I like this new feature; often, very inappropriate posts/commercial spam can remain on the forums for up to an hour while there are no moderators online.

zippynk · 2012-04-13 23:16:15

Hmm... This could definitely backfire.

What if it was a duplicate topic?
Perhaps you should have a menu when reporting, with the options: "This is urgent" and "This is not urgent".

FreshStudios · 2012-04-13 23:27:49

I'm confused, though... what if we report it several times because we want a name change or something on our topic? Also, what if spammers make tons of accounts to report one post? That would be unfair... does it do it on each user, or each IP?

To the two above posts: see end of first page for a post from Lightnin addressing this issue. Please read the thread before posting... smile

Sounds like a good way to combat the troll attacks smile

This could be a problem- if a topic post is reported four times because it's in the wrong forum, it might not be good to have the person temporarily banned, especially if it's a new scratcher.
EDIT: Maybe you should whitelist some words like "move", "wrong forum", or "closed".

I think this question has been answered earlier on the thread. smile

So - it's really really rare that 4 Scratchers all report the same topic before a mod actually sees and processes the report. (That's why it's set to 4). But if this does happen too much, we can increase the threshold to 5. But we don't anticipate this happening often at all - and even if it does, it'll just be a temporary block.

Perhaps you should block them from posting until a mod comes on instead of blocking them from the forum?

scimonster · 2012-04-14 14:33:53

Glad to see this has been implemented. Since it's still a few days until I get the title and features, do higher ranked reports show higher on the report list for mods?
Also, did you turn on the thing where reports containing "*" are ranked higher?

Wait, what if a bunch of people are reporting a topic to be moved? Or if an old topic in Misc. needs to be re-opened, and a lot of people want it to show up? The person would be banned for no reason.

Oh, okay!

I just have a fear of being banned, even temporarily. 0_0''

Your not alone.

The thing is, if someone does abuse the system, they could ban all the ST members. That would be REALLY bad.

Yeah. If all of the ST are banned.... Oh wow, nobody could un-ban them.
CATACALYSM.
RAIN OF DEATH.
APOCALYPSE OF SCRATCH.
And it would be dead, with spammers and trolling everywhere.
Oh wow.
Thanks for giving me nightmares.

What happens if someone gets 3 friends and reports every post they find by a user. Then the account will get suspended and they can't be on scratch for a while. sad

Well, if he can un ban him self, then he will un ban everyone else. He is not just going to give out the code.

He can obviously change the website code. Lots of Scratchers could do stuff like that if we had the ability to edit the website.

scimonster · 2012-04-15 05:09:41

Users get a temporary ban for 12 hours, so don't worry too much. And about the code for banning, it's some SQL query against the database, which only the ST has access to.

and, with all the amazing mods and ST members we have, the user(s) abusing it would probably be banned or at least warned first
