[Suggestion] Report Feature

It is being brought up several times in this thread so I figured I would make a formal request.

Since we can no longer 'thumb down' comments and remove them from view- we need some kind of report feature to prevent abuse and flaming in the comments.


quote Redemption
  • a "report" feature for truly troublesome posts.
A feature of this nature would help situations such as the one involving Hawkman and Gothic Girl from being resolved before they get out of hand.

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

Behind you 100%. We've been needing this well before we took out the thumbs down though I think Tekmosis and Redemption are already working on this.

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

Did any of you even read the first message in that thread?

quote Xenctuary
Troublesome comments would be handled through a report feature that has no affect upon the comment itself until a moderator has seen to it.

[...]

Does anyone have any further suggestions for such a change, or even any issues with it?
It may be easier to keep the entire discussion in one place, instead of branching it out to separate threads.

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

Xenc, with all due respect, there are so many different things going on in there- I think we might be better off having a more specific discussion on this feature itself.

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

I think a separate request adds weight to the need for such a feature, and I've instructed tekmo that a report feature is one of our highest priorities as soon as he completes what he's working on. We're thinking of a 2 stage reporting system similar to what the forums currently use, and giving Approvers/Moderators the ability to unreport, and delete reported comments.

The tone of some comments completely deviates from the ideals of behaviour that we try to attain on Neoseeker, and I think in the forums it would be alot harder to get away with some of what people are doing on GG, which is another reason I'd like to see not only a reporting feature but an actual active moderation of comments by the community and the Moderators/Approvers. At the same time we want to keep GG comments as open as possible, so working out a balance is going to be a learning process.

Its fine to disagree with one another and offer even very critical commentary on something, but it does get taken too far, and its something we are prioritising.

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

TBH I felt this was needed on gamegrep for a long time, I felt the thumbs down seemed to be a weak report feature at its core. This would be perfect since I've brought this up before and it would seem best to see this implemented in the foreseeable future.

You're not going to like what I'm going to say then, since thumbs down would make a return at some point now that we've implemented a reporting feature - it would be reworked, but essentially now that people can report a truly offensive post rather than thumbing it down, our hope is that the thumbs down concept can be used for what it was intended.

Hallelujah! Where's the Tylenol?!

Will the thumbs feature now operate similar to the +/- feature on Digg and other social news sites?

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

I think we liked the suggestion Gothic Girl had about +/- used on Joystiq. You can't go below "0", the real question is whether to start at 0 or something else.

Bah, this is the first i've been on gamegrep for a week or so. I don't think the thumbs are really needed on gamegrep. But whatever. I'm probably not going to do much activity on gamegrep though.

I think we should have a thumbs down system like you said. And make it start on 0.

If anyone complains I'll shoot them myself for being so sensitive

re: [Suggestion] Report Feature

If we cannot go below 0, the how are we going to tell whether or not a comment should be below the viewing threshold and removed from view? Surely the report system wouldn't take its place there would it?
We shouldn't have people reporting inane posts just to take them out of view- reported posts should be for rule breaking. Some kind of comment rating system should be used to keep one stupid one-liners or internet memes voted down, (which usually isn't a problem, but still its a step in the direction of self governing that is typical of social news websites.
