Hello everyone . In my experience, obvious notifications are effective even after 2 days! And what are your experiences?

@Eric Starker
I'm sorry it's a different topic, but in a different Microsoft Community - it's
great feature, if the reporter has the right reputation, the content that he considers harmful is automatically hidden!
I think that this is a Great Solution - waiting 2 days for the moderator's activities is too long.
If checked - they could be restored without harm to the author.
"The Guardian badge Description: Guardian Badge
Every time you report legitimate abuse in the community, you get a vote toward your Guardian badge. When you have reported enough confirmed cases of abuse and accurately pointed out the type of abuse, you'll get your badge. Reporting content that is not actual abuse will not get you votes and will slow your progress toward earning this badge.
Benefits of being a Guardian:
A Guardian badge will be added to your profile
Content the Guardian reports as abusive is automatically hidden until moderated."

@Dylan Snodgrass , I should share in other forums like Microsoft Answers and Microsoft Q&A there is something called Volunteer Moderator program. It means users who are contributing to the forum and providing helpful response, will be granted the moderator status and during free time, they will moderate and response to requests. I believe you have to get help from the Community and ask for their help and you may contact people in charge of these forums to see how this program works. For example Microsoft Answers is doing a great job because of their volunteer moderators. You could consider to provide them with training and monitor them. I believe the best way to improve response time to abuse report is getting help from trusted people in the community.

I believe we really need a volunteer moderator program, so I shared my idea , you may Upvote it and add any additional suggestion in the comment.
The idea is Volunteer Moderator Program in the Microsoft Tech Community - Microsoft Tech Community

For me, it would be enough to add two buttons (hide immediately) - this causes the development of typical reasons on the same principle as it is in e-mail programs.
And the second button (move, check) and expand - enter for what reason you think it needs to be analyzed.
Access to such permissions would be restricted to MTC Members approved by Microsoft on the basis of reputation.
Volunteer Moderator status - this would be the next stage of approval

It's a pretty strange scenario!
If someone abuses this right, the Moderator will immediately see it - for me it is obvious.
And what is the guarantee that the Moderator (volunteer) - will not abuse the powers?
You want him to be able to move the post, delete, edit - this is a great commitment
I only expect the possibility of hiding not proper - offensive posts until analyzed by the Moderator.

Since this is a public forum - the most important thing for me is the ability to immediately hide (not delete) a post that should not be visible!
For example: a scammer claiming to be technical support + phone number, email address.
or offensive (inappropriate content) to recognize it are not needed training for the Moderator (volunteer).
Or someone starts a discussion on a topic that doesn't deal with technical matters related to IT.

I think that a better solution is to hide the reported post and after checking restore it, but you can not allow the MTC to be inappropriate content for 2 days despite reporting to the Moderator.
For me it is obvious - if my post is hidden then I can wait 2 days for restoration - I am a guest here so I accept Microsoft's rules.
