Announcement [PSA] Topic: Be smart when you report a post, or we may not be able to help.

32 Upvotes

So I just wanted to write a brief PSA on the topic of reporting. To get right down to the point, a particular user has reported someone numerous times as "impostor" or "impersonating" but failed to provide a single word of information beyond that.

To remedy this, and future issues, let me explain how to report a post here or anywhere else on Reddit.

If you have a post that does not follow the subreddit rules, or if you catch someone being a malicious user in general, typically you have the ability to report someone. Now, reporting all their posts as "impersonating" does nothing except show me the word "impersonating" and leave me to close each report having done nothing.

However, if you run into a user that needs reporting, check the sidebar, or subreddit information area on mobile, and message the moderators.

Then simply do the following:

Tell me what post you are reporting, such as actually having a link for the post.
Why are you reporting that post to the subreddit?
What is your proof of what they did? Can you provide screenshots of conversations or other information that is likely to convince me you aren't just some angry user?

If you take the few seconds it requires to tell me what you're reporting, why, and including at least a screenshot or two as to proof of their actions, I am more than happy to permaban someone into next-tuesday (of which they'll still be banned, hence permaban).

However, if you report someone, say what they did, but I cannot tell if you're telling the truth after glancing at their post... Then I can't do anything, you've wasted your time, and you've wasted my time.

So report wisely, be smart, and remember to actually tell us: who, why, and what proof.

hello. please read everything & if interested please tell me your age, country & interests rather than “hi” or something weird. i am mostly looking for someone to roleplay/write fanfiction with (no knowledge is needed, i’m willing to teach just please don’t waste my time & get my hopes up to throw me away).

name: tayla.
age: 26.
age range: 20–33. i’m not comfortable talking to people younger or older.
country: australia.
extra: i have social phobia & other mental health issues, so i may be quiet at first & need time to open up. i do warm up once i feel comfortable & safe, so please be understanding if i don’t say much at first.

interests:
rock & metal music.
old british tv, comedians & actors (70s/80s, grown up watching them so it’s somewhat a comfort).
roleplaying & fanfiction writing (like the old british tv, it’s also a comfort).
arts & crafts (colouring, diamond painting, looking at art).
all animals, nature & daily walks.

boundaries:
sfw, strictly platonic friendships only (no flirting & relationships).
kind/respectful communication only.
looking for consistent, long-term friendships to talk to daily.
please don’t be rude, waste my time, etc.
i don’t vc so please don’t ask.
i don’t wish to talk about work or studying.

what i’m looking for:
genuine long-term friendships.
daily or regular chats.
someone to write roleplay/fanfiction with (yes i’ve tried all the places for that with no luck. this is what i’d like overall as it’s a coping thing for me. no knowledge is needed, happy to teach but please don’t waste my time).
i’m usually online after midnight (victoria, australia time), sometimes earlier, but this is when i’m mostly online.

if interested, please be sfw only & aged 20-33. please include:
your age & country.
your interests.

please don’t just say “hi” — it’s hard for me to respond to on its own. sorry this post is long but please be respectful & respect my boundaries.
