..should i get a reply or a reasoning why my report was not acted on? not sure what the procedure is.
I reported http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=57855171&postcount=19 the day it was posted as being off topic, and typical made up story, but heard nothing since..
Which one of the seven PI mods would reply? any or all?...
.
It really helps us when a post is reported as there can be a lot of traffic in the forum. We can make our calls based on that. Sometimes a single post is reported several times. All mods do look at them and we get notifications when they come through.
Indeed, if several posts are reported in a single thread, it alerts us that soimething is happening in thread and we will watch it more closely as sometimes they degenerate very quickly.
But we can get a lot of reported posts in a single day and replynig to the one making the report would be a lot of work. Its better to look at the thread and see if action is taken, if not then theh mods will have made a call on it.
So in summary: no i wont pm the one making the reported post...but will deal in thead with the reported post itself if necessary.
But it really is appreciated when someone does report posts.0 -
Many thanks, I fully understand that PI is probably the hardest forum to mod on all of boards, and am aware of the quantity of traffic u have to put up with. I was more curious than anything else, cos i hadnt heard, and nothing had happened to the post.
now I know, thanks again!Which one of the seven PI mods would reply? any or all?....

Nope, you shouldn't get a reply. Some mods will send one if they feel it's needed, but I've never done that, I don't think. Reporting posts is appreciated, but it's then up to the mod to decide whether or not to act upon it. If it was ignored, you can assume the mod decided it was okay.
Sorry little question on this. I was banned from a forum for a week a good while ago because a user reported my post. The mod who banned me said they didn't really see anything wrong but i had to be banned because the other person was offended by my post enough to report it
So was that just a story to justify the banning? 0 -
Maybe what the mod meant was that your post was technically offensive but might have been ignored in other circumstances. If someone does take offense and reports it, they have a right to protection under the charter, even if the pragmatic thing would be to let it go.Sorry little question on this.

Perhaps that was it. Tbh it was a really silly thing anyway. It was in one of the tv forums and i said one of the people on a programme did something that to me was a bit chavvy, thats what i got banned for! The mod then posted that i had been banned and hateful behaviour wouldn't be tolerated a few people posted back and the mod changed it to dislike will not be tolerated or something. After a bit of pming the mod said they didn't find anything wrong with my post and the other users posts were worse and eventually they banned that user too. All seemed a bit mad to me. Thanks for clearing it up 0

Sounds like I wasn't even close.
Lol!
Sorry i rambled! I just didn't get it, i spoke to the mod at length through pm about it but was none the wiser and didn't feel they were taking my boards on board.
If the charter protects people who claim offence regardless of post content then i see why i might have been banned, so thanks for that info!0
