I have a question.

Is the report option just to inform the admins about posts that break the rules, or it can also be used to highlight some things.

For example:

I wish for my poll to be locked and I post saying: "Please lock this poll because it's time expired" and then I report my own post to gain attention from an admin.

Is that possible?

With the old report feature, it would have been a bit difficult and odd, and source of confusion. Now since you can actually (and might have to) add a reason to your report. It would be possible. And I personally have no reason to be against such usage. But try not to overuse the report feature for totally random and stupid reason... you'd be reporting yourself for spam in a way.

Stealth@ Congratulations for your 1000 post!!!!!! Yay!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀

I wouldn't have noticed... really 🙂 And now I just broke the magic 🙁

I report what i see that is "spam/other things", i dont go out of my way to find posts worth reporting.

Actually, you can't report a post that you yourself made. So for your thing to work, you'd actually have to report someone else's post and then explain it in there, hahaha (yup, twisted)

I usually report everything that breaks the rules except one word posts and posts that go off topic but I do post in a warning for those...

🤣 i actually picked #10, then as i was scrolling through the other posts i saw the quote button, and the report button and realised i'd seen that button a million times and that i'm an idiot =]

ah well.

really? you cant report your own post? hmmm i'll see if the button's there after i post this post.

Edit:... ... ... AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where has the horse gone from stealth's signature? WHERE 😕 ? <=OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

nuuuuuu!!! 🤢

2ndEdit: lamb is... 16? and reads yaoi/shounenai/shoujo? REALLY?!?!?! =O
sorry, just read that somewhere else and was amazed. and thought since i posted bwt stealth, i'd post bwt lamb too.

^sorry if all of that is spam.

btw, would it be against forum rules to create a thread on lamb? and sorry if half this post was spam. i'll shut up now.

I totally think it's impossible. Who is at fault? The users? No I don't think so... They are just theirselfs... If someone is guilty..I would say the mods/admins are at fault...

Why? How about we take the Adult (18+) section as a example... It clearly says 18+ - clearly...and what do I see there? Posts from users like xombiemonkey...and we all do know...he's 14 (well I think he is)...He clearly stated it...we can't assure it, but we have to take what he said as a truth..so...why is he posting there? Not even a single mod is taking actions against that...

The mods are lacking control over the forum...Giving some control (to an minimal extend) to the users or just appoint some trusted users as mods would be wise...reporting posts will end up in flaming and whining...

I don't mean to offense mods/admins or some users... But if someone still wants to discuss this matter... I don't think I'll be posting here again..so...pm me...

SeeYa

Hmm... I report people advertising, real spam (the same thing posted repeatedly thats often an accident, not off-topic stuff, though i don't like that either ;P) and hate posts (only severe ones, extreme racism etc.).

Oh and 1 post users asking for downloads.

Eh, I put other since I dont even really pay much attention to rule breaking posts at all. Compared to some other forums I have been a part of, MU is pretty nice and there really isnt any constant rulebreaking going on so Im never really bothered by the occasional post that might be breaking the rules.

lol i just realised the report button was there lol but still i havent really felt the need to do that yet...probably i joined like last week 😀

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Whoa, I see some interesting answers! 😀 God, and again the mods have appeared in the thread I made..Stealth has lost his 1000th post to this poll...
Funny ^^

Good. I think, that we would all appreciate some ideas for dealing with all kinds of reporting situations.
For example, are there any exceptions we should keep in mind when we're reporting posts? We'd like to know them ( less work for both us and the staff ).
How about writing it here?

Well, now it's a lot easier...before, we had to ask someone to report our posts ( reporting someone else's posts without being able to explain why we're doing that...it would suck ). I wonder if my post/posts was/were reported ...

...shame we can't report a post because it's stupid 🤣 ok, that was random. but true.
Hard not to agree with Gorath...but, hey, have some faith in mods. I don't believe they'd have done nothing, knowing that a 14 yo kid is actively posting in the adult section. Well, they know now, after your post.

(btw, every post in here was reported)

(jk) That was nasty 🤣

Still the [color=red]bad[/color] cop.

It's wierd that I knew that you could report, I knew how you could report if you asked me, but I never really knew that it was that word beside 'quote'. I just totally delete it from my mind when i'm trying to quote from someone. Like now=):

(btw, every post in here was reported)

(jk)

And I don't really care if someone snitches, no harm can come from it, and you're helping not only the mods, but your forum (from spammation). =D. Just don't yell 'SNITCH SNITCH SNITCH'. -_-

Uhh, where does it say I read all that? From what I can tell, it says this:

Likes (From Public Lists Only)
Comedy (87), Romance (78), Shounen (69)

Yaoi = no way
Shounen ai = again, no way
Shoujo = sure, I read some...What's wrong with it?...

Btw, I'm 17, not 16

Well, I guess you could in the Chatter Box section...It's not really against the rules to talk about us

idk if this is the right place to post this...
but...
i dont like the new report thing!!!
it tricked me...i thought i was posting a reply to a quote....and it was the report 😢 😢 😢

but maybe i am just stupid like that.

but other than the trickery it pulled on me...its cool and very usefull....
spam?
idk.

Hahaha, don't worry, I figured out right away how you messed up. You're actually the first one to do that

And if you think you get confused between "quote" and "report", us admins/mods have "edit" beside every post too (so that we can edit the content of offending posts)

A just ruler amongst tyrants

Um... This may sound stupid, but I'm really curious. What happens to those who get reported?
