The FUck?

A "Report" button? Jeff taken up snorting oven cleaner?

Either we have a Karma system, or we have SysOp Moderation. One or the other. Srsly. Smiley: dubious

"Report" Button?
FUcking stupid idea:23 (26.7%)
Only if it replaces the Karma system :4 (4.7%)
Good idea:19 (22.1%)
I want to place my face between Penelope Cruz's breasts, shake my head and make a "Blllbllblllbll" sound:40 (46.5%)
Total:86


I put the last option in as a shiny thing for the hard of thinking

I would guess that the report button is there to take care of stuff that needs to die immediately--not so much annoying posts, which the karma system handles nicely, but stuff like game currency sellers, people spamming links to their keylogging websites, that sort of thing. Kind of how images can be reported as well--it helps bring the stuff that needs immediate attention to the admins' attention. I don't know whether or not the post immediately disappears the way images, do, though.

Alas, it was written in American. I speak 7 languages, 4 fluently, but American is not one of them.

I'm sure most of them cannot understand Brummie or that awful northern slur you call a language Smiley: tongue

I love American, especially a slow southern drawl Smiley: inlove

American is an anti-language. It distorts other languages, bastardises them and sodomises their ***** 'till they bleed malapropisms and bizarre spellings. You can't be blamed, really - anyone with any sense would steer well clear.

Who mentioned Latin American countries? Silly old man you are. Do you need to lay down and rest that poor alzheimers afflicted brain of yours?

You know what these forums could use? An ignore feature. Or just mute GrowlingBunny - it'd have the same effect.

If it has been implemented properly, the report button is a good idea. Most of the time the posts that were in need a admin attention, such as gold selling, phishing, or lewdness, were reported of in the site feed back forum. There they would be nuked. Karma was far too slow in taking care of the issue, and almost never came into effect before the problem was effectively dealt with.

If the site's staff become content with the report button then we could potentially do away with karma. It would no longer be ineffective and superfluous, only superfluous.

Considering the amount of gold spam on the WoW forums the past couple weeks, and the annoyance of having to go to the feedback board to make a post about it if the admins aren't looking, this is a good thing.

I have reported you for attempting to undermine the authority of the admins!

Dissent be damned!

Interestingly, the report button is there on admin posts as well.

Soviet Russia?

Are you likening a report button on an internet forum to the brutal purges of Russia undertaken by Josef Stalin, purges that killed millions of people?

That's sick, man. Get some sense of proportion.

No, I'm talking about the blissful happiness under the rule of John Lenin where the true power lay in the people.

Think of it as a test of continued posting fortitude.

I think Kao just links the button in his to a self-mute link.

The first time I saw a Report button I said "Hm, what is this?" and hit it. I soon got a sternly-worded letter from an admin about the proper use of the reporting button. I guess it's to take down **** images.

edit: oh wow, there's a *new* Report button. didn't notice that. I wonder if I can Report myself?
