Fevee Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Can we report forum-goers? In these very forums, if someone is being rude, disruptive, or all-out obnoxious, isn't there a way to report that individual? Sure, they're a subscriber and are thus allowed to post here. But if they seem to only desire to be a miscreant, can action not be taken against them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to go into the guy's list of posts and report every single one? Or can I report the user, himself, since every single post he makes seems to be looking for trouble.

MillionsKNives Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Report the offending post and then ignore them if you don't like reading what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fevee Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Report the offending post and then ignore them if you don't like reading what they say. I've tried. Instead of Troll: "Trololololo." I might as well see Troll is still trolololololing. There's not much point. Ignore doesn't block their communications, like SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Just avoid the user and any thread/post they make. Report them if they do something you think is wrong and let the mods handle it. If they deem the user as doing something wrong they will take action, if not oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Or if you are a very vindictive and driven person, you could always just report eveyr rude post they have ever made... I bet that'll get the mods attention (maby not the way you want tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to be able to just report them - especially if they seem to be here to be as distuptive as possible, and nearly every post they make has an insult in it.

Wylf Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Eh, the reason for that is a simple one - if you report nasty posts the Moderator just needs to look at one post to determine if (s)he needs to take action. If you report a user it would require a lot of sifting through posts to figure out why you reported him. Dealing with it on a post by post basis is just easier for the mod-team.

CommunityDroidEU Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Greetings All, To the OP, yes, you certainly can report a post in the forum. Simply flag it for us and we can handle it from there. As for flagging every single post, it isn't completely necessary. Though as Wylf pointed out it can help us better track any posts made. Thanks!
