Report Post Function in unmoderated forums
Randy,
When you had super-moderators the reporting a bad post would be sent to one of them, if the forum is unmoderated. Now that there are no super-moderators, where does that report a bad post go?
The reason I ask is that in the past few days I have reported several bad posts, everything from selling upgrades, personal attacks and threads obviously in the wrong thread... all were in forums that had no moderator. Not one of them was ever responded to by a moderator.
Also if you report a bad post, and the person who wrote the post is a moderator (but posting as a regular person, not a moderator), could it be the case where they are actually the ones who get to decide if their new post was appropriate or not? If so, should we be emailing the thread to you, or a different moderator for an outside, neutral opinion on the post?
Just trying to keep things straight here and FT remains an environment where I can both learn and have fun.
Merci,
MapleLeaf

If there is no moderator, it is my understandint that report posts go to Randy's staff, who are no doubt up to their eyeballs in prepping for the Freddies.
