Please be more honest and quicker to deal with bad stuff

It was not just one poster that alerted you to the utterly disgraceful stuff being posted in the Calais thread. I'm glad you've acted, but you should have acted at least 24 hours earlier.

Thanks for the constructive response, PH. The last thing I want is to shut down debate here, but there are some who abuse the freedom of debate.

Lee, how about a 'trigger' point where if a certain post reaches a specific number of reports from a number of users it is automatically quarantined until reviewed by moderators? 'X' reports from 'Y' users in a short space of time probably clearly indicates that a post is of questionable content.

Not a bad idea.

How do you guard against cliques of posters "ganging up" on a specific post, or poster?

ETA: the underlying point is that I think whatever approach is adopted to reported posts should be kept private between the mods and Haymarket, otherwise it is open to abuse.

which is exactly what would have happened at various points on the UKIP thread.

This thread has gone on rather longer than I expected and moved well away from its point, which was that PH needs to deal with bad threads and posts more quickly. They tell us they understand. Not entirely sure why this is still running.
