I've noticed (having just completed 6 pages of what can only be described as the most frivilous of reporting) that many of you don't really know in what situation to use the report function.
It is only right in the case of more minor offences (such as mild overuse of caps or the repetition of a line once) to verbally warn the offender as opposed to gleefully warning someone just because you can.
If they continue and ignore you THEN use the report function. Many times users are warned having no idea theyve done anything wrong.
This has reached a ridiculous level and is ruining many peoples fun (as I was in a rare foray into the park and had a bit of a singalong with some regulars I was reported 3 times )
I'd very, very much like all of this to stop. _________________

not to be rude or anything but topics don't go where people visit the most, the go in the forum according to the topic discussed. That way, anyone looking for it can do so easily (and make things alot less confusing).
Ok ben i'll do that. (i think i'm already doing that but idk). _________________

Probably because repeating lyrics is spamming.
I have a question: Is the report creating a file of what happened before being emitted, or does it records what happens after, too? In other words, I wanted to know if I should report twice a person if it keeps doing what it was reported first on an excessive level, or in another room. _________________ Unlike in BTC, repeatedly leaving and entering the forums does not bring better topics. |

Maybe this could be a forum announcement?
Every single Sub-forum contained an announcement containing this info? _________________

I completely agree. I also think there is an issue with new people not knowing how to report people when they need to. And also an issue with when you need to report someone but they've run off and you don't know how to find them. _________________ Some things you should click...

Sadly, I doubt there is anything that can be done with that at the moment, unless ioji would be willing to improve the search function, adding BTC names to the list. _________________ Unlike in BTC, repeatedly leaving and entering the forums does not bring better topics. |

Report one person per incident, we can check what happens after as well. _________________

But if it's the difference between somebody just writing too much in caps and continuing after being warned, and then later swearing excessively, the incidents are seperate and so two reports is acceptable. _________________

That's what I understood.
Also, why isn't this stickied? _________________ Unlike in BTC, repeatedly leaving and entering the forums does not bring better topics. |

Ahhh... Trigger happy members I see. I used to do that, and sometimes still do. I'll keep this in mind before clicking that star. _________________
