Used the report function for the first time ever

[Atlantico]

The reply was by a mod who didn't identify himself; denied and the message: "just stop".

I reminded me of the movie Alphaville, where the main character walks up to a vending machine, puts some money into it and presses a button, a note drops from the vending machine that says: "MERCI".

The poster I reported was just spamming.

 

[Bocian]

That's what you get for snitching.

 

[buru5]

Reported OP for snitching

 

[Atlantico]

That's what you get for snitching.

IKR, I'm just glad I didn't wake up with insect limbs.

 

[Valky]

Snitches get stiches

 

[Roguey]

Was it spamming as defined by the official rules thread?

 

[King Crispy]

Tell me who the person you reported this to is, tell me who the person you were reporting is, and tell me what exactly it was that prompted you to report the second person to the first person in the first place.

Failure to comply will result in permanent ban.

From a certain point of view

Failure to comply will result in permanent ban.

IDK who received my report of Mynon, but it was the reply "just stop" that got me. As if this was something I was doing regularly.

 

[Severian Silk]

Most of the Internet appears to have reported Mynon. Maybe that's why they want you to stop?

 

[King Crispy]

my report of Mynon

Just stop.

 

[Scruffy]

that was me

the "just stop" wasn't directly for you, i meant, everyone, just stop reporting that retard for stupid bullshit. I know he's a piece of shit but there seems to be a budding trend of "let's report mynon for stupid shit" and i am hoping to nip it in the bud.

 

[Leechmonger]

I put Mynon on ignore after his first few posts, figuring he'd run out of steam after a few days and reading his shit wasn't worth the annoyance. Little did I know how brightly the flame of shitposting burned in his heart. I wonder if if I missed out...

[Atlantico]

people are afraid to be marked as snowflakes for putting others on ignore list so they are reporting instead? nice...

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Uncanny.

I can think of a quick solution that would solve this problem very easily..

Yeah, this is some goonery right here.

(atm SA is having a problem where all the right-wingers are getting mass reported just for expressing right wing views)

 

[Atlantico]

Yeah, this is some goonery right here.

Not really, it's just that spam is annoying, and against the rules and if it's not reported, mods may never see it.

Nobody is being reported for their opinions (at least not on my part)

The Hillary-mod disagrees.

 

[Atlantico]

The Hillary-mod disagrees.

The fact that Mynon is unpopular amongst the proletariat and the fact that Mynon has poor posting etiquette are two distinct issues entirely.

If a mod wants to read any political intent into reporting on form, that's not my concern, that's just a bad interpretation. The fact is no mod can oversee anything without getting reports from users on a forum the size of this one, so getting reports every now and then is part of the program. Whether the mods do something about said reporting, is not my concern,... but I don't expect them to whine.

 

[Tacgnol]

Politics isn't the issue (directly anyway).

Mynon may not have posted the original thread in GamerGhazi, but he was stirring things up over there the whole time. When Infinitron moved the thread to GD, Mynon was the one screeching on reddit about mods here trying to "cover it up".

So yeah, he didn't start obsidiangate, but he was actively contributing to the attacks.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Do you, by any chance, take a look at dog poops on the streets when you walk outside?
Because I don't.
Same apply to his lettered vomits called "posts".

 

[Lazing Dirk]

I used the report function once.

On myself.

It was fine.

your report was about him writing "i rate this post "parrot"" or something like that
it was a retarded post, but i don't see how it's spam


just stop

an Administrator is there a way to get a list of people who lets say... filed 5+ reports?

Even though i am an Administrator myself, i have filled way over 5 reports
