the benift of the forum, which is ofcouse bullshit.

The rules are for everyone and even i am not above them and i have had my arse kicked on more then one occassion in the past :rolleyes:

Ok so sometime's we don't enforce the rules and let things slide, which ofcourse we should not but it happens and i guess some people take advantage of that, but i personaly like to try and keep this place as freindly as i possiably can and that might mean that on occasion i have to say to someone who i call a freind to back off and that they were in the wrong to make a post that i had to deal with, and then this friend takes the hump and storms off and sulks for a few weeks and then there is an atmosphere between us which is not good,

So i am guilty of this, Ie doing nothing when i should have done something just to keep the peace.

As algaeholics said we are all volunteers and don't what to see anybody unhappy or frustated, but at times tring to keep everybody happy is an impossible task.

Rant over :rolleyes:

Perhaps you are referring to what happens on another forum that uses phpBB architecture.

On that forum, a response is automatically sent to the reporter, when a report is closed.

Some staff do send an explanatory note on actions and response, but that is certainly not mandated, as with a forum of the size and pace as that one, and the amount of report actions, doing so would be extremely time consuming.

OK, UKLDF uses vBulletin 3.8.4, and I am unsure if this version has the auto response option for the Admins to select as a default action for report closure.

As Sam has explained, generally one can tell if the report has been addressed and moderating action has occurred.

If one is not satisfied with the outcome, send a PM to the staff to discuss grievances and options.

So merely suggesting this from my experiences, and not expressing any UKLDF position.

I consider it a gift :D

Lol. for once, wasn't me but must admit when I read it my first thought was to look for my own posts in that thread. :21

Frankly, I'm sick of that particular thread. They appear to be selling, what is effectively, a 'Lottery Ticket'.

In other words, 'a risk'.

Not cool. :no:
