About forum reporting lately...

Recently we've been spammed with forum reports that are honestly just plain stupid and not even report-worthy. It's been happening for a while but I've decided to speak about it now because this morning I woke up to a whole page of reports made by the same guy and it's just full of messages from the same user. I won't expose who it was but it doesn't really matter because it's being done by several people and it's gotta stop.

The purpose of the report feature is to make it easier for the mod team to find and possibly sanction people who break the rules. However people are reporting others simply because something is said that they don't like (eg "this guy steals tracks" or "this guy is annoying". Reporting messages like is honestly childish and immature. Also, light swears are allowed so please don't report message that contain the word "shit" or whatever (obviously excessive use and slurs need to be reported but most cases I've seen are mild).

Another problem is the mass reporting. We already get the idea after one message, we don't need another 20 to clear if we're only gonna do one action.

I think the problem is that people on the forum only care for themselves and wanna censor anything they don't like, well in life people are always gonna say stuff like that and there's nothing you can do about it. Rather than crashing out/losing your shit over minor things, try building some resilience or just correct your behaviour.


I'm going to consider sanctions for people who falsely report from now on. I don't wanna wake up to a 7 yo getting salty over an internet message anymore.

Btw there's a game attached to the site I reckon y'all should spend a bit more time there

I fully agree!

I'm tired of immature forum kids mass reporting a message that doesn't break any rule just because they disagree with the message's content, or because they don't like the person who posted it

Be better, stop it kids!

A feature that could possibly help is if a message already got reported, it can't be reported by any members again.

If anyone tries to report it, a pop-up would say "This post has already been reported."

This could prevent mass reporting from every forum kids that see the same offensive message.

This isn't really a problem since multiple people reporting the same message is still considered 1 report, it'll just show a list of people who reported it instead. I actually find this quite helpful because if I see multiple people report it, more likely than not it's actually something against the rules. Also if I see multiple names and one of them is credible it makes the job a bit easier since I don't always need to look for context, whereas if we stop multiple people reporting there's a chance that someone who cries wolf gets the first report and we just accidentally leave it.


Unrelated but another thing I should mention is that people shouldn't report things from like a year ago too, I saw that this morning.
