This is a response to yesterdays spamming by "Professor".
Can we get an option to report a user (not just in posts). and say if the person gets 10 reports on him/her the account is suspended until a mod/admin decides otherwise. I think this would be useful in events like yesterday. where Professor was creating multi accounts and spamming (20 posts each) meaning he could have cheated/messed up polls.
Since Admins/Mods can't be on 24/7 we should be able to do something too rite?
just imo and wondering
GOOD JOB RORIX : btw -

but then members would report other members just for joke
you know what i mean
they wuld report them because they don't like them, or because they said something bad to them.... -

yea that is a problem....
How bout their only put on suspension if 10 people report him/her? or more?
and reporting for no valid reason can get you into trouble? Like a warning similar to the ones you get for spamming? -

You know posts used to get deleted when you reported them (or well, removed until a mod could see them over). Then I accidentally reported a whole thread, since I had messed it up by reporting the first post, got warned, and the function removed
Anyway, abuse would lead to ban so sure, this could work. -

I don't mean to shout but that was me who suggested it. Hmm I would like to have this power, in general I'm a pretty neutral and unbiased person.

decent idea but prone to abuse.
i prefer cleaning up manually in those cases and dealing with the reports. -

Yea, Thats why i suggested that: Abusing this feature would cause you to get a warning/ban from a mod/admin.
And, (if i wasn't clear enought)
Reports should come from 10 different people. *and mabe they give evidence? like a screenshot or something? < for mod/admin reference later onQUOTE (Zombo @ Aug 12 2008, 10:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>i prefer cleaning up manually in those cases and dealing with the reports.
The user Professor created 6 accounts and spammed with each one up to 20 posts (enought to vote on polls).
No mod was on that time, (untill Rorix came)
Think about it. I could find a time where no mod is on then I could create 5 accounts, and spam each one till i can vote. Thats 6 votes for me right there. (which is what professor did or we think)
And there isn't a way for you guys to find out where he voted with these accounts right? -

mods will be online eventually >_>
you can't expect them to react in the same minute whenever something happens. they have lives, you know

yes yes, but how about when they ARN'T on.
because mods arn't on 24/7 is why im suggesting this.
Look at what Professor did when the mods wern't on. We were basically powerless to stop him. -

I don't even think it's possible to set it to auto-ban someone through reports? And Professor is nearly a one-of-a-kind case anyway.

If its a problem about mods not being on all the time, Zombo can just recruit more moderators who have more felixible time zones

i don't think that'll work technically speaking as i don't think invisionboard supports that feature...unless its been too long since i've been in an IPB admin panel
