[top]Introduction
The post report function is one of the most important tools we use here at Drugs-forum. As this board has touchy subjects and is run with some strict guidelines it is truly priceless. A function like this really keeps the forum alive and running smoothly.
[top]Why report posts:
- To help this board stay in place and running.
- To dissuade illegal activity from going on.
- To keep others safe as well as yourself.
- To keep the spam off the board.
- To keep the signal to noise ratio down
- To reduce the workload of the staff.
Reporting posts is one of the quickest ways possible to get a moderator or administrators needed attention to a thread or post. This is why it is important that our members do their part by using this function. Posts should be reported for any rule violation. If your in question about it, report it anyway. We would rather go take the minute to go check something out than have someone potentially injured, killed or incarcerated.
The staff can see a top 5 of users that help out the most, by reporting posts
[top]Some reasons to report posts:
- Harassment
- Flaming
- Suicidal posts or intentions
- Bad advice, dangerous advice
- Trolling
- Spam (Advertising)
- Members trying to acquire personal information
- Soliciting illegal substances
- Commercial Links
Those are just a few but also some of the most important.
[top]How to report a post:
Reporting a post is quite easy. On the top right hand corner of every post there will be a red and white triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. This is the report post button. You will see this on every post other than your own.
It will load a page that has this module.
Fill in the box with the best explanation of what is wrong with the post. When you are finished simply click on "Send Report".
We strongly suggest that every member takes second of their time to report posts. It is not only for our benefit but for yours as well.
