I may have made a post similar to this previously, but if so, well, it needs (imo) to be said again.
What spam is:
Posts should ***only*** be report as SPAM if they:
- link to other sites without contributing meaningfully to the thread or forum
- claim to offer online employment or chances to make money
- contain pornographic, commercial, or pharmaceutical drug-related content
What spam IS NOT:
Spam is not anything that you find objectionable and want to have deleted. Deleting something as spam that is not spam is abuse of the spam feature, STOP DOING IT!
What drama is:
A topic should only be flagged as drama if:
- The conversation should be moved out of the main forums and into The Drama Corner because it has deteriorated into name-calling, verbal abuse, accusations of faking an identity, and/or other forms of cat-fighting
You SHOULD flag a thread as drama when the above happens. That's what drama is. Just because it doesn't bother you, if it falls into those categories, FLAG IT AS DRAMA.
Misuse of these things makes the bureaucrat in me hate you with the fire of a thousand suns. This in turn makes my head explode, and get brain all over this loverly forum. If you don't want to be covered in globs of cerebrum and cerebellum, please learn what these functions are and use them accordingly.
Thank you.
