Hey fellow /j/ team members,Just wanted to ask your opinion on something. Some of the users of our drama board /cgl/ felt it was necessary to report a bunch of posts that accused a cosplayer of photoshopping her pictures. Not that photoshopping is a big issue for /cgl/, it's done all the time. The posts are not illegal content or breaking the rules of /cgl/. From what I have read, abusing the report function would be reason for a ban.Should I be escalating these fake reports for bans or clearing them without action?
This is something I've wondered as well. How would we punish excessive bad reports?
Moderators have a ban reporter button. If you find a series of reports that are a problem, come tell a moderator to ban the reporter. Removing the report removes the way to ban them, though.
This is somewhat on topic: There's at least one person in /a/ who consistently reports EVERY instance of "battletoads," "combat frogs," and similar responses to source requests.Granted, replying with "battletoads" is pretty stupid, but I generally clear the reports because people realize it's a joke. But there are 3-4 reports a day for "battletoads," and assuming that I'm doing the right thing by clearing them, it would be nice to warn the guy and say "hey, stop reporting this."
