Report a Scammer improvement

[Superfluous]

The RAS subforum is full of badly-formatted, difficult to read, and unsubstantiated threads. Because of this, mods spend many hours sifting through the crap to find what they actually need to know.

My suggestion is simple, but I don't know if it's possible given the way Sythe is coded. Can we make it such that clicking the "new thread" link (http://www.sythe.org/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=253) in RAS brings you to a pre-formatted post that has in it sections of this post?

So it would look something like:

And then the posted thread could look like that except with the header cut off (not necessary, just a stylistic thing). Thoughts? Suggestions?


And add this to take you to a screen that looks like the above:

It's not flaunting anything, but it's probably where people would look first if they've been scammed.

 

Not a bad idea +1 OP
Also maybe include some helpful advice on places to upload images for inexperienced people.

Good thought ^_^

 

Support, if its possible. It seems that many people (mostly newcomers) who go to make a report after being scammed tend to rush through their reports due to anger/panic/ignorance. Having to resubmit their reports in proper format wastes their time and the mods' time, not to mention it gives the potential scammer more time to scam others.

As much as I want to say just read the ** stickys, this would be a nice change.
As long as it's easy and possible, support

 

[Ziggily]

100% support for this. That would make my life [and other staff members] much easier ^_^

Has been on several other forums that I frequent.

 

[Dareshop]

This looks pretty good compared to the current one, +1

 

[Ayy]

Yeah would be nice to have the template ready with the click of the button, support.

 

Excellent idea. It would limit the reports without proof. I'm not sure if its possible though but if it is definitely a great addition.

 

This would make our RaS forum a whole lot more junk-free.

I can't see why this wouldn't be possible with some sort of Javascript or something. Support.

This definetly needs improvement. No doubt newcomers are having problems and its hard for mods to solve them lol

 

[R I P]

Yep sure would be nice beats all the spam of people just posting random shit on there and it having to be closed by a mod saying " insufficient proof".

 

[Stickly]

Good idea, and I'm pretty sure it could be implemented.

 

I support this, good for the mods and will save their time to do more things

 

[Katara]

If technically possible, yes. Would prevent many unnecessary delay.

 

Excellent idea, I'd love to see this used.

Even a form like the one you use when you do bulletin points could be used I suppose.

Support, people ignoring the stickies gets old just as someone talking a look at reports every once and a while.

 

[MurdShop]

Support, would be easier for both parts, mods and users.

 

Support however I'm not sure if it can be implemented. It's worth giving a shot through

 

[FireZ]

This was brought up a few years ago, Blupig had a hand in it but not sure why the project got stopped.

 

[Lean]

I support if it's a simple addition. Would make things a lot easier.

 

I support this. I think the addition would be fairly simple and make everyone's live easier.
