Some tips for the report function

[mrmyk]

okay, in forum games today i was browsing and see a ton of spam topics..i put on my reporting cap and get started as there was about 5 to do. I start reporting and instantly come into problems:

 

1) There is flood control on reporting..Kinda annoying so if possible can you remove it :P

 

2) After you have reported you can click back to the topic you were on but you cannot click back to the forum you were on unlike after you have posted :)

The flood control on reporting is probably there to stop report spammers. Who report topics that aren't really violating the rules, and will give a few spare seconds for a mod to deal with it. Though I don't know. It just seems like a bad idea to remove flood control from anything. :uhh:

 

 

 

Yes, I do agree though, on your second suggestion. I would love to be able to go back onto the forum. Though this probably won't be done, since its a small feature that will be bumped to the near bottom of the list of things to do, since I'm sure many more important things are present. When I mean it won't be done, I mean not on these boards, but on phpbb3...

 

 

 

Don't take my word for any of it though. :-#

When reporting multiple posts or threads by the same person, you really only need to report one of them. You can just say in the comment box, "There are 5 other threads by this person in the same forum that are also spam." Or when dealing with posts, lets say you see three spammy posts in a row. Report the top one, then in the comment box say something like, "The two posts below this one are also spam."

 

 

 

A much better way to solve this, I think :) It's less work for you and less work for Albosky, hehe. And I'm sure that the flood control could come in handy for us at some point, if a spammer comes along and wants to bug us :P
