Since “report” buttons currently don’t appear in most places, the lists of reported items go without update for months, so there’s not much incentive to look at them. The last reported item in Main is of 12 June 2011. But I’ve got the pages bookmarked, so if the feature is resurrected it’ll serve its purpose.
Is there somewhere on LW to report this kind of thing? A spam or admin notification thread?
See this ticket. Currently, one of the moderators has to notice personally, though you could for example send a PM to me.
I see now that there’s a “report” button in my inbox—I knew I’d seen it somewhere on this site.
Cheers, I’ll PM in future.
In practice, the report button doesn’t seem to do much. There’s a list of reported things, but I don’t think any mods look at it.
