Forum changes - do we need a forum wipe?

False reporting should be punished to discourage the practice

Except, there is no such thing as false flagging. And people should not be punished for being wrong if they flagged someone, as Vrakthis has stated, and here, for a requote:

@Vrakthris

Players may report a thread if they feel that it violates our Code of Conduct/Forum Guidelines. We do not penalize them if they are wrong as we do not wish to discourage players from helping their community by reporting bad posts.

What is punishable though is mass flagging, in which is by switching between alts to flag down the same post over and over again.

@Vrakthris

That said, using multiple alts to report a post, abusing the reporting system that we have in place is absolutely a violation of our policies.

@Vrakthris

No, abuse of the reporting option would be if someone is using multiple characters or accounts to report a post. Simply reporting a post because they feel it may violate forum policies isn’t abuse.

They may not be correct in their assessment, but being wrong isn’t abuse.

Sorry Vrak.
