August 9, 200718 yr 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 :) Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements
August 9, 200718 yr 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. :-#
August 9, 200718 yr 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 - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
