People who post "report and move on" should follow their own advice.
People posting warnings about a thread shouldn't be punished, because, no, they are not "contributing" to the discussion whatsoever. It's obvious that if someone posts "Report and move on," that they are doing what they can to lessen the number of bans that could possibly take place. So realistically, banning someone for that reason is banning someone for attempting to better the forums.The delusion that someone who was going to post in that thread will read your post and think "Y'know what.... I really should report and move on. Thanks Winy Pit! I will no longer make a post in this thread!"
People will not listen to you. They are not eight-year-olds, you are not a parent or teacher, and they sure as hell aren't as malleably minded as you seem to think they are. Your post is literally spam at that point. In fact, it does two things, neither of which is good.
1. Bumps a rule-breaking thread.
2. Opens the door for an endless amount of quote-posts of your post.
So once again, stop laboring under the delusion that anyone will actually change their mind when they read your post about reporting and moving on. Though your intentions may be good, when you actually stop and take a moment to think about it, your post makes no sense and does no good.

You know not to bump it so why do it?Making a sacrifice to save someone else from losing their title. I'm thankful for these people, sometimes I become forgetful of the rules or I succumb to temptations and I'll want to post in a thread, but then these people remind me not to post in the thread, and I'm thankful for them, saved me more than once.
This ignores the fact that Dutchy has been here long enough that he should know better without the reminder, as should everyone.
