Question about the report function on the forum.

InternetSwag

How does it work?
Let's say someone goes and says, 'internetswag I hope you die in a fire' or something similar. This is obviously hate speech.

Let's say I report this post, does a moderator get a notification or does a post need X amount of reports before anything is done? Or is the entire system automated? (post gets x amount of reports - automatic removal etc)

Just curious, because I've used the function to report a few things here and there over the last 2 months and never seen anything happen to the posts unless a mod was directly tagged in it or the mod found it by themselves and took action.

Thanks.

We handle reports as they come in, from that point if any moderation action is taken it is between Moderators and those being moderated.

Out of total curiosity, how does one become a moderator? @BentWookiee
