Have you ever reported someone?

[GodofDisaster]

I only report when I need to.

Like trolls, vs threads, adverts you know the bad stuff.

Although I've never once made a private report to a mod about someone, never had a reason to.

 

[Proteus214]

Usually anything blatantly against posting guidelines. At least once a day.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Congratulations on 2000 posts by the way.

I just wanted to say that.

He just hit 2000?

*Checks*

-Snip-

Congratulations man, You just went Double Gonzo.

I report quite a lot. The downside is that I end up reporting some good posts by accident. My mouse is slippery, I swear...

 

[kaziard]

Also, reporting me for making the thread isn't being ironic, it's being a dick.

godammit it was hard not to press it after you said that.
mostly i only report someone if they piss me off (i.e piss me off whilst breaking the rules not im im having an argument with them)

 

[Liberaliter]

When it is needed, it means this place can stay a good community.

 

[Sassafrass]

Anything that is obvious flame-bait and that's it, really. Apart from the trolls but it's easier to PM a Mod about those.

I wonder if I've ever been reported?

And now you've made me wonder that as well. I probably have been a couple of times I think.
I did tend to get a little aggressive at the start of the year.

As said above, it takes two reports to end up in the queue, so no worries. =D

I report only for blatant trolling and things of that nature.
Admittedly, I don't report very often.

 

[Neonbob]

I have reported many people.
All of them deserved mod attention, though. I don't push it on a whim.
I've also PM'd mods several times when it seemed like reports just weren't doing it.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

I've only just realized where the button is.

:S

 

[Caiti Voltaire]

They do. You just have to click the persons name, and a little menu comes up, wherein you can choose to ignore them.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

Just the more obnoxious posts that I feel ruin our community

 

[Xan Krieger]

Trolls, racists, homophobes and advertisers (especially ones from Ansblog) are what I report.

homophobic

By homophobic do you mean people who just use the word fag or do you mean people who are against things like gays adoptiing kids and gay marrige? If it's the former, I agree, if it's the latter you're just reporting people because you disagree with them.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Yup, whenever people advocate engaging in video-game piracy as a response to annoying DRM, instead of the far more sensible "Don't buy it then" response, or even "Buy it, and then crack it", which, while against the terms of service, is not stealing (since you paid for it) and does not give the morons making these decisions more ammunition to keep screaming about piracy rates as you have not downloaded an illegal copy of the game (just some modified files that are useless on their own).

Seriously, don't pirate games, and if you're going to, don't post here to tell us you're going to pirate them, and certainly don't encourage others to follow your bad example.

 

[jim_doki]

I report when I need to. It's important to do. Only you can keep our escapist clean

 

[HentMas]

as "reporting" only makes the mods check that post, i report for a number of reasons, among them being anoyed by the guy writing something, or someone disagreing with me (or what i think)

but it just makes the good guys look at the post, if its a bad post they take action, if not they let it pass, i report whenever i want, the mods said so themselves in another post, "if you are not sure you should report, do it, it only makes us check if its offensive or falls out of the rules" (or something like that)

being reported only makes the mods check, nothing more, so dont be afraid to report.

Ah, yes, this Internet is full of traps, no?

Trolls, racists, homophobes and advertisers (especially ones from Ansblog) are what I report.

I ignore personal insults, because they aren't directed at me, and if they were I'd still ignore them, unless they were trollish, racist, homophobic or advertising something of course.

Trolls, racists, and homophobes are all subjective. Even in an obvious case, it's still just an opinion. I know the rules might say otherwise, but I don't feel right censoring someone else's opinion. Not that I'm saying you're wrong to do so, that's just me personally.

the Escapist isn't a festering bog of retardation like the rest of the net.

*barely restrained laughter* sorry I can't say that with a straight face...

Anyway, I've been known to use the Report button if I've felt it was necessary; although I've begun to wonder if it actually does anything.

Are there some swamps around these parts I've been lucky enough to miss? I know well enough not to go near Israel.

Um...not too often. I never report people who call me names etc. I find that rather amusing and just part of how things go. I have reported blatant racism on here. Other than that...i live by the code of "im a big boy and i can take it...reporting is for sissys". Thats me though.

User was put on probation for: The (un)official Flash Escapist Flash Awards! (presented by Calumon) PLANNING PHASE!. (3 days)

The irony and hypocrisy. It burns.

I always like to see what posts people got in trouble for, both so I know what not to do, and because sometimes its the most interesting thing on the thread. It's actually how I got the idea for this one. But I have to agree with xmetatronx here. Calumon annoys the shit out of me and a few other people apparently. It'd be another thing if it was a cool familiar, like a pyromaniac leprechaun.

 

[Jark212]

Yes, during the great troll invasion of the new year...

I still do when there's a obvious troll...

Spoiler

 

['Aredor]

I actually signed up to report someone: the guy had the Nazi-Reichsadler, complete with swastika, as his avatar. Strangely enough, he didn't incur any mod-wrath for that. But as I've just found out, he sure enough was perma-banned about a month ago.

homophobic

By homophobic do you mean people who just use the word fag or do you mean people who are against things like gays adoptiing kids and gay marrige? If it's the former, I agree, if it's the latter you're just reporting people because you disagree with them.

I mean people like the former.

I understand the latter if they lay out their opinion and try to be unprovocative.

I also mean actual, full-on, self-admitting homophobes, not just people who use homophobic language.

I remember one person who called gays an "abomination", and was surprised they were only suspended, since they also went on to laugh at the fact the state of Maine banned gay partnerships, for which they were again suspended.

I don't think they came back, but I despise people like that.
