We encourage using the report button so that people don't backseat moderate and make useless posts.

Ok, Joey, gonna be honest: your post looks so robotic.

Now past the remark, I remember when you guys would edit into a reported post with the edit message being "the reported post has been dealt with." I think this would show that you guys are at least taking action on posts instead of us leaving to guess whether or not a post that has blatantly broken the rules has been dealt with. Many of us WANT to know if there is action taken so we know that the moderators are doing their job efficiently.
Closing note: When we ask/want to know if a specific post has been dealt with, we are not trying to butt into business we don't belong in; we want to be assured our staff team is doing their job.

In fairness, whenever something gets reported nowadays, the post either gets locked or disappears entirely. So it's not like they aren't
doing their job.

In this situation the post I reported was completely off topic and the report was immediately closed with no action taken. The job wasn't done.

Well what post was that anyway?

And what proof do you have that says that nobody did anything about it?

aero · Postby **aero** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 10:31 pm

I reported it, it immediately got closed, I went right to the "Who is online" tab and no PMs were being sent/posts in the thread/anything done about it. ZM eventually went in though independent of the report and settled it but Mivixion did nothing.

Staff members have no obligation to immediately send a PM after closing a report.

It wasn't. I just gave a simple answer because that's what it is; using the report button internalizes potential backseat moderating/useless posting. The post I made before that was more robotic.

Wow, we have a total of 4205 users on this forum.
Also Joey, why do the "registered users" pages don't work whenever I open it?

Zeldamaster12 · Postby **Zeldamaster12** » Sun May 01, 2016 10:01 am

To be fair, AeroMatter, the report must've already been closed by the time I saw that post because I handled it without seeing a report.

I think that's a bug in the forum software, unfortunately.

There's some phantom posts or something in the wiki thread?

Postby **Yoshi021** » Sun May 01, 2016 6:28 pm

This shows it was by user lightman and it was a a copy/paste from this

I doubt thats a user. Looks more like a bot who does that

Why is this http://www.smbxgame.com/forums/v ... 69#p216969 in the levels section when it's actually a episode

I moved it, however you could have just reported it as "wrong forum"

I think either Valtteri or I had to raise it a while ago for some reason. It's not like it's a problem with automated accounts spamming PMs, so I'm okay with just telling people not to do it instead of enforcing restrictions on the PM system.

Um.... Lord Joey? I can't delete my post. It's in general. And i forgot that i already posted it in sandbox. Can you delete it for me?
