General CA trolls - it's embarrassing

Actually I went to some trouble to reply to you and to explain what I believe constitutes transphobia in an earlier post. So saying "I can't" is a lie. I did.

Beasty has said he doesn't read every post, and only acts on reports. So you're also wrong there.

You seem to believe you can make demands of me and that if I don't meet your demands that it's because "I can't".

I posted earlier about giving some posters oxygen. Some I will, some I won't. Guess which group you're falling under.

Given your aggressiveness towards me, and I have been nothing but polite to you on this thread, I am now putting you on ignore.

Have a nice day.

I know this question wasn't directed at me, but if I may respond anyway, how can anyone know how often their reports are or are not actioned, when posters are not kept informed of the outcome of their reports?

This is not meant as a criticism of the volunteers who are doing the moderating. But you've said it yourself @Beasty, that more often than not you act on reports in the background, but you don't say anything about it on thread because you have so many to deal with that you don't have time for that - which is fair enough. Though it does suggest there are more than enough reports being made to keep you busy. ;)

But the downside of that is it can appear to those who do report, that their reports are disappearing into an abyss, as they are left not knowing if their report was even seen, or if it was worth the effort of making the report. I don't know what the solution to is here. The old yellow card / red card used to be a good visual indicator at least, on the old forum, that reports were being seen and acted on in the background. It's a shame that feature no longer exists.

I have to add that there is a bit of a "tell tale tattle" attitude coming across towards posters who make reports, even though it has been confirmed that reporting is encouraged and the mod team rely on reports. It really comes across as like being back in a school playground, where the class bully tries to stop the other kids from telling the teacher on them.

No, I'm not saying that, and no, I don't go back to check if posts I have reported have been removed, especially if its a fast moving thread. I don't have time for that.

And as far as I know, not all reported posts that are actioned, are removed. I think Beasty said earlier, sometimes a nil point warning is given to someone to tone it down, first, and often its enough.

Sometimes there are mod notes or directions on thread, but I don't automatically assume that is as a result of a report I made. I was of the impression that there needs to be more than one report(er) for that to happen.
