Reporting Addition

WetRain · Mar 21, 2011

I think there should be an option to report a thread for having a misleading title.

Reason:

It could say something like "Free auths" then turn out to be someone trying to advertise a gold selling service. This could waste everyone's time because they have to go through the thread trying to find what they clicked.

it only takes 3-5 seconds (15 if your "slow") to check that its obviously not free auths, but yes i guess it could be added.

Not true, I've had a few cases where the title is slightly similar to the title, but ends up being nothing related. I spend 5-10 minutes trying to figure out why the title says free auths, but the webpage provided isn't providing free auths (as an example).

are you abit "slow"? lol nah just joking, but I've seen a few threads mis-leading that way, but i find it relatively easy to press the "back" button.

The point is that you save other people's time by reporting the thread

this is not needed.. you can just use the report button and if it's a misleading title just select 'other' and a mod/admin will go to it ASAP to investigate.

with that logic you can just report everything as other.

Well you can report the post itself and say there was a misleading title.

My point is that there is no option for misleading title to begin with..

You want a new report case to go in just for misleading titles?

Yessir. If you have noticed, the community is expanding rapidly. If we do not make sure all the rules are enforced properly, corruption may occur

Omg if there's one thing, it's smartasses like you.. that.. nevermind. but seriously, it's not logic, it's fucking common sense and if the content that needs reporting doesn't come under any of the default categories then you report it as 'other'
If you don't know what your talking about just shut the fuck up and don't smart mouth me -_-

No, because then there would be no point for options. It's to help staff and mods to find reports faster, and confirming them faster too because they know what it's about

This isn't a great example, just the fastest one I could find

I don't think it's going to be a too big of problem.

It's not. I am simply saying that It would be a good idea, so that in the future this is prevented if it's something very very offtopic. Especially if it's like 5-6 paragraphs

I've still yet to see a thread like that, if the time comes where this is being done frequently, I'm 100% sure The_Elite will implement this suggestion.

If you look up about 3 posts you will be an example.

I will be an example? How will I be an example -,-

Reporting Addition

Should we include this new option into the report options?

Yeah we should include this into the report options

No, we shouldn't include this as one of the report options

I don't know, I haven't encountered a problem like this
