  • Report Post Feature

    Just wondering, how often is this used and how useful is it to you, the moderators?

    [Note: I have used it twice so far today... first time in months ]

    And does anyone else use it

    Something has to really get to me for me to use it. I've used it once or twice before, but I'll usually just ignore any problems and assume the mods will clean up later.

      I noticed

      I will read through every one I get. Many times I take action right away. For some complaints, I will just file it because it is borderline... If the complaints stack up against somebody, I will then take action. And for a few, I just delete them, because they either don't make sense or are just plain silly.

      In your case DarkCloud... I filed both of them.

        How does it work for you mods? For instance, a couple times I have reported threads that I felt should be closed for spamming - is a report what should have been used? Or only for bad behavior of one poster?

            I've only ever used it once. MtG put a bullet in the offending thread in less than 2.5 minutes IIRC.
            I was most impressed.

              I think I have used it once, when someone posted something that was in my opinion far behond the line. (I think I was the only one with that opinion though )

              I think it's a good feature, but I always feel with features like that like I'm at school, and someone is going to report to the teacher that I did something wrong.

              Again: I agree with the feature, and I think it's good, but I can't help that I get that feeling. It's just the feeling I get. This feeling inside me, you know.

              Ming, don't you ever get that feeling, like 'yike, weanie, get the hell out of here with your friends-reporting annoying call for attention attitude' ?

                I haven't used it here or on any other Forums, as I am tolerant of nearly anything out there

                  I never report my friends.

                  Seriously. I won't hesitate to report posts that I think are out of line. I don't read the political, troll, or personal attack threads in the off-topic any more because I'd be tempted to report everyone.

                    I'll usually only use it when two (or more) posters have threadjacked an otherwise interesting thread by hurling asinine insults at one another. That's about the only thing that really gets my goat.

                      I've used it once. But not due some 'disallowed material'. Only to report that a thread has 500 posts, and it should be closed - so that another could be started.
                      I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                        Yeah, I used it a few times to snitch out people to Ming.

                            Thanks ming
                            Well, this feature seems to be getting better use than I thought it had.

                            (P.S. ming, that poster I mentioned in the report HAS to be a DL Look at his name and his posting style )
