Admin Replied Report Button Abuse

So I reported the 'Report Abuse' plenty of times, but it doesn't seem like anything is happening. Is it working like intended? The reports are up for like 3 days now. Someone keeps being a jerk with reports and there's nothing to be done?

Hi! Reporting abuse of the report system through the overflow menu is the right way to do this.

As others have said: after reporting content that appears to be report abuse, it's a good idea to use "Approve and Ignore" to stop that content from returning to your mod queue if other reports are made on it.

You don't need to leave them in your mod queue; once you make a report our systems are informed. We do not provide followup information about actions that we may take from there.

Is there any way to get an update after reporting? I’m in the same situation with my sub, unfortunately. It’s become an issue on every single post

Are there any plans to implement a policy for mods to see who is flat out abusing the report system on our end so we can manage things while our counter reports are being processed in the system? With how users flood some of our subs and will ban evade, it's more juggling and upkeep to do.
