Running With Scissors Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I think the should be a sticky topic here where users can post links to spam threads or threads that are against the rules so mods can delete them. Such as this one http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry722642 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101305-bad-threads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 There already is such a thing. After every post there is a "Report" button on the bottom left of the post (accross from the "Quote" and "Reply" buttons). Someone had to point it out ot me, too.

djet Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I still think having this would be nice so that both the poster and the reporter could discuss the reasons for reporting, instead of putting that all in the hands of the mods.

Deleted Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 When you report the post you are given the chance to give your views as to why it should be reported. It then gets discussed behind the scenes in the mod/admin forum. This saves the reporter from defending themselves while giving the staff a chance to discuss the subject. Having the discussion behind closed doors gives the staff a chance for reflection and perhaps even a chance to change things. If there are any questions the staff can always PM the person(s) that reported the post. Edit; Almost forgot, by also separating the reporter and the poster/offender it saves any possible repercussions or animosity for the report.
