if you're stuck on whether or not to report that pesky citizen, refer here for more information.

BEFORE reporting:
    Consider ignoring the user if s/he is not really breaking any rules (severely, that is)(for example, leaving and entering repeatedly; excessive clapping)
    Verbally warn the user before reporting (except for obvious offenses such as swearing)
    Be nice


DEFINITELY report if:
    The user swears (indicated by three asterisks "***" or obvious misspellings of a swear word)
    The user uses excessively inappropriate, violent, racist, and/or sexual language
    The user spams (the same phrase repeated more than 3 times in quick succession, gibberish "asdfghjkkl;", single letters)
    The user admitted to being a multi (PMing a moderator if you are unsure is perfectly acceptable)


ALSO DO report if:
    The user uses caps EXCESSIVELY and does not stop after you verbally warn him/her first
    The user uses mildly offensive and/or abusive language (with or without swears) and does not stop after being asked to stop
    The user seriously pretends to be an administrator/moderator and uses that role in an abusive way
    The user begins talking about inappropriate topics (i.e. drugs, etc.) and does not stop after being asked to stop
    The user is repeatedly entering and leaving the room and it is Room 1


DO NOT report if:
    The user is idling (currently not against the rules, as annoying as it may be)
    The user is blocking the entrance, fridge, or in your favourite spot
    The user is clapping and kissing excessively (turn off your sound or ignore the user)
    The user called someone "stupid" once (or any other "mild" word)
    The user googled an answer in Quizaboom
    The user divorced you to marry some jerk in the Blue District
    The user is an eyesore


AFTER REPORTING, please:
    Ignore the user
    Do not report more than once (three or more for the same user/offense and you get a nice shiny red bar)
    Do not report if another user has already reported the perp (although it is entirely possible that several users will try to report at once)
    Do not insult or abuse the user


Post any reporting questions or concerns here. For example, if you accidentally reported the wrong user, you may post that here.

Getting a red bar for "Inappropriate use of the report function" may depend on which mod does the report; however, generally, we will not give you that red bar if you report someone for overuse of caps (and it isn't really that much) or saying a swear word that was unintentional, or for idling (as that used to be officially against the rules).

When in doubt, PM a moderator with the username. This is important, as we currently cannot access the user's log without their username.

This is where I have a problem. There are some words that aren't obvious swears. Obviously, if someone goes into a room and drops the F-bomb, a report is in order. But after seeing the word "sexy" go by unfiltered and in people's usernames, I think it's perfectly reasonable to think that the word won't be censored without the "y". In this situation, I would certainly warn before reporting, as it's not always so obvious to a person that they are actually "swearing".

Do note, though, that if we receive a report where one has reported a user for swearing and it happens that the user used a censored word that was not in a malicious context, we will not warn either party.

Whatever toots your horn, I suppose in the end it's just a bit more work for you.

Well, we didn't choose which words to censor. That was on Ioji's part.

Yes, I know, I'm just saying that encouraging immediate reports on any censored words will just make more work for you guys in checking those reports, but then again it's your time so if that's what it takes to be diligent...

It doesn't create more work; it's same amount of work; people always report for censors; everyone has their own little individual system.

My point is that there are always going to be people who report immediately, and people who decide to warn first. It really isn't going to affect the workload in those terms.

Yep. All of them.

Except maybe the eyesore one. I'm pretty sure there's been a break-up/cheating report, though.

Finally people will know that you don't necessarily need to warn.

A while back, reporting in a house never used to work, but I think it will now. I'm not sure.

And good idea making this thread.

You should add the most ridiculous reports you find as things not to report to this thread =).
