***Flagging/abuse button guidelines***

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.

  • @linzerd I heard it's changing to anonymous... @L&R70707 can you confirm?
    We (mods) are waiting on confirmation/clarification about that....these guidelines were just given to us to C&P to our boards by Bump Jackie.

  • Wow that was quick! I guess @katienogy doesn't know how to read.

    Wow, flagging posts in a conversation you aren't even a part of...and the people you flagged didn't comment on your DDed posts. That's a new one!

    Im kinda curious whats up her butt since no one is being mean just having polite conversation. But hey heres a gif for her to flag.

    Looks like she really is trying to get herself banned. None of her flags make any sense but I guess that's the point.
  • She went flag happy on her post on TTGP. I'm thinking she's banned now. Or will soon be.
    Nope, not yet. I noticed that when someone gets banned their profile pic gets turned into a sign that says user banned or something like that.
  • ok yeah I just saw that she flagged mine too.  I'm so confused.  Where do I find out if I have an abuse point, somewhere on "my bump"?  Since I was so abusive by saying flags aren't anonymous!  So sorry for stating a point!!

  • Ok, that is just annoying! She gets banned for all of her stupid flags and then those flags aren't even taken down.

    Do the flags even mean anything anyway? If you get flagged for nothing and the mods take no action against you, do they really matter?

    oops, that really was an accident and I was afraid this would happen. I was trying to see how you know who flagged you, and I don't personally have any flags. So I clicked on you, because you said you had some. And then I was randomly clicking. SORRY!!! really. Those were an accident.

  • It's great going through the boards and still seeing people using the flag as a dislike button. Even after this had been posted for a few days now.. I guess certain drama queens haven't gotten the memo.

  • How do you delete a whole post? I don't want to flag anyone but I am going to if complete rudeness and attacking of others don't stop. I just want my posts to be a positive outlet. I am ok with women being blunt and honest but when I begin to feel them out of line I want to flag but instead I rather delete my post. Can you tell me how?
  • ??? What are the points? I have 9 points, 2 ♥`s & 0 abuse & spam :) please help!!
  • ??? What are the points? I have 9 points, 2 ♥`s & 0 abuse & spam :) please help!!

    Points are just from activity level....I honestly am not sure exact point accumulation per post and reply.  I think they might come from "love its" too, which are just people saying they love what you wrote, as well as how often you are tagged....like this @ExpectingBlessing2009

    L&R, thank you so much for taking care of that. I really appreciate it, and I'm grateful that the post about my son is no longer flagged. It's the only one that's ever really bothered me. Thank you. :x


    Not a problem.  I am glad we are able to reverse flag abuse now.

  • How is the moderator chosen?

    Different methods depending on the board.  Generally they try to go with members that have been around a while and know the ropes.  Sometimes existing moderators make recommendations for their replacement before "retiring", sometimes a poll is put up and active members make suggestions.  Either way all applicants are reviewed by bump staff and they make the final decisions.

    @WashingtonQueen - the flag is there for users/members to report abusive behavior.

    It looks like everyone's opinion of abusive behavior is a bit different, which is fine and I understand.
    My definition of abusive behavior led me to mark those flags.
    If that is not how The Bump defines abusive behavior, than I am more than happy to discuss it with them and explain to them why I felt it was abusive behavior.

    For some reason you all think I'm randomly marking flags or have some secret vendetta.
    No vendetta and not random.
    I honestly felt these were flag-worthy.
    You can go ahead and ask them to be reviewed and if the moderators feel they weren't flag-worthy, than that's fine.

    However, I shouldn't be banned because I flagged something (or several items) I felt were abusive. 

    and for the terms of use, here is a quote:

    "No strong, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise harmful language."

    All of the comments I flagged I felt were in direct violation of this rule.  Maybe you guys don't consider the same things strong, vulgar, obscene or harmful that I do, but I was raised that swearing at people, calling them names, and making statements for no other reason than to upset them falls into this category.

    Oh boy. My advice for you is to find another forum which offers the type of support you are looking for. You obviously aren't going to find it here.

  • This flagging crap is getting ridiculous. Newbies have to wait to post for 2 days but they can flag whatever they want while waiting? It sure looks like a lot of AE accounts are being made just to false flag.
  • Oh thanks I was wondering about that too. 
  • While scrolling on my phone I think I accidentally just flagged someone's post...irony much? I am SO sorry! I did not mean to!

    If you know which post it is you can go back and hit the button again to remove the flag.
  • I think it's sad and ironic that this WashingtonQueen person has been flagged on several different posts/forums and she still isn't banned! She is incredibly hateful and is attacking!! But she threatens me with being banned for flagging her? Ha! Y'all need to look into this troll!

    Ahhh thanks for the laugh. I needed that.
    You are absolutely insane if you think Wash is a troll.
