At Jabbas request I've coded a new feature that allows you to report bad posts - ie spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

You might have noticed the http://www.jabbasworld.net/images/report.gif that now appears in every post, just click on that to report the post.

Not bad, good feature. This will help sort out a lot of crap.

Definitely help differentiate quality post and SPAM.

Thanks!

Good feature :!:

Saw some members again this week who weren't pretty good for quailty posts, probably just leechers.

lets see whos the first to abuse this!!

and what justifies as a bad post??

The main violation in the last couple of days has been (and resulted in two people being banned)

Violation of rule 1 (under site rules)

"Posting prohibited links to all 5th Gear or Top Gear vids (features or complete episodes) and anything else that is featured in the sites video vault or near identical to it, (gumball, bullrun episodes etc.)"

We are not so bothered about older stuff but anything from 2006 clearly isnt acceptable.

That wouldn't be a good or clever thing to do and would result in an immediate ban.

No one is going to get banned without at least one warning, just like the last two guys got before they got banned.

To be honest its more for people posting links to videos that they shouldn't be, as this has been happening more and more as of late.

Nah, nothing really serious goes on in there. Just politics butting heads.

if I promote a 400+Mb BullRun video hosted on [X]acingFlix.com here, would this be a bad post :mrgreen:



edit: :shock: wasn't even able to post that site name

Good idea, I just hope it doesnt get abused... maybe to only allow it to a certain group of people?
