This thread has become on the first page what I didn't want it to be, a discussion thread. I will create a self-moderated one just for reports, which may contain some relevant comments, but I will leave this one for discussion.
Calm down and use the report to moderator button.
For starters, you haven't read the comment in question, nor the other thread, otherwise you wouldn't advise reporting.
I don't know how long you plan on sticking around this forum, but I have been here 9 years and seen no changes as far as people reading the 1st page.
So if something has been going wrong for 9 years, we have to keep on doing it. Allow me to differ from your opinion.
^ this post should have been inserted into the OP so that users will be updated with what is going on under the thread. kinda like a
note: update... under the first post.
everyone is trying to achieve the quota. if this is something that could be added to the rules in the forum, a lot of users will be purged because even the reply of the OP is not seen. maybe Theymos can make the OP replies under the thread be colored to be noticed so that people scrolling down will see some updates of what OP did after. or probably just turn this
(OP) to pink?
Are you seriously suggesting that instead of people reading page 1, theymos should make a patch? LMAO
The best solution I think of when you don't see a positive response from your intended user after a warning is - report the post to moderator.
The best solution is to read before you comment.
Yeah, that would be nice if these posts like from Wapfika won't receive any reward of any sort.
Unfortunately, spotting and rejecting such posts would mean additional work for campaign managers, so maybe a community based topic to collect such stuff can be helpful, indeed.
Three strikes could result in a round of missed weekly signature campaign rewards.
Campaign managers checking OP's topic would also be very effective.
<...>
There can be many strategies how to discourage this. Reduced rewards seem to be the only language these shitposters will understand.
That is the idea. We can all make a mistake or slip up at any given moment. By making a compilation, you will be able to see especially if there are people who repeatedly comment without reading the obvious. And I'm setting the bar low, eh? Just read the comments on page 1.
