What's your _iew on the report button and the sometimes abuse of it that takes place on this site?

Or are you firm believer in that if the broken even small rule on site should be reported because we see alot of people men women couples and TV get away with alot of things that should be reported personally me I grew up in scheme and reporting is stitching. But recently have been opening up to idea of if I consider it wrong report and block people but I doing that our block list is massive and for small minor things taht we are off put by people and how they break or skirt the rules .

Anyway rant over just wondered your opinions

I think it probably does get abused, but that is the risk of social media. I do think it requires more oversight, and perhaps an appeals process.

Some people report to be vindictive. I have also seen some female friends have their accounts randomly banned as well, with no idea why

Yeah it's absolutely something that happens.

I suppose the biggest issue with instituting a fairer system would be that of manpower. More people would need to do it, and that would increase the cost. And for all of fabs faults it is brilliantly cheap.

I had a message from admin not long back saying they'd received multiple reports of breaking a rule I definitely haven't broken giving me 24 hours to respond or be banned. So fuck whoever decided to mass report me for something that didn't happen just for not being interested in them.

But, I was given chance to respond and I appreciate them trying to uphold both laws and the rules of the site.

And I do hit report as well as block when someone sends me something about blatantly illegal acts.

Depends on the resource that they have available, and how everything is monitored. I would hope they have a system in place that flags too many reports in a short amount of time, but really I have no idea.

This isn't about me personally I just wondered how broken the report system was as yesterday I saw a fourm thread vanish while being I'm full swing and was wondering was this result of the internal system of just report anything bad on this site as I was told my 1st year here which was 12 years ago,

2n the bust up happen with a Group I posted the group runners government name yes but also was because she was using thos app to syfine of people to her own group thus efficiently breaking the rule too

Now instead of me being the person I am now and just reporting and blocking her I ousted her for what she was doing and they then mass reported us,

That was in the past don't really care about them now as we just block and move on..

My thread was about exposing the use of this button and if it hold more power over website than everyone thinks ...

I'm think of doing a test where I post a forum that is all above board have comments on it and for research purposes just spam report the comments to see if the full thread gets taken down without human checks etc ..

As at least in theory would show there no one I. Report of complainsy department and is all automated or when something of a certain nature is claimed etc etc

The system isn't perfect but no reporting system is.

No, you're assuming there was some sort of mass reporting. It's more likely you were banned for publicly naming her which is against site rules (and rightly so).

Admin decide whether to ban someone. It isn't automated. Reporting someone doesn't automatically result in a ban, no matter how many people do the reporting.

Posts and sometimes full threads are removed if they contravene forum rules

It would be useful if Admin when suspending you from posting in the Forum actually indicated which message was considered to be in breach of the site rules.

Sometimes it is obvious when the thread has your posts removed or the thread gets closed by admin, but other times I must admit I am completely puzzled (and just assume there are some sensitive wee souls out there without a sense of humour).

I do agree with reporting people, not aware of it being abused, and was interested in Prey's comment about being given time to respond to complaints (that to me sounds like the system works well).

We thank you for your opinion. All opinions are valid and welcomed. This tread was supposed to be about the report system and how it actual works. Is there actual human interaction when you report. Can you get stuff taken down. And if so how can this not be used as weaponised.

We hope you keep that same energy with the people that you have verified and been verified with you cause we know some of those has broke the rules. (some of the people you have verified have gotten people off of here to go to their own platform to join their groups. So is that not breaking rules? Are we not allowed to say/report when they’re breaking the rules) - female

The example you give is of omit working perfectly and tbh imo you should have been banned permanently.

The system isn't perfect but no reporting system is.

Doing tests such as you suggest on it just means adding work to voluntary moderators and is pointless.

So you belief is that if anyone has done something on this site it’s okay but if we’re pointing something out and stating that someone broke the rules on here we’re the ones that should have been banned? So do you believe that most people that are breaking the rules should be banned or just us? - female

I've no idea what the other person did, and they aren't here to give their version. So I can't comment.

But ya someone who outs another's realname without permission put of spite should be banned regardless of who they are - male

We thank you for your opinion. All opinions are valid and welcomed. This tread was supposed to be about the report system and how it actual works. Is there actual human interaction when you report. Can you get stuff taken down. And if so how can this not be used as weaponised.

