Comment on Mods, what tips or etiquette do you recommend for reporting?

I’ll second this. Responding to the problematic content usually just leads to a lot more problematic content that the mods need to sort through.

Okay already glad I made this post as I have definitely erred in this regard several times!

I think that everyone did this at least once, so don’t worry too much. Still, it’s less work for the mods if you don’t do it.

For sure. Responding is the natural thing to do. But, for me at least, I end up reading every response and deciding if I’m safe to just remove the first reported comment, or enter child comment, or a mix.
Maybe some mods just delete the parent comment and all children to keep it simple, but I try to weigh each response fairly
