Title: Reporting abuse?
Post by: Aine on April 22, 2009, 10:37:14 PM

Hi Mods,

I know it's probably crazy busy here with the massive influx of TC related new posters, but I was wondering if there was a place to read up on what constitutes 'abuse'?  And what, really, we need to be reporting to you all?  I don't want to bug you with a situation that, while might be obnoxious to some, isn't technically against the rules. 

Is 'abuse' a "know it when you see it" type of thing or is there something to go by? 

Thanks and sorry for the imposition.

If you aren't sure, click the 'report to moderator' link on the post. One of us will check it out and make a judgment call.  We don't act on every report we get, but we do examine each circumstance.

Mmm, there's been one or two newcomers who've come off as know-it-alls, and one person who used a couple expletives in a heated discussion. Nothing bannable, but certainly worth a "hey, watch it, grasshopper".
