When a post is reported, and I request a ban, after the ban is requested, if I had sorted the report list by a specific board (viewing only /g/ for example) the list defaults back to "all" instead of /g/ after the ban is requested.When deleting posts, the list works fine, and returns me to the board I'd narrowed the search to.Also, could the extension be modified to allow janitors to request a ban on non-reported posts? I see a LOT of posts that should get users banned, in spite of nobody having reported the massive amounts of crap on some boards, and the janitor extension doesn't even allow us to report a thread or post if we janitor that board. This lack of ability to request a ban on any post on a board seriously hinders our ability to do our jobs.
I may be incorrect, but despite the extension kicking back the "Could not request ban, it may not have been reported" error my ban request number would still rise by one on the reports page after ban requesting through the extension.
>>1406I've noticed this as well so I assumed that it's just a weird bug where it says that the post couldn't be reported, but someone with a bit more knowledge about this saying something would be great.
>>1407I always figured it was because when you BR a post, it immediately deletes it, and that deletion must occur before it tries to report it and then it gets all frazzed out.
>>1407OP herewhen I spoke to moot, he noted that we as janitors never did have the ability to ban request a post that wasn't a reported post.It seems to me that it always worked prior to tha last extension update though.maybe I am incorrectly recalling this, though.I've requested plenty of bans in the past though, on non-reported posts.Apparently this is why the people never got banned! lol
>>1409Whats this B button then? This is the alt text it gives.
>>1410and when I use that on a post that hasn't been reported by a user, I get an error message saying the ban request failed, and "maybe it wasn't a reported post."
still waiting for a good reason we can't ban request a post that hasn't been reported.I'm starting to see why everyone complains that we're so slow to handle spam though. We can't ban request anything till someone else bothers to report it.
>>1423All the users in s, and hc when it was still here, thought that the mods/admins were actually sponsoring the spam. The attitude kinda died off, but it was a fight for a while.
>>1424misinformation is a reason?a good reason?I really don't see how the paranoia of people who avidly follow a board like /hc/ has anything to do wiith this request.
>>1425it was a response to the person above me. The frustration with the spam, you know, that keeps popping up and won't go away? The fact that i can't ban request people who aren't reported, so all i can do is delete?and hc is dead now, in case you haven't noticed.
>>1426or, specifically, the spam bots are spamming CP all over the place, and I can't ban request them for posting CP? in s, even worse that hc is gone, and people are assuming that because the spam keeps popping up, we're actually sponsoring it? It may not be a problem for you or your board, but it's a huge issue here. Do you really want half the users running around thinking that we like the spam, and want to give people viruses?
>>1427I would STILL like to be able to ban request trolls and non-bot morons who like to continue to post things like image macros, "nigger this" and "nigger that," and so forth, without having to wait for someone with a soul and half a brain to report the idiots. This is the majority of what I end up deleting, and most of it is by the same idgits, who continue to repost the shit as soon as it's deleted.it gets old, fast.
