Report this post ?

Today I just noticed a link at the bottom of posts that says "report this post". I became level 2 two days ago, and am wondering if this is new to level 2 users, or if it is new to all users as of today (march 1st). I didn't notice this yesterday, but I have been known to miss things...

Hi maciscool,
(I agree with your name
Yes, this ancient feature was disabled until last week, that's why you didn't notice it.
Also, I'm not sure it is available to Level 1 members.

"Report this Post" Messages Bounced to Email

The last two times I used the "Report this Post" link the messages bounced back to my email address from a third-party server. I don't know if the problem resulted from a misconfigured co-location server or Apple's mail server, or if it was the result of an iframe injection or other cross-site scripting attack. I sent several messages directly to Apple about this but have not received a response. Has anyone else experienced this?

2006-Apr-25 "Report this post" change...

Hello, friends,
I noticed last evening (MDT in U.S.) that a "report this post" link has begun to appear on threads.
(I'm "L3.")
Personally, I'd seldom used the function when 'twas granted in the previous edition of Apple Discussions. So, for clarity, I presume its intent is to facilitate communicating egregious instances of misbehavior that don't comply with the Use Agreement...?
Thanks to Apple folks for returning this function, which I'd read had been "in the works" for some time. Are there any other "new" functions that I missed — or anything similar on the "to-do" list?
Thanks again,
Dean

Btw, I intermittently request that a Host "wrap" (or "fold," as you put it, Brian Z.) a post within a thread that's become difficult to read. Would that also be considered appropriate to "report this post," or would a stand-alone message be preferable
In my experience, the Hosts generally prefer that any issue that they need to decide upon is brought to their attention using the 'Report this post' link. That would include wraps and folds and other formatting issues; perceived violations of the ToU; posts that need to be moved; duplicate posts, etc. Use the "Optional Reason" field to draw their attention to the specific issue you are concerned with.

Just Wondering....Report this Post?

Hello,
Just today, I noticed below everyone's post, there is 'Report This Post' button.
What is that for?
Silly question, but I was just wondering.
Thanks.
C h r i s t o p h

Hi Christoph *
The report this post button is for reporting inappropriate content or posts that violate the ToU (http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa).
You are seeing this because you have reached level 2 on these forums (more info about levels in ToU documentation). You are now also able to post in the User tips library (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=599)

"Report this post" has disappeared just when I need it

I think the moderators should take a look at this - this guy's threads seem to start of sensibly enough before deteriorating into paranoia.
AK

Not all people have lost the button.
However, you have posted to the right location if you felt a thread required reporting.
Austin,
I don't think your thread needs reporting so much as someone to clarify that what has happened is not a hack, but rather a misunderstanding of how network updates can fail. It is possible they have a bad router, or a bad routing software that doesn't work with their system, or both have decided to turn on a routing setting that blocks software update, or they have an internet service provider that has blocked the right port.
It would seem one poster jumped to conclusions, and the other is just not able to post as frequently as the other would desire.

"Report this post" still for level4/where are "points"?

a privilege of level4 was to report the "abuse" of the forum; that option is still availabe only for level4 gurus.. but we don't have anymore any levels... (??)
in term of use, I do read an explination of "points", but MyProfile doesn't display any such "points"....
that is a kind of inconsistency, isn't it...?

Hi Tom,
thanks for your profound statement...- but... (<<in the iM's forums I'm well known for my buts... single t):
software has to fullfill many standards; at first that of the IT dept, who has to handle it on a daily/minute basis... but there's another group of followers: the users (user alarm!!)... I studied a long time ago "communications" (whatever that means).... so, my dimensions are not server-load, perfomance, bandwidth etc, but usability, simplicity, content, et al.
my O.P. concernd the point/level thing... I complained the lost of level-indicators, because I'm used to use them as quality indicators; that's why I wrote never change..., because changing something, I experienced as reliable & good is just "allowed" by something "better"... which I haven't found yet, even more, the level systems still works in some "stealth mode", isn't transparent for the average user as me......
your statement/background info touches the p.o.v. of an engineer... who has to hold a system stable with 100k of users, 24/d, with zillions of posts... chapéau for that!.... my Qs is from the the other side's p.o.v....
that's no critic against you, Tom, .. I just hoped for some "commend about future products"....

"Report this post" feature

Hi JDee
Thanks for the prompt answer - just as quick as ever
I thought they usually include some form of announcement that appears in the sidebar, or have I missed that?

