Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted December 8, 2014 I've had a few users try to contact me directly through personal messages about spammers or simply post in a thread about them. This doesn't work very well and means it takes longer for me to realize there is a problem. The way the moderating system is set up, if you use the report option, all the moderators get a bright red warning with links to the thread and user that needs moderation and a description of why. If you message me individually, it looks like every other ordinary message. If you post about the spammers in a thread, I get no warning at all. So please, please, please, please use the report button in the lower right hand part of the post. Also, don't assume somebody else has already reported the problem correctly and wait for it to go away! In that last batch of 50 magic spams, I had absolutely no regular reports, just one person contacting by private message and a few wall posts. I didn't see those until much too late. Also, this advice goes for any sort of problem. Weird or suspicious posts? Use the reporting system. Want a mod to delete your accidental double post? Use the reporting system. It lets all the moderators know there is something that should be done all at once. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tengaku squared 291 Report post Posted December 8, 2014 I seem to be unable to see the report button. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Demon 466 Report post Posted December 8, 2014 I seem to be unable to see the report button. That's... odd. It's right next to the edit button (or multiquote if it's not your post) so we can rule out the possibility that you missed it. Can you screenshot?

tengaku squared 291 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 I may be missing something here, but I genuinely can't find it. Basically every other post looks the same, without the edit option, btw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 That sounds like a bug. Hmm. What are you using as a browser? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Demon 466 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Can you try signing out and return to a topic to see if the report button is there? My theory is that it is some kind of bug "exclusive" to the Donators group. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelloLily 5 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Your theory could be correct, because I don't have the report function as well. I'm glad someone else had the same problem, because I was feeling stupid that I could not find it. Image link to what I see: Here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirsch 95 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 It's database error. He could probably be overloading the site/server or something... this is pretty bad, if that's true. How? Spam filter would've caught anything that was long enough to do that, so it'd have to be computer magic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metantei Kiddo 147 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 How? Spam filter would've caught anything that was long enough to do that, so it'd have to be computer magic? What I mean by site overloading is having multiple computer visiting the site at once. There are really various ways to do that... Honestly, That's what the Anonymous Group (If you know them) does.

They hacked PSN, right? Haha thats all I know - I've seen lots of spam threads lately. I reported them the first time they came around but later it was just so much that I crossed my fingers and hoped they would be taken care of. I guess I'll continue reporting anything wrong.
