Using my throwaway in fear of backlash or getting banned for criticism. I YET AGAIN saw another (presumably) CSAM poster. I only saw a glance but the number of downvotes and the fact that it’s posted on random communities makes me believe that this is another CSAM poster. I reported it and an hour later, it’s still there? Please it’s so sickening. I might actually stop using this website.

      Except it isn’t a stretch to suggest that there ought to be a mechanism in which a post will be shadow deleted if it receives a high percentage of downvotes and multiple reports of keywords like CP/CSAM etc within a short space of time. This would then rely on an admin either reapproving (if it wasn’t) or deleting the material permanently, but would make it safer for end users.

      Heck, have it so that if someone triggers this mechanism, their account is shadow banned until the admin can take action so they can’t spam post to other communities/instances.

    Pretty sure I tried reporting the same thing, but for me the button would just spin endlessly, suggesting it wasn’t actually sending anything.
    I’ll have to test this some more to know if it’s on my end or whatnot.
    Anyhow, I ended up messaging the mod team and they were purged shortly after that.

      Maybe that was the case. I don’t remember if it was spinning endlessly for me too I just assumed it sent. Thanks for messaging the mod team. I will try that next time I come across something bad but I don’t think I’ll go here for a week or so. I need a break from the internet.

    At this point I’m afraid the FBI will show up at my door just for browsing on here. This is not the first instance and I reported as well
