new reporting system

Post by sine nomine » Mon May 30, 2005 1:38 am

in some ways, it's not aas slick as the old one (you have to put the post topic/link in yourself so we can find it) and in some ways it's more advanced (you can pick categories).

to report a post, find the "write report" link in the top menu (where faq and search and profile are). in some themes, it's a bit awkwardly placed right now. Fill out the report form and send it -- it will go to the admins and the mods for that forum, and you'll be told it was sent.

mods, your link says "# new reports". when you click on it, you get a list of reports in your forum. if they are kind of reddish, they're active; green means someone has seen them and dealt with them.

i think this will work out well for us. i at least want to give it a try.

OH MY GOD!!!
deb, this is AWESOME. I think that this will work a lot better for the mods and admins than the old system did.
I am really excited about this :D
thanks SO very much.

Sorry to nitpick, but you could put an "Other" option there... just incase there is something that doesn't fit into those categories that quite clearly does not belong?

Thanks.

I'm using Diddle, and I can't see where I'm supposed to write the report.
trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters,
but it's a lot harder than it looks because even though
they had the same size feet as us, they weren't looking
down the whole time while they walked to make sure
they were doing it right.

Just switched to Diddle- it's right next to the logout button at the top.

That's what I have. The little _ will log me out.

Oh, you're a moderator... that explains it.

I have no idea then. Sorry. :(

there's now an "other" entry.

yeah, the placement isn't as convenient, but it's going to make life a lot easier for the mods.
