Question regarding the report button in kids chat

[verityisagoodgirl]

Would a moderator or forum mod/admin please tell me . When we report someone on kids chat using the report system, i was always under the impression that this was private ie between me & the mod who picked up the complaint ?
The reason I ask is after someone was reported for a legitimate reason,I'd like to know why said mod must of told that person who reported them , as the person immediately sent me an abusive pm thanking !! me for reporting them .
Having never spoken to that person before and no connection to them , the only way they could possibly know it was me , would be the one mod who was on told them ,
That kinda means i no longer feel comfortable reporting if my names going to be given to the offending user
I would appreciate anyone clarifying this for me , I do have ss of everything also Thanks

Mods aren't supposed to tell people who made the report but can tell the user they were flagged and what for as a warning.

They could have just assumed it was you if they were targeting you though.

Well, if the person you reported gets warned by a mod for a specific offense, and you were the only person they were talking to, then it's pretty easy to narrow down who reported them. Or if they got kicked for abusive language right after saying something rude to you, then they can figure out you're the one who reported them. But users can't directly see if they were reported. Hope this makes sense.

Agreed if i kbew or had any contact previously with that person, which I hadn't, plus they abused me within 60 seconds of my report , so they definitely got told

I reported a post from main chat , where they told a user to cut themselves deep with razor blades , i have no contact with them and didn't say anything in main

In that case, the mod must have told them who reported you which, as far as I know, they aren't supposed to do. Which mod was it?

The alt of a mod? That's interesting. I think screenshots of exactly what the account you reported said would help your case.

What does alt of mod mean please I guess I'm dumb

As in, a mod had two accounts, one a mod and one a user. The account you reported was the mod's user account, so that's why they could see that you reported them.

It means the person you were talking to is a moderator; they are just using an alternate account.thats the only way a person can get told reports since its against the rules to tell users.

A bimbo is an attractive female who is dumb so how can a bimbo be ugly?

To the OP: This is just a general comment as I don’t moderate that room. I completely understand your concern. And moderators should not be telling violators who reported them. As mentioned above, there may be situations where a violator could deduce who reported them and then try and harass them. In that case, I recommend not engaging with that person and reporting the harassing pm.

If it can be proven that a moderator intentionally told a violator who reported them this needs to be addressed by the room admin who is responsible for ensuring the moderators act accordingly.

I would encourage you to continue to report violators according to your comfort level. Thanks for your help 👍🏻

In this case the offender WAS the mod and they said something pretty rude to the OP.

I saw your ss but I don’t know who is a mod and who is a chatter. So are you saying that the Uruha account is a moderators ******** account? If that’s the case I would think the room admin should look into this further to see what rule was violated and take action against the moderator.
