so, a couple of hours ago i was playing a game with some fellow forumers, when suddenly an individual started to badger me and threaten to mass report all of my old posts, which got me thinking...

is it really wrong to do so?

i mean, of course, a lot of people argue against it because the ban sort of comes out of left field and all, and it's more tattling, but really, other than that, what's wrong with it?

ROBLOX's team is made to remove inappropriate content from the site, and effectively punish the wrongdoer. why does it really matter whether or not the ban comes from something you did two days ago, or two months ago?

it's not like the Terms of Service did a complete 180 and we're all following different rules. regardless of the time when you did a wrongdoing, you still technically are liable to receive a ban.

Again, I know it's super petty for one to do so, but are there any other complaints?

lemme know. i really want to open something up here and maybe find a solution to this problem.

I appealed for my deletion.

My old posts got me deleted again.

Now I lost my account due to mass reporting old posts.

Its not justified.


Hey, that's mildly adequate

yeah lol him

however, this post wasn't to smear mud across someone's name, but more to learn why reporting someone's old posts is necessarily bad

of course if the post was appropriate i would get it , but if you did something wrong, what's wrong with receiving punishment?

Did you know my deletion was because of me mentioning 6 inches of leg room?

I think the issue is the mass reporters intent. I can't deny that mass reporters USUALLY report actual inappropriate stuff, but the malicious intent really confuses the legitimacy of the reports.

Plus, people change over time. Something someone said a year ago may be totally conflicting with their current personality. Doesn't help either that most people on this site are at an age where they're prone to be extra moody.

It's wrong, and legoseed just said that they would probably remove the ability to report posts older than three weeks or more.

so would you say that there should be some type of limit on how far back you can report threads?

"i'm more speaking about posts that were bluntly inappropriate"

It would depend on the reason for reporting that individual. If you're just mad at them and want to get them in trouble to get even then that's really stupid and selfish, I don't condone that all especially because most people who report old posts report them out of context. Thus resulting in a moderation act and they prey on the fact that mods can't see the post date from their panel (supposedly, which explains why they moderate posts that are several years old when they technically aren't allowed). If it's a bumped post or something and that user is legitimately breaking rules and you have valid concern, then by all means, go ahead.
