Folks, I've said this repeatedly in several locations, but apparently I have not made this clear enough yet.

So time for step by step guide on how to report spam.

Incorrect: PMing/IMing only Kayhynn.

Why? Because Kayhynn sometimes cannot log in to the forums, especially cannot log in to remove posts with porn in it from work. That would get me fired. Porn = bad. Boss very anti porn.

Correct: Follow these simple instructions.

The Report Button

At the bottom of every post, on the lef, there is a report button. See the two boxes below that are circled in red.



Click the button that's at the bottom of the post that is spam. Once clicked, it will give you an area to explain why you are reporting it.

This then sends a PM and an E-mail to each moderator and forum admin. You have a lot HIGHER probability of one of us getting to it quicker than taking a random stab in the dark and pming whoever you think will get to it faster. In addition to sending us this info, it provides a link directly to the post. So all we have to do is click, instead of lookign through posts trying to find the spam (for those of you that like to tell us, there's spam but don't tell us where, there's a lot of you)

I'm dead serious about this. I received an ungodly amount of PMs and IMs from folks saying "Kay there's porn spam on the forum, fix it" and only two people who took the time to hit report on every thread found so I could easily and quickly move them when I got home.

Please. Hit REPORT any time there's spam. Do not assume someone else has done it. Bad assumption. Do not just PM us with a vague "OMG spam fix plz" PM. That's not helpful.

Thanks for the consideration on this and following through!

You're kidding me. I thought that was obvious, that's the reason I clicked the report button to begin with.

Not everybody knew, which also shouldn't surprise u seeing as how u see new ppl ask the same questions over and over again...


Also, Are these reports anonymous ?

They are not.

thats what i thought...
Well guess i'll keeping IM'ing You Lawl im jk kay i swear! (dont kill meh!)

Interesting.

so can i report ppl this this that only say one word posts? > : )?

Of course you can, thats the whole point of reporting. :]

in that case...
reported






yes im only jk, but i think u get my point now

Actually, not really. :|

I was annoyed that you just did a one word post

& Slightly joking about how out of hand these reports may get

Most people actually use enough common sense to report things that need reporting, not stupidity.

Please also keep in mind some folks have reported others for "flaming and trolling" and in the process of investigating that, we see that the reporting individual is also flaming and trolling.

It's always great to have someone call the mods on themselves.

Sp basically the lesson here is.. Dont snitch

No, it's "Don't be a moron."

does Subliminal know you used him as the test subject to "report" that just made me giggle a little

Yes he does.