We hope you keep that same energy with the people that you have verified and been verified with you cause we know some of those has broke the rules. (some of the people you have verified have gotten people off of here to go to their own platform to join their groups. So is that not breaking rules? Are we not allowed to say/report when they’re breaking the rules) - female "

I was confused before but now you are telling someone who doesn't have any verifications that the people they have verified and are verified by are guilty of getting people to join some online group?

What people? He isn't verified by anyone?

How do you know who he has verified? He is not displaying a verification list.

If he was then you would be likely to be breaking the site rules as you are making accusations about people on the site which cannot be readily substantiated, and if it was the case you should be using the 'report' button that you are discussing.

Only time I report is if I've received abuse or found a fake profile I don't get why someone would abuse that function

I believe that anyone who does tend to abuse the report function should also receive appropriate actions, like any other deemed fit as I'm sure the staff have enough to deal with genuine reports

Cool down period, something to think about

"I think it probably does get abused, but that is the risk of social media. I do think it requires more oversight, and perhaps an appeals process.

Some people report to be vindictive. I have also seen some female friends have their accounts randomly banned as well, with no idea why

We got mass reproted one time for saying someone's government name and they just spam reported us untill the profile got banned

How do you know?

How do we know what that the people reported us well don't have 100% intell only know taht we had a bust up with group and then said on status and nxt day full account gone so we just took it as that's was reported ,

So you had a bust up with someone and then used their real name in a public post? Am I reading that correctly?

This isn't about me personally I just wondered how broken the report system was as yesterday I saw a fourm thread vanish while being I'm full swing and was wondering was this result of the internal system of just report anything bad on this site as I was told my 1st year here which was 12 years ago,

2n the bust up happen with a Group I posted the group runners government name yes but also was because she was using thos app to syfine of people to her own group thus efficiently breaking the rule too

Now instead of me being the person I am now and just reporting and blocking her I ousted her for what she was doing and they then mass reported us,

That was in the past don't really care about them now as we just block and move on..

My thread was about exposing the use of this button and if it hold more power over website than everyone thinks ...

I'm think of doing a test where I post a forum that is all above board have comments on it and for research purposes just spam report the comments to see if the full thread gets taken down without human checks etc ..

As at least in theory would show there no one I. Report of complainsy department and is all automated or when something of a certain nature is claimed etc etc

Just really wondering who is the final judge etc on what is banded and not?

Or as I said at the start is it just a culture on this site that if yiu don't like it report it block it and move on

We used the report button once, when we had concerns about an account that seemed fake, and which was showing the full name and pictures of a woman who potentially had not consented to being on a profile. (The reason for our concern was that the profile had been set up on her behalf by a male, allegedly for her to be publicly degraded).

Although we received no feedback on our report, the profile disappeared within 24 hours, as did the profile of the man who verified the account (which had an online presence of less than a week).

If not abused, the report button is useful. Good to hear that people get 24 hours to respond. The block button is far more useful.

With the amount of scammers, opportunist exploiters, OF advertisers & pr0stitutes, stalkers & other unsavoury characters using this site 👀

We definitely need the Report Button! Yes it’s wrongfully used sometimes which isn’t right but overall it’s more beneficial to improving the site & ing out the bad apples 🍎

I can't imagine what an appalling human being must be to use someone's real name on Fab as part of an argument. Should have been a complete and permanent ban in my _iew.

To use a persons real name in a public status is terrible behaviour you never know what kind of person could use that as against them and you have no right to compromise someone’s safety no matter what’s happened outside of Fab and there is always more than one side of a story but you using public names kind of paints a story

Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports.

******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above).

Every single report sent via the REPORT link is re_iewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported.

Admin

PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day.

Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted:

--

Your feedback has been saved.

A website admin will shortly re_iew your feedback and take the necessary action. After re_iewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning.

By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.******

In reply to the above post I have quoted...this is exactly what happens and sounds as if it did. Some people come back and once seen or they out themselves then they are disabled again.

Admin really do come down on the likes of this with good reason.
