PSA: Don't Report Inappropriate Usernames Of Users On Forum

Postby LevinSnakesRise » Tue Jul 25, 2017 9:36 pm

So after getting 10+ reports about this one user's username, mostly by the same people who apparently don't get the message when we delete the reports, we've decided to make this announcement in hopes this will get the message through.

Please do not report a user's post just because you think their username is inappropriate (or it actually is inappropriate) throughout the forum. While we appreciate you guys want to be so vigilant and help out, at the moment, we cannot do anything about it.

Yes, you read that correctly.

We cannot do anything about users with inappropriate usernames on the forums.

The only time you should be using the report feature is if a user's post violates the forum rules - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=67198

It should not be used to report anything else, including FM rule-breaking, inappropriate usernames, etc.

If we continue to get reports for people's usernames, we will start handing out warnings for abusing the system, as we mention in Rule 7;
7. Spam isn't tolerated on this forum.
Examples of spam include, but are not limited to;
  • Posting multiple times in a row rather than all in one post. Use the Edit button to edit your post if you have additional comments to make.
  • Spamming the use of smilies in your posts. (Please limit to 4 or less.)
  • Abusing the report system for any reason. (This includes, but isn't limited to; Posting gibberish in the reasoning for the report, filing a report after being asked to stop by staff, etc.)



Thanks guys.

Thanks.
