Report A Post

[Mint]

I don't mean report a post as you know it, It's something new that I have thought of. First of all I'm not suggesting that it should take over from the feature we now know as "Report A Post" but be used aswell as it to cut down on unnacceptable posters.

This is how it could work:

When you see a post in a thread that is unnacceptable you would have an option to select something that would ban that person from the thread to prevent an argument from starting and stop them from saying anything else that may upset someone. This would need to be done maybe 5 times before a MOD would automatically be alerted and the MOD would then decide if the user deserves to be stopped from posting in that thread again.

Discuss!

Would need a modification and habboxforum dont like that. Also I am not sure if a modification such as that exists?

And why not just report the post? Its easier as they get dealt with pretty quickly.
And loads of people would just start reporting posts (even though there would probably be circumstances) to ban someone from posting in a thread.

I'm not sure the feature could even be installed?

Basically you want to do a mods job for them, until you fail at it then the mod takes over?

It all comes down to the illusive "thread ban" feature that doesn't exist. And I've never heard of such a system, however it sounds very long winded and gives too much power to people who can easily abuse it.

yeh like 5 people could dislike someone so report them which could also waste alot of time for a MOD who has to then check if someone should be banned.

But when someone posts a bad post it will nearly always cause an argument which could easily be avoided with this system. You can always report a post and it will be removed or the poster will be punished but there is nothing to stop them posting again to reply to a reply to there post that would of probally annoyed loads of people. If this can't be done then there is no point disscussing it. Maybe it's a good idea though.

Firstly I dont think a script for this exists and secondly it would be abused if it was installed.

Is it not just fine to report the post/thread. Me or a fellow smod will look at it and then decide what to do ?.

The ban from thread also i could see it being abused with members asking us to ban someone from a thread at 1 tiny little insult.
