Tweak the Report function

Currently, there are very few members who even know about the two Report-a sections and there are even fewer members who actually use it.

I have two suggestions (more, really);

1) Move the 'Report-a-scammer' section to the Black Market

2) Remove the 300/500 second wait between reporting people. Countless times I see a post violation, go to report it, but find out that I've already reported someone in the last eight minutes. (I'm probably just being lazy here but do what you wish)

3) Add links to the Report-a sections in the Rules.

4) Move report-a-spammer to the top of the forum.

Blah, etc.​

 

I do have to agree that the ANTI-SCAM section should be at the top or damn near the MARKET. I also have to agree with the 300 or whatever second wait times. It takes too damn long. However, people may tend to abuse it.

 

I think the report a scammer section is good where its at.

 

agreed about the forum report

 

I've posted about the 300 second wait before. Its very annoying but my suggestion got ignored.

I also think in addition to the message box it should also have an option

Type of report and from a drop down menu you select eg. Flamming, Advertising etc and the text box could be used for additional information.

 

Hehehe...That's a direct reference to another forum I use, and they have over 640,000 members. Apparently, it's very useful.

Also, why would people abuse the Report function when they could just make a thread? like adbots already do, etc.

 

i completely agree with you.. no one usually goes all the way to the bottom, so runescape guides, general, etc. is their last stop, so yeah i do agree with you.

 

Thanks. David, I'm not positive if your signature is in violation of the rules, but I would check just to be sure.

 

I just noticed Report a Spammer is in the "Anti-Scam" section. That doesn't make sense.

 

Why move them to the top though? They have more threads than any section on this forum except black market. Which is kinda sad

 

Sure. Having people report them and having a mess is better than no reports at all!

 

Can you explain? I'm confused.

 

I'm saying that having a giant amount of barely-useful threads, even at the bottom of the forum, is better than having the incoherent ones not be posted at all.

 

I support all your suggestions, except I think that report a scammer is fine in the anti-scam forum.

 

when im scrolling down to to report i get distracted then sorta look at other things before i get to the section i reckon move it up..
