Do you report posts?

AckwelFoley · 2008-02-05 22:06:16

Just wondering if any of you ever report posts? And if you do, what generally is the reason? I think in my time here i reported a post once. Why? I was having my period and misunderstood the context of what was said. I'd imagine some ppl are serial post reporters, do you feel moderators wont see a questionable post or what?

Ah ok.. 6 in 2 years would make me a serial "reporter"

You think? I wouldn't say so myself.

Although the definition of a serial killer is one who has murdered over 3 people.

Got banned because someone reported a post where I called Bertie Ahern a "twat". The mod banned me and, when i questioned it via pm he told me I was reported and he banned it without reading the thread. When i questioned that, he said it was "personal abuse". He said to pm him in a week to get back, but needless to say I didn't bother my h@le. I have better things to be at than pleading for clemency from coniving posters with a FF fetish and mods who ban people over such an innoculous comment, appently without reading it.
So no, I don't report posts as too many people make a pastime out of trying to get people into sh1t with mods and if i don't think a comment is worth debating or commenting on, I ignore it.

...just reported!

I occasionally report posts, usually if it strikes me as OTT or just plain retarded. Particularly in PI though.

Reporting posts for anything bar illegal sh1t is embarrasing.

I was tempted to report two posters on Politics for lying lately, but in the end I couldnt be arsed.

I might go back to it if I see more of the same.

When a mod asks you to PM them in a week, they are just asking you to remind them to lift the ban. They are not asking you to beg for anything.
We ban a lot of people and tend to forget who was banned and when they were banned.

I contend that the banning was completely in the wrong and, therefore, would not participate on a board with such draconian mods and lickspittle posters. Just my take on it.

Click the multi-quote button (between the quote button and the quick reply button).
When you have clicked on all the posts you want to quote, click on the post reply button (bottom of the last post on the page/thread). This will open the full reply option and then you can reply to each quote individually.

I hope I explained that clearly.

The report post button is this one.
If you want to report a post, just click it, give a brief explanation of why you are reporting the post and then hit submit.
I get notifications immediately and deal with them ASAP.
There is usually always an AH mod on-line to deal with reported posts.

Thanks for that Terry -

And what's worse is when people assume everyone talks about Dublin.

"Is there a cinema in Dundrum?". Where, Co. Dublin or Co. Tipperary?
Blackrock is in Cork as well as Dublin.
I'm buying a house in Kildare, what's the commute like?- unwritten assumptions that everyone commutes to Dublin.
I was on boards quite a while before I knew where "Blanch" was.

Yep, I report posts sometimes, mainly just the spam Nokia posts though.
Any reports are usually dealt with swiftly by the mods, fair play

Pighead always posts the 45th reply in any given thread. Some may say this is a bit of a haphazard way of weeding out the idiots but if you put down "being a spanner" as the reason for the reported post it usually fits the bill.
