  • How exactly does the "report post" feature work?

    Does it PM the mods? Or just Mark and Dan? Or is there some other mechanism? I ask because I reported some posts in the OT, when both Ming and rah were on, and nothing happened.

    You're a hall monitor at school, are you not?

    Why would you report people, unless, well you know, it's something really serious?
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

      When I recommended "Snich" as your new username, I was serious.

        Did you see the thread?

              I saw that one earlier today and stopped following it after about 10 posts, I'm sure at least one mod has seen it.

                The button is connected to an alarm in Ming's house. When someone reports a post, red lights start flashing in his appartment, and the Flash Gordon music theme to boot .

                  It sends an email.

                  So in essence when you report a post, you email spam the mods

                    I made a rare visit to OT and saw that one myself. It was helpful to me. I learned how the ignore function worked.

                        It isn't an irreverant fun spam thread, so of course is allowed to stay in the OT.
                        Just as long as people aren't having fun in the OT!

                          Yes... it's an email... and that's why PM's work better for me, I'm more likely to see it faster.

                          However, as far as "nothing happened"... just because a thread/post is reported, doesn't mean that we will agree with the complaint and take action... Also, in some cases, it's handled by PM and not in the thread, so you don't really know if action was taken or not... unless you were the one complained about

                          Oh, and by the way... what thread

                            /me thinks this one wasn't done by PM...

                            Edit: btw, Ming can't you just close threads? I really don't like threads getting deleted.

                            And yes, I'm well aware you don't really give a **** what I like and don't like

                              Actually, it was... I'm more likely to see my PM's first.

                              When the threads are full of racist crap, they get deleted. It's that simple.
