I get more ass than a toilet seat.

Why is it that you can report your own post(s) as spam?

  • 01.02.2008 6:48 PM PDT

Because there are a lot of people who should.

I think it's because the system has three different sections. The first being that all regular members can report spam; the second being that ninja's and Bungie employees cannot report spam; and the third being that us regular members cannot report and moderators or Bungie employees of spam.

Because everyone else can. Just because you post it won't mean it's not spam. The forums are ran through Bungie's servers. I think that's how it works. =)

Controlling fission events without incident since May, 2012.

Probably the same reason you can blacklist yourself if you have the power to do so to other members. It gives a member privileges against users equal to their account, including their own. Besides, some people do (as stated above) need to report their own posts.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they put it there so if you feel like hating your self. Or if you feel any guilt then you get to turn your self in because you just plain hate you. im going to click my self right now as a spammer cause I hate me.

Although I may agree with you (no comment :-p) I do not think that outburst was appropriate.

In regards to the thread I guess that it would be difficult to code the site to not allow you to report your post as spam and it is also pointless to do so. After all you'd have to be pretty stupid to report your own post as spam. And if it isn't it would be an accident on your part and you wouldn't be banned so there is no real harm done.

I'm confused as to why you can't report the Ninjas posts as spam. Actually. No I'm not, I understand exactly why you can't respond the ninjas posts as spam, because I would do it all the time.

It isn't hard, in fact, it would be easy. However, I am a big fan of both messing with your minds and delicious irony, so it stays.

(i.e., reporting things as spam that aren't can get you banned, so the joke's on you if you report yourself all the time. If you try to only report yourself when you do spam... well, that's quite insane, but still helpful to the system's goal of you getting the losers banned as fast as possible - so, there really isn't a downside to letting the system allow self-reporting).

I'd laugh if someone reported themself enough to get banned lol.

On a side note - Just give me Xbox Live banhammer power for 5 min and xbox live would change forever, believe me.

Why would you mess with our minds?! Really though I would find it highly comical if people did report their own spam. If they are noble enough to do that they are crazy but helpful no doubt.

You'll get yourself erased from the history of the internets. Plus, you can't anyway.

As for the reason Achronos is messing with our minds; I believe it has to do with the fact that we have no rights and must play nice even if Achronos were to call us all peg boys.

I hope that wasn't pointed towards me. ;(. I would hate to imagine what its like getting banned nor would I want to. That will make me very depressed and would force me to eat Hotpockets for the rest of my life. I sometimes get really nervous when responding or making posts in here cause I always have this fear that some mod is watching me. Waiting for me to make the slightest twitch or mistake.

It's very difficult for me to explain how I feel when going in here. I am extremely cautious. Well sort of. Even making those posts up there were a big risk for my Rep and who I am. It's pretty difficult sometimes.I sort of view It like walking into a huge bar. You don't want to be the person mixed up as a trouble maker. well sort of XD. I try to keep my self out of trouble. I do a good job with serious trouble. But the small things. Well thats when I get nervous. But who cares what I think? I'm an idiot.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I also have a Report Spam question. Can you report people saying they know how to unlock recon in-game as spam?

We all know you can't unlock it and you guys give it away, so can we report them?

If somebody is posting bullcrap, feel free to report it. They're just trolling/spamming to garner a response.

The "report as spam" button actually messes with my head all the time. If there is a ridiculous post or thread, I will hover over that button for minutes trying to determine whether I am just being grumpy, or if the post is in fact spam. Anyone else have this problem?
