Has anyone tried reporting today, and if you, have you been successful?

So far some of the people I know, have had success with dropping violations.

Update:

I'm trying to find out, to see if others have been successful.

Update 2:

So far that takes the count over seventy successful reports.

Update 3:

It's going to take a super sized front end loader, and mining dump truck to clean out what has accumulated.

Update 4:

I will be selecting a best answer. I have a one hundred percent rate of choosing a best answer. One I intend to keep.

Update 5:

Well it seems to have gone out again. But still selecting a best answer.

    The basic grey flag reporting - Yes. It was a couple of new accounts with the non answer ABC stuff.

    I doubt it was only my report that deleted them, even though they had been up since last night.

    As far as any to the abuse email, I've not sent any in yet today. I do know that it worked on Monday though. Regardless, as WHizz! has mentioned 'the crap sure piles up fast' when we can't.

    Hopefully reporting is back in the green, thanks for the 'success' report.

    Source(s): I'm a hearing impaired guy that answers a lot less these days and focuses more on reporting pedophiles, pornographic pics, & 'go kill yourself' accounts. I do have a life outside of YA, but when I'm here - I really do try to keep this site safe for everyone.

    Absolutely 100% success today. I reported 20 violations of spam. All dropped instantly. My TR is back.

    I am not a heavy reporter. 20 a day is all I do. I'd try again tomorrow and see

    Did my one a day test and dropped one...Tried 2 more and they dropped too so HOPING it is working again. The crap sure piles up fast without reporting. The site was starting to look like a new version of Dizzay.
