fables22: You're right, but so is Tauto in saying reporting can also be abused. I got requests to perm ban people on my first day, without actually knowing who I'm supposed to be banning and why. That's not fair either.
MarkoH01: That's why I said GOG should look into such reports. Of course it's not correct to simply ban anybody just because another said so. In most cases however people will be able to provide some proof of why such people should be banned. No ban without proof and everybody is innocent until proven guilty. It's quite simple imo. But great to hear that you are really planning to revamt the rep system which basically is not a bad idea just the way it works now is not so great.
Also I think it's great that you, fables22 are so often here. It really shows that you care and that you really want the feedback. I would give you +1 if I could :)
Tauto: rules the person should not be downrepped but reported to the GOG stuff who then really should look into the matter if they should receive multiple reports.
That can be abused also,just ask fables how many cryers he got the first day about me.
MarkoH01: I know Tauto that you and I are thinking the same regarding false bans or false accusations (at least I do think so). I don't want anybody to be marked as a bad person or even banned just because another one said so. I just want GOG to LOOK into the matter and see if there is actual proof for the report. In most cases there ist. Seomtimes if there is no proof you simply can't do anything against to prevent that innocent people will be punished but it's still much better than the actual way.
Yea, of course. People should still be able to report posts as spam to alert us to dangerous and/or offensive content. But it can't get deleted automatically, because then we look for proof that's not there. I'm glad you agree.
