Abuse!!??

I have an "Abuse" thingie on my wall!!  I haven't abused anyone that I know of.......If I have, I need clarification on that, or please someone tell me how to get that off there!!  I am a good person, usually of few words, but I agree with what I consider to be right and cut to the chase on most things........Any thoughts on this, and what I can do?

Comments

  • I wonder if people were getting "flag happy" on that other discussion. You did nothing wrong that I saw. Maybe contact CM Popeye and/or Latten for clarification.

    Where it says abuse, you can click on that to see which post was flagged as abuse. I think the flagging feature gets misused a lot. :/

    Yes - I've been flagged twice for spam (on a message board??).  I think there are a lot of children out there making mischief.  Some of them may actually be children.

    Me and another people was flagged today in this post:

    do you see this normal? I think the moderator should look this such of abuse more closer, I don't think that who is putting them is a kid...the person that is doing knows very well to who they are flagging, and I think I know who it is too.
  • I once was flagged for spam for simply telling someone that my age and location was none of his business.  Let it roll off your back and realize when you are having a battle of wits with an unarmed person they will use whatever weapons are at their disposal. :D

    LOL I agree @Cookiie4me (US1)  I have been flagged for spam too, and it was not spam. I just put it down to some people just don't know what flagging is.

    That's the perfect example of the flag feature being misused! People go around flagging posts either because they disagree with them or for no reason at all! This needs to stop! A new person joins the forum & gets flagged for spam, really?! Is that how we should treat others....NO! We should welcome them here & offer help so that they can have an enjoyable game experience.

    The flagging feature is for flagging posts that shouldn't be seen by others to hide them until a CM or Mod comes online to take care of it. Flagging people just because you disagree with them or they got under your skin is not cool. The flagging feature is to protect others from seeing inappropriate content not for having a flagging party. 

    Misuse of the flagging feature is against the rules and the CMs can see who's doing it so you might want to be careful. Here's a bit from the Community Guidelines....

    Respect Others
    Discussions may come to disagreements, which is completely fine, but these disagreements turning to attacks or derogatory comments against others will not be tolerated in our forums.
    Posts or comments made with the intention of attacking or demeaning another player due to their opinion, language/spelling, gender, sexuality, religion or person as a whole will be punished.
    Other points that will not be tolerated include (but are not exclusive to):
    • Inconsiderate or discriminative behavior towards other players (insults, defamtory remarks, threats, harassment, vulgarities, obscene or violent content, racism or offensive behaviour towards other countries or cultures)
    • Propaganda and petitions
    • Abuse of the flagging function
    • Other inappropriate, offensive or provocative behavior

    Now let's try to have civilized discussions without flagging each other for no real reason. Some of you may remember we actually did that on the old forum. Those were the good ol' days! Let's come together as a community, respect each other and create a friendly environment for all. I have made many friends here on the forums and I know others will too. We just need to communicate with each other or don't without hiding behind a button. Its ok to disagree with each other at times. Let's talk it out without flagging. :) 

    Just to be crystal clear here, I'm not talking about posts that are actually spam or abuse. I'm talking about the ones that aren't. Take a look around the forum and its pretty easy to see which ones they are.

    Have a great day & happy farming! :) Love you guys! :heart:

    Looks like it was indeed just people misusing the buttons. I have gone ahead and removed the flags @SophiaLorraine (US1)

    Total agree wit yoy @jess_d (US1)  :) and nice post too. Thank you
  • Hi Popeye, how about removing mine!  There was certainly no abuse on my part too, perhaps a bit of ignorance in getting used to and using the new forum, but some repeatedly flagged me "abuse" in the same posted forum in looking for coop members.  I was even flagged for making a suggestion... perhaps the forum police thought I posted that in the wrong place to (suggestions can go in feedback, right?!), they wouldn't show their face and explain why it was flagged. 

    There was no intentional abuse, and if anything there was abuse of the flag button! :smile: 

    Thank you!

    @Thirtyplus (US1) I nly see these flags once you get a certain amount, so I wasn't aware they were there. I removed the ones I saw just now though ;) Have a great day!

    Hoping you have a very blessed day!!  :smiley:

    total agree Sophia, there are some "folk"  that like to take attention ... and probabilly the only way he has is putting flags everywhere without a reason ;)
    This person should use his time working in his farm and coop ;)
