| | Steps for reporting abusive rep messages
Is it possible the mod's or admin's could please clarify what we should do, if we receive abusive content in rep messages please? Since these are hidden from view, and there's no button to report them, I think some guidance might help please.

Send a PM to all of the current mods. Rep comments are visible to them.
One of them will be able to deal with it for you if there is action that needs to be taken.

Bizarre.

Not sure that has much legal standing in RL ''Because things said in private stay private.''
but yes- report to Mods is the way to go.

Many of us do that, instead of trolling our moods out on all. ANd, funnily enough, those people don’t want to contribute to a ‘useful’ forum anymore.
Have a good life, as they say.

| | Re: Steps for reporting abusive rep messages
I just wanted to offer a friendly reminder that "rep" in an online forum doesn't really mean anything or have any real value.
I learned that the hard way when, years ago, I once tried to buy something at Migros with some "likes" that I had obtained via Facebook. I was shocked to find out that they don't have any actual value and you can't buy anything with them. | The following 11 users would like to thank Pancakes for this useful post: | |
