Ok if we’re not getting the infractions thread, can we get this please @ Josy

No because again other members infractions are no one else's business but thiers

But how are we meant to know if anything was done about our complaint?

How are we supposed to know that the report function is successful and that we are being listened to if we can’t see the results?

Unless the mods just don’t want us to use the report function

i find ( and i have some infraction experience) its a catch all term to hit someone who is getting lots of reports but inst breaking rules

imo

Trolling - posting comments and or threads in an attempt to deliberately cause offense, trouble, get a negative rise out of other members or disrupt the forum.

Baiting - deliberately posted comments and or threads designed to annoy/harass/anger other members

Anways I don’t see the point for the suggestion section if it’s never used even with most members wanting it I-

All reports are checked, if the mod checking it feels it needs dealt with then it gets done, not all reports are for things that break the forum rules for example sometimes members will happily ignore a rule break by a friend in a thread yet report the very next post that isnt actually a rule break because it was posted by someone they dont get along with.

We also get some daft reports for example

'RileyH - this bitch needs banned' for something completely innocent that does not need banned or even reported in the first place, it wastes our time.

If we can’t have report updates can we know who said that please

I know, but I think blurry is trying to say how is he meant to know if the person he complained about got anything done with the mods?

Actually it is, when something we feel benefits the forum is suggested and can be added it is, smileys are added from this forum, profile favourites, I've added some bbcode that was suggested that's just off the top of my head, but I've also pointed out many many times that not everything that is suggested is good for or suitable for the forum

I personally think a like/reaction button would be good for the forum but it's really not as simple as some think like going into the control panel and clicking a button, James has added a lot of mods to this forum and he writes a lot of code himself so when adding new things they need to be sourced first and he then a lot of the time has to rewrite the code so it doesnt affect other mods negatively.

In all honesty the only good I can see this doing is that it might discourage people from breaking rules so they don't have their dirty laundry aired all around the forum, but at what cost? Like especially after time and after people change, there's always gonna be that infractions thread detailing all the bad things they've done that can be used against them (i.e. "I'm NICE!!!" followed up by "well if you're so nice why did you slutshame RileyH in 2018 :/")

Plus it kinda opens up a bit of criticism to the mods because there's always gonna be a blurred line with "baiting" in which it can always be argued something isn't baity which just contributes more to "mods are biased!!!"

Like I think it's a good idea in theory but it does sort of compromise privacy and... for what? Even if it did discourage people from breaking rules, there'd still be some people who'd do it anyway because they couldn't care if there's a post on the forum describing their rule-breaking briefly that would eventually get buried posts upon posts (while also all other infractions being accessible to those who don't want them public)

tl;dr i'd be up for it but it doesn't seem practical and it'd probably cause more issues than problems it could potentially solve

Not baiting at all.
Simply disagree with you that situation you describe would arise

If infractions are nobody else’s business how comes my recent one seemed to be public knowledge?
