I mean, if you can't figure out what to report and not report after eight months I don't think you'll ever figure it out. | ||

By the way these are completely speculative but I have no idea why you are complaining anyway. | ||

I just don't have access to the report button. I've PMed bad posts to mods several times over the past months, all of which have resulted in warnings, bans etc which I take as an indication they were legitimately awful. A mod even messaged me once to thank me for pointing out a post. I guess since I don't understand anything about TL, or reporting, I shouldn't have done that. By the way these are completely speculative but I have no idea why you are complaining anyway. Maybe because it makes it a pain in the ass to benefit the community? I guess if I were amazing at sc or had triple the free time there would be more ways I could do that, but you work with what you've got. | ||

 Thank you for helping us out but I don't think most March joinees would handle the privilege well. The fact that you go out of your way to PM mods shows that you're willing to put extra effort in, which is great but I think most people wouldn't (and don't).There is no optimal length of time for this kind of thing. Our choice is more exclusive, but it's done with purpose. | ||

I mean, if you can't figure out what to report and not report after eight months I don't think you'll ever figure it out. What about 7 months and 28 days, or 7 months and 27 days, or 6 months and 2 days? Obviously some people will pick it up faster than others, and others won't. One year is a rather easy baseline to go by for an automated system. It also gives the mods time to know YOUR name and trust your posts.

Like this one. No reason to cop an attitude about the lack of a button. Going down the martyr path tells me that your motives for the thread go beyond the good of the community. | ||

I can't report people with icons / red names / the new blue bars. Is there a reason for this? Not that I have an urge to go reporting you all, just curious | ||
