Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 16, 20169 yr So sometimes we have annoying members that report content without saying anything (so we don't know whether it's a legitimate or founded report). Would be great to make it mandatory for members to add a comment when reporting something. It would save moderators some time, especially when report is about a file (which may be a document with lots of text).
March 16, 20169 yr Yes, please do add this as an option. It is incredibly annoying when a member reports something that they think is obvious, but isn't.
March 18, 20169 yr In the meantime you could change the language which may help: Optionally enter a message with your report. to: Please tell us what you are reporting. It is not always evident.

It is not always evident. Yeah, I'll do this for now, but I feel like it can't be that hard.
March 20, 20169 yr Management The counter argument for requiring a comment is, often it is evident and admins will be leery of making it an annoyance for members to report content as they may be less likely to do so. I know the next argument will be "make it a setting." Before we overthink this, would changing the verbiage help?

I know the next argument will be "make it a setting." Before we overthink this, would changing the verbiage help? Alternatively, why not make it really simple for members and let them pick from some presets (obviously configurable by the admin). Quote Spambot Needs moving Optionally select where it should be moved to Offensive or overly agressive Optionally add a message with your report Other Add a (mandatory) comment with your report That way, it's easy for members, but the staff get the information that they need. It would even be in a computer-legible format, so you could to things like adding a one click "move" button in the report if the member suggested that it should be moved somewhere else.
March 20, 20169 yr I think anything but a spambot should have an explanation. Maybe a checkbox below/above with "This is spam" which would disable the need for filling in the box.
