Subject: The Ninja mailbox?

Posted by: WolfmanMaverick
You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I was thinking of a possible new sight feature to make forum going a bit more enjoyable and possibly easier on the Ninjas. Could there be an implementation of another button that says "report thread"? When the button is presses it will send a link to one PM mailbox for all of the Ninjas and they can just click the link to take them to the offending thread. Then they could take whatever action was needed. To combat spam that would result the PM would have who it was from so the Ninja can take action on them as well. I know about the Gmail account, but I think this would be a nicer option to have.

seems like unnecesary revamping. Also, some people might abuse it, because its easy, but no one PMs a mod as a joke.

It wouldn't get sent to all of them just to a central mailbox for them. As they take care of the offending threads or the mailbox spammers they can delete the messages. The Ninjas already have a ton of PM's to sift through. I was mainly thinking of a way that they can have them all in one convenient location.

Well they would easily be able to take care of that as well. Since it would show who it was from they could then take action against them. Either with a vacation from the forums or blocking the PM's all together.

Seems that would take work to adjust.

And I could see how spammers would use this to their advantage. Spamming the ninjas' boxes even more. Most ninjas do their job well. They notice, lock, and ban pretty fast. The problem with most spammers is the troll feeders. It's up to us, the members, not to give these guys attention. Because that's all spammers want.

The good members of the sight are definitely the first line of defense, the ninjas of course are the ultimate. I was just trying to think of a way to make it a little easier for them.

Another thing I thought of to keep multiple PM's would be to say "This thread has already been reported" if somebody else decided to hit the button as well.

I have to go to work so I will have to check up on this later. If anybody else has an idea how to make this work or if they think it won't feel free to post. If we don't discuss new ideas then nothing will ever change.

again, I see no reason why this would help. Just PM a ninja. PM them all if you want, but it would just encourage spammers to have an easy outlet to the already overworked mods.

Ninjas would get spammed. It would make their job harder.

Everyone has mentioned the reasons why not so I'll be a copycat:

* People will abuse it if it is as simple as a click.
* That would be one more thing they have to look at.
* They see all.

Even during the times when nobody is on, don't worry about it. I loved those parts because the people who you might have thought were good members go friggin' crazy. It allows for quick blacklists of future troublemakers. PMs are your friend...if they're valid.


I would hate to see how many invalid PM's you already get or should I say used to get. Oh well. I guess I am the only one who sees any use to this. Thanks for replies though. I guess we can lock this thread now.

I have a great idea, why don't you just ask a Moderator if they want it in the first place?[/Captain Obvious]

Ha - you and I both know there wouldn't be twenty million complaints.... it'd be more like thirty or fourty million.
