Don't use the report button!

Apparently that button is only for use by preferred board members?

Pdub: I told you to stop abusing the report button.
If you continue to do so, you'll be banned for a while so you can figure out when to use it and when not to.

Illy: When and where did you tell me that?

And how is it abuse? I've been reporting the off topic posts so that you can maybe stop allowing people to do nothing but bully others and shit talk. Isn't that what the button is for? 

There's a handful of people who do almost nothing but talk shit. That's what the button is for. That's also what moderators are for. 

Instead of me engaging in endless back and forth trying to defend myself I was hoping you would do your part to deter that kind of behavior....figured that's what the report button was for. Why even have it if you don't want people to use it?



Maybe others will find this useful. Figured I'd share.

PhD would say you seem to be more tolerant of inappropriate pictures than you are of me reporting the posts that are needless shit talking.

What a weird thing to have available if you don't like it when it's used....oh well. Seems only certain people have to follow the rules.

Reported.

Don't worry. You could do it 500,000 times, on posts that aren't even breaking a rule, and you'd never get rude and condescending PMs from moderators on a power trip to attempt to put you in your place....after a warning that never happened. LULZ.

Benefits of being an alum I suppose!

My mistake - I had sent a PM earlier about it but apparently it didn't go through to you.
I'm looking in the boards logs and don't see it - so that's my bad.
But you've reported 15-20 posts in the last few days that aren't worth reporting - you're just reporting anything that isn't exactly on topic - even reporting posts on off topic and sattelite bored.

I didn't know whether to PM you or post it here since you just immediately went here.
I don't want to get into some sort of attention fight - just stop spamming the report button.

There's a "Report" button?!

Cool!

[Deleted User 75]

Every post I've reported has been shit talking or bullying. Totally unnecessary posts that aren't on topic AT ALL.

It's not spamming. You made the rules to the board. It appears you only want to enforce them on the people you don't like.

If you want the back and forth shit talking to stop then you and the mods need to do your part. It's not just on me and a few others to sit back and take it without responding....I was trying to help by hoping you'd deal with it, but that was a bad assumption on my part.

There are about 3-5 people who do nearly nothing but bully and shit talk other posters. I was under the impression that is not what this site was designed for. But I can adjust my behavior accordingly.

Did you guys know you have more bacterial cells in your body than there are human cells.

Never reported a single post.

And as far as I know, no one’s ever reported me.

(Except for that one time I posted a bunch of half donuts in PhD’s game day thread that got me banned from .net)

Whining about not being able to whine.

I love this board.

Like gut bacteria and stuff?

Cuz I just had some killer locally brewed kombucha.

Nobody is really whining.

Seems a lot of people don't enjoy the 2-3 page bitch fests that you (and a few others) seek out from me (and a few others)....so rather than responding to your bullshit posts trying to make fun of me or bully me I used the report button for the last handful of days hoping that PDub or the other mods would say something like "hey, if you're just going to shit talk and bully, why not just put on ignore with the foe button since that's an easy option"...you know....like moderate the site. That way each thread doesn't turn into the same thing.

Plano, go thru your posting history. It's insane how little you ever post anything worthwhile or on topic. It's all bullying, shit talking, trying to start arguments, making fun of people....the history is right there to view. I'm not the only 1 that's noticed it...and frankly it's pathetic.

[Deleted User 62]

At least you took the high road and didn't try to provoke me.

[ousdahl]

Hey illy, why not just put on ignore with the foe button since that's an easy option?

Do you really think people are so stupid that the buy this? It's pretty obvious who provokes who and who seeks out who to start this crap.....

There's a reason it only occurs between select individuals.

Because I can read a Plano post and not respond. I can read posts that I think are stupid without logging in to tell that person how stupid I think they are.

He seems to have issues with EVERY SINGLE post I make that entices him to make a smart ass remark that's off topic and unnecessary in most instances.

Posting history is there for everyone to see. 95% of the time I'm trying to stay on topic and post relevant stuff/opinions. Some may think my opinion is stupid, but I'm usually trying to discuss whatever the topic at hand is.

Hasn't always been that way, but lately I've made the effort to stop engaging in the bullying and senseless arguing.

In an effort to get the mods to notice how frequent the behavior is of certain people I started reporting the posts that are strictly shit talking and off topic BS that's unnecessary. I will continue to do so and they can ban me for all I give a fuck.

Give it a rest already.
