This is a Buffalo Bills message board and though occasionally conversations get heated, for the most part, most everyone should be transparent to the moderators in day-to-day conversations. However, if you find yourself reporting posts every single day or if you have your posts reported every single day then that means you are inserting yourself into the life of the moderators on a daily basis. There is absolutely no reason in the world why this should ever happen. Interacting conflict free on a message board is a very low bar of social interaction to clear. We have had thousands of people come through here and able to navigate that successfully. Please do not be a high maintenance poster. Thanks. Why have a report button at all? Get rid of it. No one's gonna want to use it anymore, anyway.

It's not all or nothing. Once in a great while there will certainly be a post that should be reported. Something legitimately offensive or such. The point of this post is some people are a little overeager. Just because a few people report far more then they should doesn't mean nothing should ever be reported.

I would just like to point out what SDS actually said: " However, if you find yourself reporting posts every single day or if you have your posts reported every single day then that means you are inserting yourself into the life of the moderators on a daily basis. There is absolutely no reason in the world why this should ever happen. " There is nothing in there about "once in a great while" or "never". Every day. Multiple times a day. It would be nice if uncivil or even truly offensive stuff only occurred every "once in a great while" here. I think that's the desired goal, not the elimination of any reporting, or reducing it to "once in a great while".

I read that on the internets, please don’t dispute it.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 it seems a certain high maintenance poser has gotten a lot of people put in the penalty box. maybe the common denominator should be given a hard warning or something. That just might help. Why should 1 guy drive a half dozen or more away?

Kirby Jackson Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I’m going to start using that report button. I’m mostly going to complain about @Boyst62 and @Augie. I’m sick of Boyst calling people “snowflakes” and Augie trying to sell his condo in Nashville (it’s called Craigslist). 1

You can’t afford NOT to buy it! And.....we close on another in Atlanta tomorrow so I’ll throw in a fridge full of beer for any takers. (I know my audience!) Seriously, I’m thinking of going up next week just because I can. I’ll miss that place. Great town, for now at least. (A guy in Atlanta really can’t complain about traffic in Nashville.)
