Thats why I reported under the rules. The user has alot of spam reports but that does nothing, you'll just get a generic email from the "team" saying ita not spam, which its not.Mercdriver said:And Admin aren't interested in the reports. They would rather sanction the regulars. Because they do nothing about AE, that then leads to it spilling into threads. Never as bad as this occasion though.0 -
If you report things as spam that aren't you eventually get a yellow card then a 2 week ban.Scrapit said:

I got sanctioned for calling a post 'daft'. I didn't call the person daft, just the post.waamo said:

And reporting something containing the word 'daft' when they write so much worse just shows the mentality of the trouble makers, judgemental, condescending but ultimately looking to provoke to get a response that they can report.
I find it much better to not respond directly or quote them but to talk over them so their posts just look silly.Originally Posted by shortcrust

The forum isn't moderated, and if the troublemakers are the only ones reporting posts, then admin only see their side and act on it adding to the troublemakers fun. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.waamo said:

The 'daft' one was earlier in the year. We all make daft posts from time to time.nicechap said:
