Also, a separate subforum would be easier to archive later on.

You are suggesting archiving a subforum as an alternative to locking a thread or letting it die until the year after. Take a step back and re-read the part where you said anything but this time taking into account how much of a waste of time your idea is because of reasons other people previously pointed out.

Wow, that was really unnecessary.

So now that that circlejerk is settled, how about that SMB2/SMW theme idea?

Coke turns your kidneys to goo. Drink Pepsi

...And Pepsi doesn't?

Can we get back on topic here? I think this is a good idea.

lmao where the fuck did you hear that. I'm sure alcohol is a lot worse on your kidneys than coke is.

Minutes and hours to be specific.

Can we please have a little adjustment to the premade report reasons? Right now I always have to use the "doesn't fit into any other category" thing on spambots because they're usually not posting illegal stuff, they just advertise. We could just change the line from "contains mature or illegal content" to "the reported message was made by a spambot, or it contains illegal content".

Also, "not following posting habits" could be split further into "double-posting", "bumping" and "being off-topic".

PixelPest · Postby **PixelPest** » Wed Oct 19, 2016 6:49 am

Why do things need to be split up and specified? The GMods and Admins know how to do their jobs

Cedur · Postby **Cedur** » Wed Oct 19, 2016 6:51 am

It's not about that oc.

It's about just making things more convenient for the people reporting, so they have to use the explanation field less often. It's a minor thing but it still makes sense

PixelPest · Postby **PixelPest** » Wed Oct 19, 2016 6:54 am

As I was saying though, you can just not use the explanation field and the people dealing with it would be able to still figure out the issue. This is another one of your suggestions that seems pointless because it would be more work that's just not really needed imo

Cedur · Postby **Cedur** » Wed Oct 19, 2016 7:11 am

Putting "this doesn't fit in any category" and then leaving the explanation blank is not how reporting works. You're always supposed to state what's off with the post / how it breaks rules even if it's trivial.

Also I don't think that modifying the premade reasons would require much coding effort.

PixelPest · Postby **PixelPest** » Wed Oct 19, 2016 7:27 am

Why put that it doesn't fit into any category? The second one specifically says: "The reported message does not follow common posting habits, including (but not limited to) bumping a topic, double posting, or posting with bad English." That pretty much encompasses everything you were talking about

I don't believe anyone's ever said this.

Technically, we don't even need report reasons - the post can just be reported, then the staff can look at it to see if it violates any rules and then handle it from there. At any rate, though, the report reasons are fine as they are.

That's how I always handled it, and that's also what I was getting from Darkmatt's explanation of reporting in the Rules thread (which is gone for some reason).

Nvm then.
