Isn't it about time....

we added a REPORT button for bad content?

reviews such as this one: www.listal.com/viewproduct/movies/14463

are pointless and very offensive.

a few bad apples can easily turn a great site bad. I think listal needs to implement some sort of moderating or filtering or reporting to keep a check on spam, profanity, nudity, racism, etc. It's not bad now, but without a system in place, it would be much harder once the eventual onslaught of bad apples come in.

A flagging button would certainly be useful... Maybe something along the lines of what craigslist has, after a certain number of flags, it's reviewed by a moderator. At least this will avoid people hounding a user they don't like, or someone accidentally flagging ร  la "I wonder what this button does."

FACT: This site needs a report button. I think every page product/user/forum should have a report button on it. Previously I hadn't thought about them on user pages, but we need it for spam users and people like this:

hottyangel20.listal.com/

I found one worse than that (FULL nudity) and reported it directly to Tom by private message because I really didn't want to post a link to it on here, but I don't really want to be sending them that way all the time. I've come across spam items and reviews, repeat accounts, and not being able to report them anonymously is getting annoying.

PLEASE Tom! This type of thing is spoiling the site!

EDIT: Eeeew... third porn account. I'm just not linking to that...
and again: fourth (no bad pictures, just the text): cameronanstis.listal.com/

I also mentioned this nudity/porn/spam problem in the Quantity vs Quality topic...

I'm not a member of listal for a long time now but it really seems to be or at least to become a problem recently.

I'm even willing to help with this, deleting inappropriate users/posts/reviews and such if necessary. :) Just because I think the idea of listal is still great... it just needs more moderation.

I agree this is needed , although I'm not really a fan of admin based moderation, i prefer the digg.com style of greyed out comments e.g. :

www.digg.com/gaming_news/New_upgraded_360_may_ship_with_data_retention_cable

I guess that would only work with some of the content on Listal (e.g. reviews)

the 'greyed out' thing would be good for poor reviews/comments without needing moderating, but perhaps add 'Flag as Spam/Porn/Incorrect' for images and video uploads (right now all we can do is ADD a vote) and at -5 or whatever, the image or video will be removed automatically?

Prelude76, have another look at that Tea film page and look at the newest review. Is someone rebelling?

hmm, another one. maybe that particular movie is so bad it causes a temporary turret's syndrome to develop shortly after watching it?

The "reviews" have only caused me to become a tiny bit more interested in seeing it :P

And then go on to spam review other items about tea...

-LOL- It appears that strappado has been seriously offended by Tea and thus takes revenge.
