Report System Abuse Rule

[LadyForCamus]

Because the entire purpose of creating said thread would be to put a person on blast in front of everyone. This would create an environment in which people might feel like if they screw up, they'll be publically shamed. Also, it assumes the person who created the thread has the ability/knowledge to determine what is a rule violation and what is not. The fact is, the vast majority of the reports we get are voted "no action." If everyone who reported those threads were to make a public thread, we'd have hundreds of threads calling out people for doing something that the staff would deem not a violation. Lastly, sometimes the "no action" votes wouldn't be so popular among the forum-at-large. If these "reports" were made publicly, it would put undue influence on the staff to act by what's popular, rather than abiding by the rules.


This made no sense to me whatsoever. Rephrase, if necessary.

Basically, my question is, why is it not allowed to complain about someone in that manner in an especially created thread and yet it is allowed to so in a non-related thread(with a simple reply/post). Doesn't the latter scenario raise all the same problems as listed by you above concerning the former scenario? I understand that there's a difference between creating a thread with the sole purpose of shaming someone in this manner and replying off-topic in a non-related thread with a similar intent in mind, but isn't the latter wrong for the same reasons?

GOD, you are fucking annoying, EP. What is your problem, seriously? You are like the kid on the playground who runs around pushing other kids down because he's bored and craves a reaction. If you don't like the rules here, then do us all a favor and leave. It's too bad, because you seem like an intelligent, inquisitive person, but you have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old...
