ESD forum moderators allowing harassment - how to report inappropriate comments?

I've noticed this too. There's a 'Report' button at the bottom of each comment, but honestly I don't think anyone checks those reports. I clicked it on several really nasty comments last month and they're still up. The moderation here seems practically non-existent compared to other forums I use.

people come here for help not to get judged!! moderators should do their job or step down SMH

This is unfortunately common across many unemployment forums. While we wait for better moderation, I'd recommend focusing on the helpful responses and ignoring the negative ones. If you're having specific issues with your ESD claim that brought you here in the first place, what are you struggling with? Perhaps we can help with the actual unemployment questions while the moderation issues get sorted out.

ya the hhaters are everywhere lol just block em and move on. this isnt even an official ESD forum so what do u expect?? its just random ppl trying to help eachother figure out the stupid unemployment system

Regarding your adjudication issue - 6 weeks is unfortunately not uncommon, but you can try to get through to an actual ESD agent to check the status. I was in adjudication for nearly 8 weeks last year and finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an ESD agent within about an hour instead of spending days trying to call myself. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 The agent I spoke with was able to tell me exactly what was holding up my claim and what documents I needed to submit to resolve it. Worth considering if you're getting desperate.

As someone who's been on both sides of this (both a claimant and someone who's helped administer benefits in the past), I can tell you that unofficial forums like this one often lack proper moderation. The harassment issue is real and unfortunate. Regarding your adjudication - 6 weeks is concerning. Have you tried calling the ESD office directly? While their phone lines are notoriously difficult to get through, with persistence you may be able to speak with someone who can check your claim status. Make sure you have your claim ID and personal information ready when you call. Also, check your ESD online account for any alerts that might indicate missing information they need from you.

this happened to me to. i waited 9 WEEKS for my claim!!! the system is broken nobody cares about us regular ppl

Back to your original question about moderation - I did find an email address for the site administrators at the very bottom of the page. Maybe try sending a message there specifically about the harassment issues? Might be more effective than the report button.
