Our online host is now nothing but one of the thousands of boards that colorful characters browse in their free time, to get their jollies by bothering innocent people. Therefore, the expected amount of spam, flaming, and abuse is considerably higher than at our previous, privately hosted home.
We are the only protection we have as far as dealing with such individuals, and as such I urge you to adhere to the following procedure in the event of the violation of our rules.
First and foremost: Do NOT attempt to report the abuse to Proboards![/u][/b] Prior experience has taught me that they have a very clean-cut method of dealing with abuse; cleanly cut all the board's content!
In the event that a user makes an abusive post, do not reply to the post in any way. Continue conversation as if the post had not been made; replying to such people only lets them know that you will play their game.
PM me, RandomHero, or one of our global moderators. (They can be found using the "staff" filter on the Members list.) Please include the offending poster's username, the board thread name, and a brief summary of the exchange in question. In most cases, I or another staff member will be available to review the report and take action that very same day.
PLEASE REPORT ALL ABUSE, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET. If everyone takes the stance that "someone else will do it," then no one will. I would much rather have a flooded inbox than be unaware of abuse from boards I may not frequently browse myself.
