Wrong Instructions of Post Reporting

[Zelda.Alex]

when i use the report post button the instructions for its use are

Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

But it can be used for other purposes too so there is problem in wording.

Like what?

 

[Zelda.Alex]

Like we can request threads to be moved.

I don't know why that note is there, cause what about double-posts, and other things that breaks the rules?

 

[Zelda.Alex]

That's what i am saying. The sentence needs to be re framed.

I do believe all those things fall into the 'problematic' category. In the end, I don't think it really matters, because the only people who use it know what they're doing ... I hope

I think the two words problematic posts cover anything you would need to use the report post button for, so I think its fine as it is.

 

[Zelda.Alex]

I know it is no major problem but thought to tell about it.
But newbies may have problem due to the instructions.

If you need a thread moved, it's usually best to just send a VM/PM to the moderator(s) who run that section. Reporting a post has that big red text because of people using it incorrectly in the past, I believe.

Zelda.Alex, newbies dont read the rules so it shouldn't be a problem. Not too much of a problem anyway

 

[Elenai]

As the reported post moderator, I hereby decree that 'thread move', and etc, now fall under 'problematic' since it then becomes a problem. (as Ike Ike stated)

Case dismissed

Perhaps if anything was to be done, we could add an "ect." at the end of "(harassment, fighting, or rude)". Right now it sates that those are the only problematic posts.

 

[Zelda.Alex]

If you moderators think no problem then tag it as solved

 

[Rui]

I think there is no problem. You see, those words are just for really silly people who would use it to comment on the post rather than reporting a violation of the rules.
Aside from that, you can use it to request your thread to be moved or closed, but I'd use visitor or private messages instead.
