Psst. Wanna know a secret?

Post by Drouge »

It's called the report button!

OMG GREATEST SECRET EVAR!


But seriously. I've seen like 6 topics just today with people who keep saying "Oh, lock this" or "Oh, this is off topic!"
This is one. http://www.chao.hippotank.com/forum/vie ... 11&t=13974
And this one. (Well, until I removed those posts) http://www.chao.hippotank.com/forum/vie ... 11&t=13930
That's why we have the report button.

And while I'm on the subject of reports I'd like to say this. When you report, DO NOT SAY YOU'VE REPORTED. That's pretty much spamming.

Oh, and for those people who think spamming is only random letters or advertising, it's also anything off-topic, or even trying to Moderate yourself.

Which brings me back to the original point. Report button. Use it.



P.S: Signatures, change them. Remember the rules.

Gondi I've seen you do it.

To those of you who think telling people that a topic has something wrong with it will help the moderators notice you more, you're wrong, well, you're right, but if you do this to get noticed it will not have a very positive effect. Check out this topic: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=338 He tells you that that's how you get noticed as moderator material.

From this point on, anyone who posts things like, "this topic/post has been reported" or anything around those lines will be given a verbal warning. If you are caught doing it again, you will be issued a warning. We've told you many times that it is not necessary to post such comments.

Just make the report and leave the topic. It's that simple.

The same goes for spam topics and/or topics you know will obviously be locked or deleted soon. Please do not post in such topics.

Just make the report and leave the topic. It's that simple.
Without change, there can be no progress.

Ok true, BUT many people use cap on the entire post and Mods don't do anything. Also, I've seen religious topics and there's almost always flamewars and they're still there, it never gets locked >.> Anyways, I don't like to overuse the "report" button so much. I prefer to post that a topic is in the wrong place than to report. To me, it seems it would be a hassle to Mods to see so many reports in one day about tiny things like all caps -_-'

We aren't always able to take care of the reports right away. When I check them, there usually aren't any anyway. I've noticed that in flame war topics, if two people have flamed each other, neither of them will make a report, because they don't want to face the consequences. To play it safe, place the report as soon as you see such topics or posts and we will take care of it as soon as possible. Don't worry about the number of reports you make. There is such a thing as abusing the report button, but if you know what you're doing, then you have nothing to worry about. As moderators, it's our job to take care of the reports, no matter how many there may be. So, we'll get to your report(s) sooner or later. ;)

Psh, I thought that the cake was a lie, but that's no secret. Anyway, if I've already posted in this topic, I appologize, but I think that you should be allowed to say "OMGREPORTREPORTREPORT" after you report someone, or even before for that matter

No, it's just spam. It bumps up your post count for no reason other than for, what is essentially, Mini-Modding.

If everyone were to do that, Chao Island would become Spam Island. That not even attractive! The only attraction I can see is spammers taking a vacation
