humanbean234 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Why on earth was he reported? And who would use the report button in such a way that devalues its nuclear option effect? Why-what-who was reported?Anyone I know, or best if I mind my own bizness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roquefort Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Why on earth was he reported? And who would use the report button in such a way that devalues its nuclear option effect? Well making a thread with a misleading title in order to (as admitted) drag readers in could be considered spam, so maybe that's the reason. I didn't click `report' BTW and wouldn't have done in this case, but someone else maybe felt more strongly and went ahead rather than express a complaint in the thread itself (and so becoming a self-appointed thread-cop) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't click `report' BTW and wouldn't have done in this case, but someone else maybe felt more strongly and went ahead rather than express a complaint in the thread itself (and so becoming a self-appointed thread-cop) ;) Not to mention a coward. I don't know that whoever reported should necessarily be called a coward (if that's what you meant). Dark0ne has posted the following (in a pinned thread about forum vigilantes): ...when you see an example of thread necromancy, spamming or wrong doing don't start replying to the thread with reasons why it should be deleted et cetera, because more than likely your post will be deleted too and you'll be affected by the same -4 post count deducted the spammers get. So, conclusion: Use report moderator feature, don't start telling people what they can and can't do. Thats our job.What I meant was that whoever clicked "report" was possibly trying to avoid being a thread-cop, in accordance with the above advice (though I still think it was over-reacting).

LoginToDownload Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The report was because there was a duplicate thread in General Mod Talk... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonp92 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 maybe the reason why he was reported was that he made the exsact same tread in another section??? i can not seem to find the tread now.. maybe the modarator actually confirmed the report..
