Follow up to reports

[SkyHound0202]

So last week I reported a few ad bots posting spams like "Black Friday Deals" and "Vitamin Supplements" in various sub-forums and their blogs. (It's getting rampant lately!) All of them got removed fairly quickly. But I wasn't aware they were removed until I tried to go back to the previous page and it told me it's no longer there.

 

Is it possible to add a function to offer follow up of the report to the report submitter, like what action was taken against the users and their posts?

Why though?

Transparency and responsiveness.

 

Plus, knowing that an annoyance has been dealt thanks to you feels like both an assurance and an achievement.

I feel like it would be a great chore to respond to every single report they must get, they probably get dozens upon dozens a day and don't have the time to respond to every one if they tried.

IDK, sounds like you want a trophy for reporting a post.

 

I think it's completely unnecessary, but I guess it's up to admins.

I understand the workload of the moderators and admins of the forum.

 

I would like to clarify that I am not requesting an individual response from admin(s) to every single report they receive. My suggestion was inspired by those automated response used by various other sites like Facebook and Twitter where the will quickly send out a message telling you that "Your reported post was removed" or "Your reported item does not violate the community standard", etc.

 

Since submitted reports have to be reviewed and decided, it's feasible to add an automated feedback to whoever submitted the report.

This ain't a competition, but participation. I quote the community standards:

if there’s an issue, please use the report function. This includes responses such as "Off topic", "spam", "advertising", "status update material" etc; leave it for the mod team to handle.

I kinda agree with posts that aren't issue should get this. CS is rather vague on some things and there are several unwritten rules that are applied (or aren't any longer). It might make less report spam to let people know where the lines are.

 

But I wouldn't still expect them from every single report made, and surely not for those posts that are clear spam, advertising etc. For those I've interested I bookmark post and check it next day.
