Reporting Posts

[Ontario Mom]

I wasn't sure where to post/ask this so if this is the wrong place, please move it where it ought to be. I've seen a LOT of posts lately from newer members where family, friends, co-workers, etc., that have not been named by LE as suspects or POIs, being sleuthed and posted about on the forums. I mean, a LOT of these posts. I do report them when I see them but it seems like I'm reporting a TON of posts. Is that what the mods want us to do? I don't want to abuse the "report" function, so I just wanted to ask about that.

Ontario Mom, thank you for Reporting posts that you feel are in violation. We really appreciate when members Report posts that they believe violate TOS. We would rather they be reported earlier than later so that we don't have a massive cleanup of responses and further violations.

If you are concerned about "over alerting", no worries when they are obvious violations (or even if you just don't know). Over alerting is (for example) when we can see that the dynamics of a thread is such that there is angst between certain members and they are alerting over and over again on each other for silly reasons or simply because another member doesn't agree with them, etc.

Thank you sillybilly for the clarification, much appreciated.
