Reporting messages

When reporting a message, one gets the following from the drop-down menu:
  • The reported message has the only purpose to advertise for a website or another product.
  • The message contains links to illegal or pirated software.
  • The reported message is off topic.
  • The reported message does not fit into any other category, please use the further information field.
May I suggest, if possible, some additions to this list? Some of these are just different wordings, and they're all general ideas for a template and not to be used verbatim.
  • The reported message may be of questionable content (e.g. comes across as pedophilia).
  • The reported message directs abuse at people.
  • The reported message is in direct violation of site rules.

I'd go with that but, being Mr. Picky, may I suggest:

The reported message contains questionable content

The message is abusive

Third point stands.

This has been done. I honestly didn't realize that you could do that with phpBB. I never really gave it much of a second thought until your brought it up. Hopefully this will make it easier to fill out reports as well as help mods understand reports better.

Thanks [mention]chadmc90[/mention]. [mention]Xtc[/mention] can tell you back on the old board we had one that read "You are a douche" as the reason to report the post.
