The new report windows now says:
Hello, please DO NOT report for:
User is wrong
I am offended by User's views or opinions
User is trolling
User is posting a meme or image macro
User has bumped an old thread
User has made a low effort post, or low quality post
User is making a post about something that has already been discussed
So... what exactly are we allowed to report? And how are mods supposed to find out about people shitposting and doing other stupid garbage?
User is trolling
User is posting a meme or image macro
User has bumped an old thread
what
Image macro's make the entire forum shit, and if they're bumping threads unneededly without content that obviously deserves a ban.
Trolling is case by case, but some people are obviously fucking around
Yeah this is weird vs our stance atm which is:
report sensibly, we'll sort the bodies.
I'm racking my brain trying to think of a ban reason that this doesn't disallow. Doesn't this kind of invalidate the report feature's existence at all? I'm looking through the bans from the past week and nearly every single one of those bans was for a reason that you aren't allowed to report for.
For real too, the 'do not report' list basically says 'do not report for anything, ever, outside of spamming'
Looks like we can only report spam and nothing else
And even then, we can't report if it's a necrobump, which a lot of automated spam is.
Does it say this stuff when you try to report a post or is it in the rules somewhere?
I'm late to the party I guess lol. But yeah this doesn't rly align with what we generally like to have reported so we can take care of it.

It's in the new report post menu.
Ah.
Yeah, that's a bit strange. None of that stuff was communicated to us (or at least not to me), so I'm not entirely sure yet.
Will probably have more answers a little later.
Garry doesn't want trolls to be reported, otherwise he would've been banned long ago.
Report spamming and illegal stuff. We're not your school teacher.
Do moderators have to manually check every thread for shitposting then? Without mod action on awful posters, post quality would go way down, especially in SH and Polidicks where people are routinely banned for flaming, trolling and otherwise impeding peoples' ability to hold meaningful conversations
It also seems like you haven't told your moderators about this new policy, either
I mean Garry has said before that he Cates about getting new users more than retaining old users. And the number one cause of a new user leaving is them getting banned....
The moderators shouldn't be using the report feature
Can we get a comprehensive up-to-date rules list then?
This is obviously a massive paradigm shift from OldPunch so it’s hard to tell what is and isn’t reportable and/or considered breaking the rules.
I.E. Am I allowed to troll/post image-macros/necrobump now? Or is trolling bannable, but mods have to manually find it now?
...How else are moderators supposed to find out about bad posts?
You guys only want a rules list so you can catch other people breaking the rules. Why don't you just use your common sense and act accordingly. Same goes for moderators.
Who do you think the reports go to?
That's not true. We like our rules list because it improves quality of conversation. One of the main things I like about FP is that the standards of posting are higher than you find elsewhere, and I think that's a pretty common way to feel about it.
