Report A Post

[Mr.OSH]

Even if a safe and conceivable add-on/hack for this could be found I would doubt it would be added due to the fact not only are you doing part of the Moderators job also the feature would undoubtedly be abused and it would probably cause more problems than it is worth.

Sadly I do not think it would work. Thanks for your suggestion however!

There is a "Thread ban" feature that allows you to simply ban a user from your thread. I don't know if its been made for this version but I have personally used it and I suggested implementation here.

But the very good point that was brought up was this would allow members to basically quash the opinions of others and keep people they didn't like out of threads. It would also further the bullying in certain forums where members are often targeted.

Finally someone has agreed that it would be quite a good feature.

I know that it could cause a lot of problems like you have stated, sir nvr. But with there needing to be maybe 5 people reporting a post before a MOD is alerted it would probally mean that the post really is bad and the poster should be banned from the thread to stop arguments starting, hurtfull thing's being said or to stop the thread from needing to be closed.

A modification such as that doesn't even exist (where you have to have 5 people report a post, then the user gets banned and a moderator is then alerted). Instead of the moderator being alerted after 5 reports, why not just click the REPORT A POST button. They get sorted out pretty quickly. I don't really see the point in this thread. And people would just get bullied in a thread by constantly being banned in debates etc.

This isn't about a Moderator removing the text from a post or infracting the user that has posted it!

It's about banningthe use from the thread!

Yeah only after 5 users report it, and this kind of modification doesnt exist (well it didn't the last time I checked anyway).
And this feature would be abused.

No you misunderstand I originally thought about it but I disagree for the reasons I listed

Just woken up so not really focused enough to think of anything smarter to say . But how does the banning system work that you mentioned? And is there any hacks to modify it to a way that would suit this forum best?

The OP can simply ban a user from the thread themselves, the mod would require extensive modification, not only for the five per rule, then to submit to a moderator, but also to let all posters warn each other. It would basically be a totally different code.
