As I didn't see any notice on this report button, I thought I put this out here.

*****************************

Anyway, I must say that this is a great suggestion as I first suggested it about 6 months ago.

You beat me to it Goldie.

Report any post that you find offensive and in violation of the rules.

Mods will then be notified, and they will deal with the situation.

great feature as I used today which catches the first questionable post.

*************************************

and I thought about asking this before but as I had to use this today - with what I thought were 2 inappropiate comments - especially since it was in a site thread where opinions where asked for, I am wondering how process works.

so after it is looked at

- is it dealt with by PM.
- is it ever posted on the site.
- think maybe the general problem should be posted so it is known what is allowed and not allowed and also since the reported incident happened in public anyway.
- are the penalities posted, if any given.

etc - just some general questions I thought should be brought up.

The report is not public.

It is noted in a private forum. We will decide the proper protocal for dealing with the reports soon.

Can we have the ignore feature back?

Oh, I can take a hint, Mav!!

Actually, I always thought that "Ignore" was a decent idea. It's not like anyone is forced to use it, but to have the option that would be nice for some who want it.

I don't ignore you, Mr.X. There's a big dumb moron currently running loose at the forums, though, and before any of his stupidity rubs off on the rest of us, this option must be installed for our own safety!

Krem, you're our only hope!

CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Krem has said no ignore because all it does it gets rid of the post...You still see their avatar and sig and stuff. Or something like that.

Isn't that the point?

From what I understand, it is a difference between this:

and this:

the former serves some purpose...the latter (KJ) is really no ignore at all...that is, you could easily scroll past, or, ignore, the first...the second, if all it does is changes the text, you can just as easily NOT read that person's post when you see it is by them.


I could be wrong, of course, but Krem seemed to have a smart, good reason for keeping if away...and he said he DID look into putting it back up...just not worth it.

The second way is a much preferable way of doing it, if it is ever brought back.

hm, well the whole point of my post was that it is NOT a better way...if you wish to ignore me, instead of just having all my posts say "kypade is on your ignore", just simply do not read them.

if we had the first way, you could scroll past without having my avatar, sig and all that other junk in the way.

in BOTH ways, though, all it takes is someone to quote the message and it shows right back up, assuming the quoter is not on your ignore as well.

oh well, i think if we get it back and it is the second way it would serve little to no purpose...i'll just skip over any users i dont wanna read (cuz really, thats EXACTLY what you are doing with the second way...just the text changes.)


again, i may have misunderstood krem's point, maybe there's an even better reason he didnt install it.

i guess, wait for him.

Yes I know that is your opinion and I was saying I disagree. The second way is good, you see who it is a post by but dont have to view the actual post, perfect. The first one seems odd, kind of like denial that a person existed.

I think they didn't install it just because it might lead to havoc with people talking about things others can't see, confusing conversations. At least to me that is the main argument against it that seems valid.

By the way I fully expect about 3 or 4 reports against some of the above posts in this thread.

ah, so it's just a matter of disagreement, eh...

well, then, yeah, i guess...i dunno.

i'd never use it either way, (i can ignore the old fashioned way), but i asked krem a while ago and that's kinda how i interpreted his reasoning...but yeah, wut do i no.

People should just ignore like we've been doing as humans for centuries: actually ignore them, not hide them. I try to practice that as much as I can when I see a post that reaaally bugs or insults me, but I know I will get too heated if I reply. Just push it away and remember it's just a message board.

And why do people have to be so rude and obnoxious when there are problems? Can we not express ourselves and our problems without being so immature? I know I've been guilty of this sometimes too, but still. Let's calm down and put things into perspective.



PEACE, Mike.

What it should do is...

For whomever is on your "ignore" list... instead of their post it should say "Blah blah blah... I'm a dirty tramp"

I think that would work...

This site looks awsome right now. I don't know when you updated it since I was gone for a week, but this is cool!

well has anything happened with this. I know about two weeks ago, I filled 2 reports as a poster not once, could have been a mistake, but twice in one thread came in to insult me.

Now again today, I made a basic comment to a post and this poster came back with an insult. Not sure why ones can't answer with straight facts ro opinions or just ignore but some are just that way.

and WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE REPORT BUTTON > I IMAGINE IT WASN'T INTENDED TO CATCH THE FAVORED POPULAR POSTERS BUT HOPEFULLY THE RULES WILL BE UPDELD. But that is no surprise as I see lots of the popular users going over the line but this site usually only singles out the few.

or if the incidents reported are allowable - tell me cause I would love to blast, bitch and curse out some users - just because I have no other come-back or anything to say.

Test.
