  • Reporting on GamerX Forum

    What is reporting?
    Reporting is a feature used on this forum (and many others) that allows any user to report a forum content posted by another user which is against the forum rules. You can do this by doing the steps below, and your report will be sent to the Forum Moderator/Administrator.

    How do I report something?
    The first step is to click the following button on whatever it is you wish to report to the admins:

    This button can be found at the bottom left of posts and private messages, at the top right of group discussion posts, and visitor messages (as a text).

    When you click the button, you will see a text box form where you can type your reason for reporting. From there, you can send the report with following button:


    What can I report?
    You can report forum posts, group discussion messages/comments, private messages, visitor messages, album pictures, and album picture comments. If you wish to report a thread in general, just report the first post in it. Also if it is an attachment of post, just report the post.

    Why should I report?
    Reporting is a better way than replying on the message by warning and telling the user or even acting like an admin regarding bans/demotions which is not useful and against the rules (#7.4). Also because the report will be send to the right forum moderator/admin.

    What should I report?
    You should report anything that against the GamerX Rules. However, the rules do not cover every situation, so if you see something that you don't think should be allowed and isn't specifically mentioned in the rules, do not hesitate to report it. If you are unsure whether if it is breaking the rules or not, it is better to report it, and the moderators will handle it.

    There is also some section which own specific rules, the section moderator reserve the right to decide what to do in the post of its section. Except it's something regarding post with wrong formatting (like Ban Appeals, TP Application, etc) you shouldn't report it as it will be handled by the admin.

    In the box where you are supposed to state the reason you are reporting, preferably just type something brief like, "Flaming", "Spam post", "Swearing", etc. Usually it's easy for the GamerX Team to find the reason why you reported it, except there would be something to explain more, but you stating it just makes it that much easier and quicker for the GamerX Team.

    Moderator's note:
    Please do not spam with the report feature, once a content has been reported, you should wait a Forum Moderator/Administrator to check it.
    If your report is being ignored for a long time, your report probably was invalid or not against the rules. If you have another question related to this, you can ask them by using visitor message, private message, or IRC.
