Am I the only person on here who kind of hates the people who report everything to Jeff?

[Anonymous]

I report gratuitous insults and lying.

Don’t really care what you think, OP, since you literally wouldn’t know me if you saw me on the street.

I appreciate the reports for lying, trolling, racism, etc.

I detest the nitpicky reports that can derail a good conversation. One of the hall monitors lives on the VA Schools forum and reports the stupidest little things so I don’t waste my time there anymore.

"hates the people who report..."? Geesh, such strong (and telling?) language in support of nasty behavior.

Sounds like somebody who likes to post crap that gets deleted.

+1. Unless the comment is truly egregious one would have to be a pedantic imbecile to report it.

Nah, probably someone who's set off by the poster coming into the homeschooling Fauci thread over and over again to inform us all that they're reporting the thread. It's exhausting behavior.

+1 This and I have reported posts that use identifiable information about people, usually kids, but sometimes adults. This is mostly in the different school forums and the lacrosse forum. I appreciate it that those posts are so quickly removed. I agree with the PP that if my action bothers you then you should think about why.

I report spam and people who posts links without bothering to include a summary or some context to it. That's mostly it. Call me a minion, I don't care. It keeps things clean so others don't waste their time.

DCUM has become popular because a certain level of standards are maintained. Without the help of posters who report posts that don’t meet those standards, we couldn’t maintain them. That would cause us to become less popular overall, though perhaps more popular with you. Unless you can show that you are responsible for an inordinate amount of the site’s popularity, I prefer to stick to the formula that works. Thanks to all those who report posts. I really appreciate your efforts.

Its popular because it's the only dmv site with a broad range of topics. The hall monitoring, biased politics, etc has driven a lot of us to reddit.

It's not true that it is the only site with a broad range of topics. The hall monitoring has driven you to Reddit, yet here you are.

But why does it matter to you?

I can see reporting harassment, name-calling, certain language, etc.

Who cares if I put my post about kid haircuts in General Parenting or Beauty?

Who cares if two people post similar threads about John Krasinski, one in Entertainment and one in Off Topic?

I read through recent posts for interesting topics and pay zero attention to forum.

OP here. +1 to this. I should have written a more detailed post orginially. I support 100% reporting racism and the ilk that Jeff mentioned in his response. But, I do find it annoying when people are reporting for too many threads on royals, or I accidentally post in the wrong forum etc. Like seriously Sheila, what's it to you?

+1. But I think Jeff is pretty good about ignoring reports/not deleting if it's frivolous.

Did any of the posts from the thread that was linked in the "organized sock puppetry?" post actually get deleted?

How do you know they're lying? What some people may not think is racist may be racist to softy sensitive people.

THIS. Let us all have a conversation with threatening to report us. Maybe I'll start reporting the people who threaten to report.

Actually, you should. I appreciate people making reports, but I don't appreciate them announcing it in the thread. That means I have to delete two posts instead of just the one they are reporting.

Yes I'm on Reddit 90% only come back here if reddit DC doesn't have answers to my questions. And I said it's the only DMV site with a broad range of topics. The ffxu site is a joke. I know of no other dmv sites unless someone here let's me know? I'd be out of here in a jiffy.
