hipbones Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This is true, a lot of the most negative people (not just in Banter) seem to be very respected so reporting them might make one a lot enemies The reporting system is confidential as far as I know. How can they make an enemy if they don't even know who reported them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This is true, a lot of the most negative people (not just in Banter) seem to be very respected so reporting them might make one a lot enemies Just to remind people: reports are anonymous. People don't know who reports them, we do not tell them and they don't see the report. I just don't want any misunderstanding here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naget4music Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I have a suggestion....stop those Matt boner pictures. Disturbing at the thought of. In other words bye bye Pornogenic threads. They are so annoying and pointless and I get annoyed by just looking at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUSESTL Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No, I know reports are confidential but if someone attacks you and then gets banned, it's obvious you reported him/her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugenkiss Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I did not start that thread in Banter to stir beef, I swear. I honestly thought that was where I should go. But now that it has been locked, I think anyone here can go and see exactly what some of us have been talking about. Here is my issue, and hopefully someone can explain this to me: In particular gig threads, you are supposed to post about that gig. Ok, I get that. And I have seen mods tell people in those gig threads to keep it about the gigs. (ie, Raleigh, NC). So, if those people want a place to go and continue their conversation, where are they supposed to go? Obviously there cannot be a Love Boat for anything other than an individual .mu boardie. Ok, I get that. But apparently you can't post anything about "the band that shall not be named" in Banter either. I guess I just don't understand why we are constantly being told what we Cannot post and Where we cannot post it, but are given no indication of where we can.

Dramatic Hammer Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No, I know reports are confidential but if someone attacks you and then gets banned, it's obvious you reported him/her Well what are they going to do about it if they are banned? In fact what could they even do about it if they weren't banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaLu Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just to remind people: reports are anonymous. People don't know who reports them, we do not tell them and they don't see the report. I just don't want any misunderstanding here. Yeh I know but some people don't know that but moreover, I think people question themselves over whether they're being silly being offended when you see who's being the knob, and how well they seem to be respected. Also, I dunno, it's a bit like you would never go to a teacher because of a fight with a classmate when you were little. Obviously this is wrong and needs to change, but I think it's why people don't report so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No, I know reports are confidential but if someone attacks you and then gets banned, it's obvious you reported him/her Yeah, but we're still the ones doing the banning, so it only happens if we think what they did was worthy of a ban anyway.

MUSESTL Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm just talking about something I've seen. A newcomer posted something and was attacked by several people, some of whom were banned. Then friends of those who were banned began badgering the newcomer, asking him if he had reported them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I making sense? Totally (except the person doing the mugging is a really cool guy with beefy mates down your road), it's definitely not a healthy attitude. So I think it should be discouraged.

Fuck that. Why should you be left to feel unwelcome and intimidated because you are worried what a few other Musers will say? Report them. They've no proof it was you anyway, so just go about your normal business and forget about it. No, they could ruin their... reputation! Super Musers!

I guess I just don't understand why we are constantly being told what we Cannot post and Where we cannot post it, but are given no indication of where we can. Yeah, we definitely understand that you want somewhere to chat while discussing gigs. It's tricky because some people don't want to wade through pages of off topic in a gig thread too. So ideally if everyone there used Banter (just keep it open in a new thread). If the people already their don't like the influx of "new" people, so what? Press on and get chatting to each other, we're fine with it, and if anyone isn't report it so we can do something about it Make one in each forum and use the one that doesn't get locked. Ideally not, we'd prefer all off topic to go in the off topic forum and not segregate the board at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is gonna wait for you by the gate on the way home. Report it have a little trust that we're gonna make a reasonable judgement that only we, the mods, can be accountable for.
