Hi all! Apparently there are a couple of Lemmy apps now where the “report” button is right next to the “share” button, and so we’ve been getting inundated with a bunch of reports that aren’t actually real. One of those apps defaults to putting no text in the box where you’re supposed to put in the reason for reporting, and the other one defaults to “Spam or Abuse”.
We don’t have the resources to go chasing down all bajillionty-twelve of those reports we’re getting on the off chance that one or two may be real, so for the time being any report with either nothing or “Spam or Abuse” in the subject line will be swept into the circular file, unless we can tell just by looking at the post and not clicking anything (no nsfw tag, obvious off-topic spam) that it’s a bad post.
Thanks!
Just to note, some apps also do not have a spot for text - it just sends the report immediately. Which is frustrating.
Maybe we could creare a “recommended apps” list and a “not recommended” list, citing “report is always blank” as a reason? Or, “report confused with share”
