Our mysterious "Report" button..

Well.. this has happened more then once.. i make a post.. get flamed.. i dont reply to the spam.. i report it, like we are told to do. so.

My topic gets closed, they dont get warned, or even talked to about it.. and i get to spend more time creating more topics wasting more space and effort by everyone(mods, spamers, me).. why not just warn these people get it done and over with. whats the point of a report button.. when it only screws you outa your own time and effort.

Seems pointless.


My Rantings.

when you report something the meds come to your topic....eventally !

yeah, to close it.
Reporting SOMEONE ELSE shouldn't result in YOUR topic being closed - that's freakin' moronic.
Maybe if meds actually looked at what was happening, this wouldn't be an issue.

my point exactly!

talked with a large number of people about it.. and everyone seems to agree.. its one of the biggest reasons i dont pay for topics(red/bold) its a waste a lota times, and i dont feel like wasteing fg.. even if it just 5

I completely agree with you on this subject. However, I've noticed that in a matter to get around it, users simply PM a moderator about the subject with the thread and they'll usually post a verbal warning about the spam.. But I guess for now, there's nothing more we can do about the subject.



Yeah, I'm sure if you contact a mod about this every time it happened, it would get bothersome. I think I've only resorted to this once.

yea. i do the PMing when its more extreme.. personal attacks or w/e yea know.

Sadly ive seen recently moderators post up to "stop the spam" half time sounding more childish then the spammers themselves.. but then.. the spammers just SPAM THE MEDS!! lol.. some if its tbh extrmemly funny.. its really a joke with the people who do it..


Thanks for all the opinions! Keepem comen!






yea.. 100% agree here.. sad they need to waste time on things like this. but it would help the site SOO much.

I agree that the punishment should result in warns, and not just closing the topic. Especially if it is YOUR topic and you reported a spammers post in your thread. No one will stop if nothing happens to them.
