But the practise of reporting a CBer just because you don't happen to be on their radar?
Spare Ed, it would be much fairer to have the post viewed by your team and for you to make the final desicion whether or not it should be removed,
Ok, there are the ones that are vile and have to be removed asap, but some people I think,get a kick out of reporting others (saddo's)
Is a post automatically removed after a 'report'?
If I ever had to report anyone...I would tell them I was doing it! How many of have checked our profile and thought' "What was removed, and why?"

Any posts that are reported are viewed by the Ed and it's their decision if it's removed or not, no posts are automatically removed just because they have been reported by X amount of people.
I've had 1 question removed and 29 answers in total (from over 10500) and I know almost all the removed answers are because the entire thread has been removed (about half of the 29 where on the swearing test thread a little while ago)
you were told right zee pet
I know answers do go when the thread is removed for whatever reason rinks, I suppose thats unavoidable
Ankou I am sure it happens, faff or not,
some people enjoy doing it!
couldn't the Ed's consider removing a post only after the the reporter has posted who and why they have reported them ? Obviously,as you say, the vile ones should be removed asap.
Depends what they have said. If it's pretty obvious why they are being reported (calling people paedo's etc) then I probably wouldn't bother letting them know. I rarely report though...
I report posts that are abusive or advertising,or contain links to innapropriate material (porn etc).I always tell the person that I have reported them...Sqad can vouch for that ;-)
when you report you have to state a reason why you are reporting by ticking a category box then typing a reason you think it is breaking rules, so if people are reporting for no good reason over and over, i think the Ed would deal with the reporter in some way
