Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - MOD REQUEST: On reporting trolls (please read)

Sazerac · 11-26-2001, 10:38 AM

Since Memnoch brought this up, I realize I'm not the only moderator with this particular "gripe", so I'll say something about it here.

Folk, we appreciate each and every one of your efforts to keep Ironworks spam-free and troll-free. That includes reporting to us via e-mail or private message when a "troll" actually does pop up from time to time.

However, it doesn't do us any good to let us know about these "trolls" when you either A) do not mention the person by user name and just go on about 'there's a TROLL posting in BG2:SoA!!!' B) do not post a link to the thread in question, or C) all of the above. We mods are very busy, and it is very unfair to expect us to intuitively "know" where to look and who to look for.

So please, when reporting bad behavior online, include the following information in your message:

1) WHO the member is
2) WHAT the thread is (post a link)
3) and in which forum.

Remember, also, that though we have "Moderator" next to our name, it doesn't necessarily mean we're a mod at that forum. Please check the moderator list for the forum right under its logo before contacting.

Thank you for your continued help! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,
