  • Now you can report inappropriate forum posts!

    Hi Guys,

     

    Another mini update for you while we work on bigger things behind the scenes. This time it's a Report Forum Post feature!


    Ever come across an inappropriate forum post that a mod needed to see? Well, now you can report the post and provide a reason why why you've flagged it. Playfire staff and moderators also now have a control panel where they can see the reported posts and deal with them. If multiple people report the same post that's OK, as it'll just show them all grouped together.  

     

    What we're hoping is that if someone writes a flamebait or spammy post, people will now just report it instead of posting in the thread and making it worse. Now you can just report it and move on.

     

    Also, we added another anti-spammer feature too: we've created the ability for moderators to lock threads that get out of hand, too. Just another two methods we've introduced recently for combating spammer scum! Smile

     

    In other news we've also created a Playfire fan page on Facebook -- go over and join it now! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Playfirecom/51264979161 And if you use Twitter, then follow thew new Playfire account there too: @playfire

     

    That's it for now. More soon. Enjoy!

     

    - Kieran & the Playfire team

    • the_g_reaper lol i think its a good. idea. ill admit that ive done my fair bit of spamming. not so much on here but yea.
      lol im just an angry man
      anyway its a good way to shut people up really when it gets out of hand. i dont mind a bit of banter but yea people take it too far sometimes. especially when they sink so low as to things that are completely unethical. racism for 1.
      what i want to know is if your going to actually ban people that are constantly getting reported or if your just closing down the thread 1 year ago
