Before you click the 'report' button, please consider the following:

- Are you reporting the post because you don't like what the person said? Don't use the report button.
- Are you reporting the post because you don't like the person? Don't use the report button.
- Are you reporting the post because you don't agree with what a person said? Don't use the report button.
- Are you reporting the post because you think the person is trolling?

First, be sure that you know what a "troll" is: Someone that deliberately posts material with the intent to stir up the biggest amount of argument/disruption in people's responses. People that fall victim to this have been 'trolled'. Not liking/disagreeing with someone's legitimate opinion is NOT trolling.

If the post is not a legitimate troll, please don't use the report button.


It is a huge waste of the mods time to read reports that are not legitimate. Please use the report button with thought and care. Thank you.

I think this needs to be said, but whenever you report someone you think is trolling please report where they're trolling and not just their profile, it makes it so much easier for us moderators when we know where to look.
I did report the whole profiles if that person is literally shitposting everywhere.

Apologies if it was done wrong :(

But that means we have to go to the trouble of looking back at a selection of their posts. Ain't nobody got time for that! Just report individual posts as and when. We'll notice if the same username keeps cropping up.

Is reporting my kyt threads to have them closed in violation of these guidelines or is my case an exception?
How else are you going to lock the thread? I was lucky to have the power to lock it myself when I was the host of it!

...why's Dodain47 is dividing all his new topics to both User submitted new and General Gaming Discussions seemingly at random?

No hard feelings againts the user, but flooding the General Gaming Discussions area with random Youtube-videos, tidbit news and links to news sites does not feel right. There's zero effort on trying to have any discussion, especially if it's just a link on some other gaming site and small description. The discussion is already on the Kotaku/Destructoid/Youtube/whatever comments section. Here the topics gather a single like or some generic "cool" -response.

I get there are interesting videos and documentaries, I even took note of the GDC documentary for a later watch, but how about one thread for those? Make another topic for random funny tidbit news. Latest patch notes on FF12? Eeehhhh.... If new thread has to be started for everything, could those be at least consistently posted on user submitted news?

Sorry. :unsure:

I don't quite understand, if you get too many reports on this site, can you get banned? I always thought that reports are needed for administrators to check accounts.

No, you won't get banned for reporting posts "too many times" so long as those reports are legitimate, for things that break the rules. So long as the reports are for things that break the rules, you could report a billion things and it'd be fine.
