Reporting - who's doing it.

[Peikko 1,575]

I just read something bizarre, a poster made a claim that liberals are more likely to complain about TOS violations than conservatives. That seems to me like a very cockeyed claim to make but just for fun thought I would test the water as it were.

I reported you once in a thread where you repeatedly used the N word. Otherwise, nope.

[Peikko 1,575]

It isn't necessary to state why you made the report although you can do if you want to I guess.

+1. Dropping the N-Bomb just ain't right.

I don't think she (Lisa) actually voted.

Seems needlessly antagonistic to me.

I've NEVER reported another poster. Just don't feel the need to, I suppose. We're all adults here. No need to go 'crying to mommy.'

It's an odd thing to do and I hope it doesn't derail the thread. Other than that, I have no objection to it.

The moderators keep complaining that they can't do their job properly because things don't get reported. How do we square all being adults with their inability to cope with moderation unless we do report issues?

Frankly, I don't see the need for moderators, at all. Apart from VJ, the only forum I've ever been on, was many years ago on a city-specific popularity/social network. There was an administrator who patrolled the site taking down inappropriate porn pictures and such but I don't think there were any moderators.

I'd prefer VJ moderators to do the basics of their jobs -- close/merge/split/deal with duplicate threads and such but I don't think they should be called into settle what is, essentially, a school-yard fight.

Also, I don't take things on the interwebz, too seriously. If somebody thinks I'm a sodding b!tch (and says so), so be it. Doesn't affect my 'real life' at all.

I agree with you on that.

I thought that until yesterday - I'm not sure if one can just let everything slide when it is obvious that some people report things continuously and the result is a contradictory picture of what is tolerated. I'm still thinking about it, but today I'm inclined to believe that my not reporting anything has made things worse, not better.

Of course it would. *sigh*

eta: the poll is flawed btw...someone could say 'no' and 'conservative' and that wouldn't really reflect what it is you're looking for. I'd say redo with 'yes, conservative' 'no, conservative' etc for more accurate results.

also eta: the reason why I explained is that NORMALLY I don't agree with reporting, but the repeated use of the N word was an exception for me. That is why I explained.

The question in the OP was not "who have you reported and why", it referred to a claim made elsewhere that there is a political bias in the people doing the reporting.

stop micromanaging me, if I want to explain, I will.

Also, if you'll notice, I explained WHY I explained. For you. And those like you who look for the perceived insult to whine about in every sodding thing on here lately
