i've come across a posting i found offensive. i've read the house rules and the page on moderation, but have a few questions.
1. if i use the yikes button, will the complaint i write be accessible by the person who wrote the post i am complaining about ?
2. will they know it is me that has made the complaint ?
3. will there be communication between myself and the moderation team other than my complaint and the mods email letting me know the outcome ?
i'm not sure which is the right page to post this on, so will put it on both the h2g2 team page and the faq miscellaneous page.
the above link to the community editor says she is not the community editor anymore, btw.
thanks,
kea

Hi kea,
I hope you're having a nice festive season.
1. if i use the yikes button, will the complaint i write be accessible by the person who wrote the post i am complaining about ?
No. The only people who will see your complaint are the members of the Moderation team. These are the Moderators, and Abi and myself, who look after the Community.
2. will they know it is me that has made the complaint ?
No. If the complaint is upheld and the posting edited or removed, they will only know that a complaint came in, not who it was from.
3. will there be communication between myself and the moderation team other than my complaint and the mods email letting me know the outcome ?
Probably not, although if you email in again about the posting/complaint for any reason you will receive a reply from us.
Thanks for letting us know about the page, I've fixed it now.
I hope that you feel more confident about using the complaints button now if you need to.
