Probably easier for Howey to keep track of the posts he DOESN'T report.

Insinuations of pedophilia should be reported.
Still here.
In over four years, of being a member here, I reported one person. I was even reluctant to do that, but felt it necessary.
It happens by people from all sides who have no real sense of personal power.
Considering that cereal_killer and some mods have told me they want members to report infractions, you're giving a very mixed message here.
Which is it?
Are you agreeing that people who report are "douche bag limp dick fags" "who have no real sense of personal power" or are they responsible members of a community?
What is it that the admin and mods want from the members here?
I've been told to report infractions because they're not all caught. Since then, I've been called a paedophile six times and .....well, we all see where that went, don't we?
I've been told to report dupe threads. We all see where that went, don't we?
I'm beginning to think [MENTION=1]jimnyc[/MENTION] bought this place back.
Is there any way for one to keep track of posts they've reported?
In over four years, of being a member here, I reported one person. I was even reluctant to do that, but felt it necessary.
I had a poster respond to me in the clean debate zone once, violating just about every CDz rule that existed. Instead of reporting him, I pm'ed the guy, advised him he could be banned for such and told him he should delete that post and attack me in a flame zone thread I was in.
He did, apologized and viciously attacked me in the flame zone.
No need to take this place so dang seriously.
Right Pop. Proving once again, we are the answer to our questions and we are the solution to our problems.
Insinuations of pedophilia should be reported.
And acted upon. As well as family insults. There's a noob that showed up a few days ago insulting everyone's family members. Still here.
Surprised. Usually they are pretty good at cracking down on family attacks.
I didn't really understand Howie's question.. Keep track of YOUR reported posts? Or ALL reported posts?
I assure you that we carefully follow the very high IRS standards for archiving customer and employee interactions and NO Report has ever been lost or stolen.. Couple things.
1) ALL reports are handled. MOST are viewed by more than one mod. We often ask for opinions.
2) This is a community -- not a police state.. If you see a poster getting mugged with illegal posts, report it. If you see blatant rule violations -- report those as well. Poster reports are a vital part of moderating this board.
3) We don't owe an explanation for every report that is reviewed. OCCASIONALLY, we'll send an explanation. You are always welcomed to follow-up on a report by PMing your choice of Mod/Admin.
4) One of main mistakes in poster reports is not taking into consideration the ZONE in which the alleged offense occurred.. Different rules for different zones.
5) There are almost NO RULES about content or opinions if they are expressed legally in the correct forums.
You would not want to be part of message board where ONLY the moderators made calls about infractions. No matter how unbiased they were. We cannot fairly cover every nook and cranny of this board without help from the community. And your OPINIONS on infracts help us to calibrate our actions.

There are indeed quite a few posting parties that use profanity that of course is always offensive. I believe they know better than that or should. When I was in school I was taught that only uneducated people with low self-esteem use profanity. I agree with that! There is no excuse to use it other than to show one's ignorance and lack of self-respect and respect for others. A person can get their thought across quite well without the use of profanity. Personal attacks also are offensive as again one can use common thoughts to express themselves while having a conversation or discourse with others without sounding like they are a wild, uncontrolled animal on the loose. When I speak I often use great passion to get my thought across and that's one thing, but to start a barrage of cussing and bad language is unwarranted from anyone. There are some folks who do use it and although they may make points worthy of response, if they get into serious attack-mode and start using profanity those posts may be ignored. Thanks for your posting on this matter!I report posts that are clearly personal attacks or contain an offensive amount of profanity.

I generally ignore or just skip over posts that depend on foul language because they almost always lack substance. The use of foul language is usually used to draw attention away from that fact and of course, it always fails.

`Sides, crude language is not considered an offense here as long as it has content to the OP.
That is entirely correct! But I sure wish more people showed the ability to understand that.I generally ignore or just skip over posts that depend on foul language because they almost always lack substance.

It may not be an "offense" but it is offensive among people of good breeding and education. I would not consider expecting that language be censored here and would complain if it were. Nonetheless, it is indicative of a inability to think or express one's thoughts in a mature and thoughtful manner.
In short, its trashy and stupid. And, we all know what stupid trash is worth - nothing.
That's the choice the poster makes.
