Away with the report time limit!
Please, and I cannot stress this please enough, PLEASE get rid of the time limit between reporting posts.
We have to sit for 60 agonising seconds, staring injustice in the face!
You Moderators can just delete bad posts with the click of a button, but we regular users are the ones letting you know where they are. We have duties as well. Please, let us do our duties more easily.
Rob.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
I can understand the 1 minute waiting between posting, but i agree with rob about the reoprting time limit.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
It's for the reports. Frankly if we could just change this then we would, but everytime you send a report a topic is made (yes you gain posts from reporting), to change that time, we would have to change the time between posts, which gives spammers a open window to do some massive spamming.
-
Re: Away with the report time limit!
so you just gonna spam it and increase your post count?
remember, each report you made = 1 post count because when you report, a thread will be created in Report section (visible for staffs) and the mods will check it and will take some action. so i think 60 secs is ok. if you disable the time limit, you just gonna spam it and increase your post count.
PS: im not saying you gonna spam, im just giving out points what will happen when mental disable it.

Well, I never knew we gain posts for reporting o.O
I want to help fight rule-breaking, not increase my post count.
But I see your point. Thankyou.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
If people would spam it, then the person would just get infracted. Trust me that's not the reason at all for this limit

Re: Away with the report time limit!

Thanks Gohan, I appreciate it, and I feel sure others do as well.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
30 seconds could be better but removing it fully is bad. You could_abuse_the_system, and gain a lot of posts.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
Again, that's not the problem. It would be quite stupid for anyone to spam the section that is visited by about 90% of the moderators daily, if you want a ban, then that's the way to go.

Well then, what is the problem?
Please tell us, so that we can reach an agreement more easily.

Yes, what I mean is if I understand what the problem is then I can adjust my request accordingly.

Again like i said, to change the time limit on that, we change the time limit on all posting everywhere, random n00bs won't come here to spam the infraction logs, we do got random n00bs spamming the regular sections, so by reducing the time, those people could spam more in the same amount of time.

Ah, I see.
Well if the limit combats spammers, then leave it in place. Forget my request.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
Nah, it might actually be worth it to change it to 30 seconds, if we go to low then it will really get people going, but 30 seconds ain't a bad way to go, that's usually enough for people to report more without having to put up with waiting times, but it's enough to keep massive spam away.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
You don't get a post count+ for reporting anymore.
-
Re: Away with the report time limit!
Tested, and Dandune is right. It doesn't raise your post count when you report people. ^^;

yeah thats what i thought. i reported 2 posts a while back, and yet, my post count remained the same.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
Well that should be changed aswell imo.
-
Re: Away with the report time limit!
Well i think the 60 second wait is reasonable because if everyone spams the forum it would probably crash.

Re: Away with the report time limit!
It wouldn't, posting ain't that heavy on the server.
