I dunno if "whining" is the term that I wan to use, cause i don't know how to speak english that well.

What I would like to ask is : if I report for bad post many times, will I be some sort of ... i don't know the exact term, well, it's "a guy that is allways saying what the others do wrong"... so will I be one of that guys?
Do you want that users report bad posts, or sometimes reports of "spam", or something, are useless? Do you guys appreciate the reports?

Thanks. :E
 
We love reports, we can't always be everywhere. We're working on that though :)
 
This ain't school.... :|

Nothing wrong with reporting post all the time...Also the real term is "narcing" (sp?), but like I said this ain't school.

I said I reported a post in one of BigBot's threads and then he game me a hate PM :laugh: I reported that too :p
 
Migas, I believe the term you are looking for is "tattle-tale". That's the English idiom for what you described: Someone who is always telling what others are doing.

Tattle-Tale would be the term if you were about six...
Nark would be the more universal term for it

Reporting people for posting generally useless posts is retarded and just gets people in trouble
Now if someone makes a new thread thats absolutely pointless; thatd be different

ionno, just stay outta offtopic so ya dont get me in trouble :thumbs:

I stay outta general hl2 discussion; the mods are jerks.
 
I stay out of hl2 general...well because there is to many trolls and dumbasses in there.

Hmmmmm....like going around making flaming and trying to start shit I guess.

Say you start a thread and you say...

"omg hl2 sucks ass so much and so does steam...steam never works so valve can kiss my ass" or something of that nature.

Thats trolling.
 
Hm...
Someone made a post.. and it was a link to a picture of random buildings...
I didnt get it, so i asked what about it was so amazing
(Cuz i wanted to know..)
Then i pointed out how the bouncy frog is waaaaay more amazing than buildings.... (You prolly saw it, it was in off topic)
 
Well take it up with munro or somethin...I don't think you should've got in trouble for somethin like that.

Trolling is any comment designed to provoke flames.
If you have an issue with a mod, use the PM system, not the general forum.

I did that, he responded with a smart ass comment, then ignored anymore inquiries....

I did read it, and I'd like to point out that it is the job of a moderator to judge what does and does not constitute flame-bait (trolling) in the forum. There is definitely no time for a "trial by mob" type system of judgement here and hence mods exist.

also, the "I hate mods" attitude isn't too dissimilar from say, an "I hate cops" attitude, and it wont get you far when you actually do want help, we're people too you know.

If one mod is treating you unfairly, then speak to a different mod about it.

EDIT: This thread seems to have served its purpose anyway, and its just drifting OT
