HackThisSite.org News: Report Comment Abuse

I've noticed that people have been abusing the 'Report Comment' functionality lately, so, I've made this post to kindly ask those doing such to stop. This functionality was added to make sure inappropriate comments are kept off the site, and not to make Moderators and Developers go through thousands of normal comments.

I've gone through the 2897 or so backed up comments and cleared them out yesterday, and less than 20 of those were actually bad material. From now on if you're going to report a comment falsely, you will be warned or other actions will be taken. (This does not apply if you truly feel the comment needs to be reviewed by staff.)

<Monica> And point out the "red flag".

^ Yes, it's that little red flag on every comment.
