shockz Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Yet another reason to disable post-count. Is there ANY good reason to keep the post-count viewable? Well it does encourage posting... and thats always a good thing... the only problem is what people post to get their numbers up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Well it does encourage posting... and thats always a good thing... the only problem is what people post to get their numbers up. Hence my repeated suggestion of postcount locking ALL of General Discussion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted May 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2006 It's been discussed many times before. Some members like to have post count and like seeing it to be high. However, we have rules and we can warn for useless posts where the post doesn't help the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr8t Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Ok. Its great that people are using the report function more and more... it helps a ton.. :) But when reporting somebody... don't post that you reported them. I mean seriously... think about it in the real world... are you going to walk up to somebody stealing a car and say... oh btw... I called the cops on you. You'd probably get shot. Common sense people... report the post and be done with it... don't dwell on it. We will take care of the rest. Telling somebody you reported their posts leads to flames, arguments, and more rule breakage Thanks shockz Hahahaha.. good to hear the mods feel the same way about seemingly common sense issues such as this. :rofl: in regards to the whole "post count" thing. If a place/person promotes such a mindset, they may accomplish their goal, but they also attract "looky at me i'm l33tz, and i've got more seniority/respectability than you cuz i've got a higher post count, etc..." out of the wood work and such non-sense behavior.

Orange Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Very sad people who go around saying "reported".. how dumb can you get. I would say 40% reported threads were just because some one said a word which they hate or something... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I see why this was pinned - never seen it before.

Dearster Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Didn't even realise the report feature existed, i've been PM moderators etc to report posts, sorry to any mods who had me PM them reporting things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockz Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yep, plus it is generally quite a pathetic thing to go round letting people know you have reported them. Lets drop that converstation before I warn you for trolling. I have the back story on the bickering that you are exchanging via PM and if it doesn't stop restrictions will go out.

Yorak Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I remember that it annoyed the hell out of me when people did it. But one time when I first joined, somebody posted Reported and people complained, and a mod came in and said it was actually good to do that so people would know. I'm not sure which mod, but it was a higher up one... So don't contradict yourself. Make a general rule. Yes or no to putting Reported after you report. I won't do it anymore regardless (I think I've done it...2-3 times total, mostly for 1-post wonders). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p858snake Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Is it possible to report too much? because I remember getting a pm once after i reported a whole bunch of threads where a member was spamming in GD. -Peachey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Is it possible to report too much? Only if you start reporting things that aren't breaking the rules. because I remember getting a pm once after i reported a whole bunch of threads where a member was spamming in GD. A spammer doesn't need to be reported more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted May 19, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 19, 2007 When u say breaking rules, do you mean the rules + what i/we think is wrong or strictly rules and if not then someone comes and kills my dog :p lol i have started using the report button alot... :shiftyninja: not saying which threads tho ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 :laugh: I remember on some other forum, a moron (seriously, he was an idiot) was reported, told he was reported, and he exploded. He started swearing and going really personal, a thing that eventually got him perm. banned. In his case, that was the best case for everyone, so there is some good in telling them they were reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
