Tips on the APPROPRIATE use of the REPORT POST button...

[JayBell]

The report post button looks like this:

The function of the Report Post button is to let the Admins and Staff know about rules violations, illegal activity, and trolls/trolling posts, and or serious situations that may need our attention.

Every time a Report Post button is hit, a form comes up, where you put in the text as to WHY the post is being reported. Please be concise, so we dont have to guess why you reported it!

When you submit the Reported post, a notification email comes to all of us, in addition to a copy of the post being created as a thread in our Staff/Admin section.

We will have a record to look at, and actions will be taken as needed.

Things that are appropriate to report:
Rules violations
Trolling
Any serious situation that the Staff MUST know about
SPAM (please post under the spam post saying it been reported if you can)

Things that DO NOT need Reporting:
high pricing in Ads
Horrible Spelling and Grammar
Personality malfunctions
interpersonal issues with another poster (unless the rules are being broken)
Retaliatory Reporting of posts
Items of this nature.


Be aware that OVERUSE of the Report post button is a nuisance, and may result in unwanted scrutiny of the Reporting poster by Staff and Admins, so basically, if you THINK its an item to report, measure it against the Rules first, then against NEED to report it second.