Report a post

How do you report a post (actually there are 5 of them just the same):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190029&tstart=0
I guess Apple Discussions server did not update properly lately because I still do not have the "report this post" link .....
Then someone else can report it instead.
So this ends up being a request more than a question....

Not necessarily. Do not assume anything in the post or the user profile is accurate. The perpetrator may be targeting someone by masquerading as him, or simply trying to get a nice list of Discussions users email addresses for those irate enough to reply to the one listed in the profile.
Like with all spam, the safest thing to do is report it if possible & otherwise ignore it. If this sort of thing becomes more common, the moderators may have to make changes either to staffing hours or to signup procedures or something, but it is their concern & not ours.

Someone with enough points to report a post

can someone with enough points please report this post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16308484#16308484

David, thanks for being so vigilant, but don't worry, there are many people who read the forums and action posts, and the moderators have automated systems for detecting problem posts also. So just enjoy the forum

Which level acquires 'report a post' capability.

I'm just curious as I have read posts in the last couple of months where level 2 was mentioned by both a moderator and an Apple employee in this group as the required level.
However, I have also read on another post that it is level 3:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12048636&#12048636
I just reached level 2 and do not see the 'report a post' link. Is there something I need to do, will it come in time, or do I really need to reach level 3?

Unless it has been changed recently, my understanding is that Level 2 is required to see a "Report this post" link. You also need to be logged in. Here's an example of where it's located — click to enlarge:

I run this report withouh filing this field but I havenu2019t field cost center on report. I h've changed loyout and inserted cost center, but field Cost Center is empty. Why?
Rgds Stenwa

Hi,
You can get the field "Cost Center" on the selection screen, by selecting the " + " (All selections = Shift + F7) button.
In the report output, you will get the cost center as sorting field & the sum field. You can the details in the layout change, click the layout button in the right edge to get the option to change / select / save the layout.

What happens after "reporting a post"?

Hi everyone!
A 2nd user displays a couple of outbursts against the 1st user who is helping the OP. These outbursts are uncalled for and I realize I could report his post but I'm afraid the MODS might delete the whole thread, and the OP might still need help.
What actually happens after I report his post? Is it just his posts that gets deleted, or the whole thread? What's the procedure for something like this?
And I don't want to post the thread or name the user in question, if I can help it.

fullcream,
When a post is reported, the moderators will receive the notification and look at any comments added by the reporter. They will look at the reported post first and then at the entire thread. Depending on the post, it may be removed or edited. If a post is removed, all of the responses linked to that post are also removed. This is something that is considered when deciding to remove or editing a post or an entire thread.
When a post is removed, an email is sent to the user who posted the removed item. Informing them of the reasons for the action. Users who posted responses to that removed post will not be notified. This is why some users have seen their posts "disappear" without notice, they were branches from a removed post.
We walk the fine line between full, open exchange and keeping messages on topic. We appreciate your help to notify us of those posts that fall outside the lines.

"Compiler error. Report this problem to NI." LV7.0

I get the error "Compiler error. Report this problem to NI; nmx unbundler bad sea/eea or edisp-sdisp=0x4".
I generated a test vi, where you can reproduce the error.
The error happens, when saving or running the vi.
This kind of error is happening in LV6.0, LV7.0 and LV7.1, maybe also in other versions (see posting in NI-zone).
NI: I think it´s time to correct the error now.

TestVariantError3.vi ‏29 KB

Hi,
What is happening is that the data type of the variant is not compatible with the data type wired to the type input because the variant does not have any data type at all.
To solve the problem you need to give the variant a data type AND whatever you wire to the type input must match this data type.
I am attaching a VI to show you what I mean.
In one side it's a an user error but in other side it's a LabVIEW bug...

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Please report back soon.

I recently had a post removed--Please do not delete this post.

I am appalled by my recent treatment by Apple's Support Community. I recently had a post removed, and was sent a notification email about it, for calling someone a name. I won't say it here, as Apple continually deletes my emails when I say it, even though I censor the word. As "offensive" as it may have been, I was defending myself from what someone else said to me. Yet the original "inflammatory" and "speculative" post that prompted my reply was not removed. Their post was neither "polite" nor "constructive" as the etiquette standards say they require. I feel this is unfair and a violation of Apple's Community Etiquette standards. Who do I speak to about this, without being continually censored?

I will report your post to the hosts for you - it will be up to them.
If someone attacks me, I will usually just ignore it - that is the best way to deal with such people.
