Good morning!
I have published an update to the site which uses the "Report" feature as a form of quick self-moderation. When multiple users report a post, it can now be hidden from the site until a moderator is online to take action.
This feature keeps track of how many times a post has been reported in a set period of time by different users. If the number of reports to the number of views passes a certain threshold, the post is revoked and held for moderation. All reported and moderated posts are still manually reviewed by an administrator/moderator, which should prevent abuse of this feature.
Additionally, I have updated the site-wide rules to address abuse of the "Report" feature.
Thanks,
Kam
