...You now have the ability to report them and help to reduce the clutter, noise and abuse of our rules. But be aware, with these new tools come new responsibilities. Now that we are able zero in on problem threads, the one thing that we are seeing more and more of is the equally disruptive and far less helpful, "in before the lock", "you are so banned" and "reported as spam" replies.
Trust me on this. Posts like that are NOT helping. They are bumping and they are spam themselves. I go to a thread because of problem reports and in some cases I am blacklisting people who I know actually reported the thread. Why? Because they don't understand what they are supposed to do with the new tool.
If you see a bad post. Just click on "report". Don't respond to it. If the thread is bad, it doesn't deserve the bump, if the post is bad, it doesn't deserve the recognition. Report it and move along. Let us take care of it. And we will....
