Flagging/Abuse button guidelines

iris427 · November 2013

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.

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.

Sorry about the formatting here, I will fix it when I get on a real computer.

Hi! I got flagged in the reaction to the news thread and I do not know why? Is there any way to reverse this?

@mizmami

Please read this post and flag only when appropriate. None of these were done to you in my post.

But a petty bitch? Lol

Question: something I wrote got marked as spam, but I don't see how it qualifies. I pm'd the person asking to remove it. No response. Do I have any other options? Thanks!

I don't think so & I haven't found it annoying enough to bother a mod enough to fix it. Our reputations are tarnished forever, welcome to the club.

I've heard a mod can remove them although I mean really...abuse points are a badge of honor on TB!

What are spam points then?? @dlsexton

yurmom · January 2014

No one really knows...just like real Spam

I accidentally flagged someone. On the mobile app the flag button is easy to accidentally hit.

Go back and live their post if you want to reverse it.

I agree the Flag button on mobile app can easily be hit. I accidentally hit it earlier, but then two other options came up. Of course I didn't click on either hoping message would not be flagged, but was worried I did flag the message. So I'm glad I read this form on how to reverse it if it happens again. On mobile app the Flag button needs to be 2nd or 3rd and maybe that will help with the accidental flagging!

So.... the flag I have for abuse is still chilling there. Does that go away at any point? I've learned to live with my spam flag. I'll just think of that one as a badge of honor, I suppose.
