* * * Flagging Guidelines * * *

TJ1979 · August 2013

Hey girls. I know we haven't had any issues on this board with flagging. But in case you frequent other boards that may be snarkier, here are some guidelines to the usage of the new flag button. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll keep this up for a week or two, then let it float away.

So, what's up with the "flag" button?

All members will have the ability to anonymously report posts that will now come directly to both moderator and admin attention. Keep in mind that we will review and take appropriate actions. This flagging option is NOT to be used as a “dislike” button or on posts that may disagree with you, etc.

The Bump will keep records of all reported posts and handle abusers of this flagging privilege individually.

In addition to flagged posts, we will continue to address any violations of our Community Rules. Review them here.

What should I flag?:

Spam- Any posts advertising services

Harassment- If you feel a user is harassing a member to an extreme level.

Online Vandalism- Posts designed to raise a user’s post count.

Personal Information- Any post where a person’s personal information is being given without their consent. This includes name, telephone number, address, email address, work information, etc.

Impersonating Other Members/The Bump Employees- Any username designed to be a copy of another user’s name or Knot Employee.

An obvious violation of the Community Rules should also be flagged.

Thanks for being such an awesome board!
