Subject: What purpose does the report button serve?

I wanna be, the very best...

Seriously, all it does is hide people's post. I've seen horrible posts last for days without the person getting banned. We honestly need more mods.

I'm watching you.

Mods can't be online 24/7 to manage all the reports. After all, it's not like they're getting paid to moderate...

Just because something is reported doesn't mean a ban will be given.

WHAT?!?!? You mean I can't get ten people to report an innocent person's post and have them banned?

That's ridiculous. I demand a rule change!

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

We as a community should be able to ban whoever we want. No exceptions.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

Also to add on to that mods will not see every post that you reported, if you were the only person to report a post they won't see it.

Is there a reporting system in 343i's forums? I've recommended at least fifty people there, but I've only posted once.

Yes, there is. It's a small triangle with an exclamation point in the center, then prompts you to enter a reason for reporting the thread.

  • 09.16.2011 3:24 PM PDT

Awesome! That's much cooler.

Machinima, does that mean you have to go through all of the reasons, too? (asking machinima because he's a mod there)

Wake me, when you need me.

This thread is bad and I feel bad for posting in it.

I think we need more Mods; these ones are rather busy nowadays. We should still report and move on, in any case.

Furry At Heart,

Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. "

It is a way for the average user to inform the moderators of rule breaking or otherwise undesirable posts. Not only does it hide the reported posts, but it also sends some sort of notification to the 'report queue' which allows them to review the post and consider punishment.

Unfortunately, it seems that not too many people take advantage of the tool. And a very few others even use it as a way of harassing people they do not like.
(eg. Hey guys, _____ user just posted a thread which could be considered rule breaking because it does not encourage discussion, quick everyone report him so he gets banned.)

While that does not happen often at all, it still does. However, the legitimate use of the tool far outweighs the abuses.


Point is, while it's not perfect, it's a very nice tool to have and it does its job well. Use it.


As for the rest, the mods are human beings too. They are not omniscient and they can't be everywhere at once. Just report, PM, and hope for the best.
