Question regarding the report function.. 

Post#1 » by Guy986 » Wed Aug 11, 2010 7:17 am

Is the report function done anonymously? Meaning if i report a post to the mods for violation of realgm rules, would the mods know which poster reported the post?


I've never used the report function before and i don't ever intend to. I'm just curious.

Report any of my posts to find out. Their all stoopid so it's probably correct to do so.

You can PM a specific mod if you don't want a specific mod to see your report.

No, because if someone is breaking a rule then it's taken care of. Why would a moderator get angry at you for reporting a violation?

What if you report something on two different occasions and mods don't do anything about it?

It means I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh that Rasho! He sure can be a real pill sometimes!" I then e-tussled your hair and sent you off to the sandbox for more youthful mischief.

lol this. Also, you can PM a specific mod for that board and ask for an explanation.

I've never heard of a mod being angry about seeing a post reported.

Also, only moderators of that specific forum can see the reports, so I can't see what posts have been reported and who reported them on, for example, the General Board.

I am happy to see reports. The more reports I handle, the bigger my bonus check from realgm is.
