reporting bad posts

ceegee

I'm technically incompetent. How to we report "bad" posts?

click the triangle underneath their name in the post

ceegee

and then what......does that post automatically get reported or do we need to write a mesage?

write a message i think

ceegee

thanks, Heather, I've sent a message with it and from the looks of my sent items box it looks as if the email heading has a post reference of some sort in it. But I wrote a message as well to be on the safe side. Blimey, I don't half struggle with this blasted computer!

The post which I reported has now gone. I don't know if it was as a result of my reporting it or not. Maybe someone else reported it too. It would be useful for the future to know if just hitting the triangle is sufficient in itself.

You will get a Thank You email from Webby telling you what action was taken.

that post automatically gets reported but it is helpful to write why you think it's a bad post as sometimes it's not immediately obvious .

Then it gets dealt withj as soon as abuse have time,sometimes quickly.......sometimes a little slower


You may or may not get a report as this is not always possible if a large number are reported or more than one person reports a post


hope that helps

Why did they change it so that you have to email them? It was much easier to click on the report button and enter a message....

ceegee, if the post you are reporting is perhaps spam, ipod, affiliate or referral all you need to write is spam or whatever as that heading takes Abcon straight to the particular post.

Should you be reporting a post that disturbs you by its content then its best that you give your reasons why.
