And remember - abuse of the reporting system counts as a violation of the Rules.

Thanks in advance.

I'm curious. I have only ever reported obvious socks/spambots. Even those only occassionally. What is the general nature of such reports if you can share that info?

I know this is highly necrotic, but there are some users who still aren't using the Report System properly.  The system is intended to call the attention of staff to those members who have broken the rules.  You can't report someone for being a jackass, or saying something rude about your mum, or for having a point of view you don't like, or even for general douchbaggery.

I ask again - when you make a report please cite the rule that's been broken.  Frivolous reports have to be looked at and discussed as much as legitimate ones.  This takes time and effort.  So, you know, please think before you report.

Thanks in advance.
