Tribe Forum Moderation

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I don't know if it's a mandatory feature of the forum software or whatever, but why even have a report button if we're actively discouraged to never use it?

Seems odd that it would exist in the first place unless you guys have no choice in the matter.

Totally fair question that deserves an answer.

The "Report" button" is for more or less emergencies that require immediate action. An example would be like what we had happen a few months ago, when some spammer came on here and started hitting every thread with massive nonsense posts, effectively shutting down the entire forum.

Even then, the first reaction should be to look at "active users" and the bottom of the page, see if there are any mods or admins on line, and ping them so that@Sebastian doesn't get hit with 50 texts. But if nobody is responding, that would be the time to hit Report. Once obviously.

Or imagine if that was someone posting kiddie porn. That's the kind of thing @Sebastian would want to know about immediately to shut it down.

Other argument-type stuff should generally be handled by pinging mods or admins because it isn't something that justifies interrupting a guy who may be doing something actually important at his work, etc..
 
Maybe add some additional context/text to the actual report box itself? Seems to me you could add some universal language/clarity Capture.PNG
 
The Report function includes a box for a description or for the body of a complaint.
I think @Criznit was suggesting that the Report looks customizable--if it is, it might make sense to put a warning on that pop-up. Warning: Do not use unless you see illegal activity going on or something else that requires immediate intervention. This will text the website's owners.

It isn't.
 
A reminder to everyone that racial discussions, even in the context of baseball, are off limits everywhere except where they are permitted in the political forums.

This forum is for the game of baseball.
 
Whenever I get around to it, I'll clean up the Guardians 2023 Season thread from all the crap that everyone knows doesn't belong in there, and then unlock it.

Right now, though, I'm going to take my grandson on a nice, long walk.

This is the second time in less than two weeks someone has started getting into political discussions here. So consider this a general warning to everyone.

It's a baseball forum, guys. Pontificate about other shit elsewhere.
