I'm relatively sure even if I'd have logged off everything would have been fine since I put detailed info and chat logs into the reports. Two of those three times they messaged me in the middle of my next duty and then when I said I was busy in an instance told me to message them once I had left the duty which ended up being about 14-16 minutes later.


Long story short: Just keep playing or leave if you have to it doesn't matter a whole lot. If they need your input they'll ask for it and patiently wait for a response.
Yeah actually about 40-50 mins after I made this post I got the automated message. Between that and responses here I felt comfortable enough to leave the game and take a break.

you as the reporter though will never know what happens for privacy reasons. likewise the person that you reported will never find out that it was you that reported them for the same reason.

That's ok with me, its better not to know anyway. Honestly having looked up how to report and what to expect with the reporting experience, there were so many people really hammering SE and their GMs for being incapable 9 times out of 10. I'm genuinely glad to hear that's not the case.
