The "RED FLAG" Option, And The Future Of WA

Hey Gators

A Simple Speakeasy To Kyle And Carson :)

Ok, maybe I'm getting carried away. That said, maybe in order to future guard our "Gated Community" here, and like it or not, we are a Gated Community. We are an open minded group of entrepreneurs, learning and growing, helping each other achieve success.

However, there are rules and regulations that must be abided by, in order to maintain and safeguard our community. That said, we are also an open community,welcoming everyone into our family, offering the possibility and opportunity to grow and succeed.

That Said

Now that said, I think it' might be time to include a "RED FLAG" option. Granted the "Report Spam" worked well, at least up until 18 months ago. My own personal opinion, given that the "report spam" has been abused too many times to mention, and that it is automated, it needs a revamp,

Enter Red Flag

How many times have you contacted Kyle or Carson, waited days for a response? I'm not criticizing, I know they're very busy, However the automated "Report Spam" option on here, has over the last 18 months caused enough bad feelings that we have lost valuable members. I'm still here, because 'i don't mind confrontation, it creates fair play.

So maybe, just maybe, a "RED fLAG" option should be added, which after maybe a few hits should require immediate attention from ADMIN

Further, anyone who does opt for "report spam", would be held accountable, should they misuse it.

That's my take

Later Gators

Hot topic. I thought they were investigating before taking action re spam now.
Maybe there could be a little pop-up asking people to be sure it really is spam and whether they have contacted the supposed "spammer" to try to resolve the issue before reporting spam.

Blessings,

How about adding "A Wall Of Shame". This could be available to all members. They could then decide what action they wanted to take.

If used correctly, for SPAM only, then the report spam button works fine. The problem arises when folks use the report spam button for reasons other than spam.

Spam, as defined by WA can be found at this link (which everyone has read, right?) I feel we are all mature enough to 'self police' our own community will minimal (the existing report spam button) influence or "rules".

That said, I am also aware that we are human and live in the real world were some folks are unaware, where common sense is not common and of course where to err is human. But do we really need an 'almost or maybe spam' button. I disagree.

I do fully agree that those who misuse the "report spam" button should dragged in front of the community, tied to a post and publicly stoned - just kidding of course. :-) Those abusing the "report spam" button should be held accountable as you say Joseph.

It doesn't hurt to send the person a PM letting them know they made a mistake before hitting the button either, I've done this many times with positive results.

ROCK ON!

The best to you and yours as well Joseph. :-)

Yes, the automated approach has its flaws. I think it would be so much better if a human (admin) response came into play when people hit the spam button.

Sigh, when you believe in something, there are times you just gotta speak up, even if you get shit for it
Thanks Sis :)

Awesome Idea Joseph,

I am all for a checks and balances method.

I as you know have been clicked on many times in the past, the crazy thing is that I would get clicked on almost immediately and I still to this day witness as much or more than I was ever even remotely guilty of and it goes either unnoticed or just plain favoritism.

It would be great to have a completely equal and unbiased platform.

I know that with the huge volume on WA that would be very hard to be possible but it would be nice.

Kyle, Carson & the rest of the WA Community do a wonderful job with this great platform & I look forward to the great things that are right around the corner in 2016!

Thank you Joseph for getting us thinking my Friend,

Tony

Thank You Joseph, I appreciate the love & support my Friend. Tony

:)

I like your thoughts. I almost left, too, and I'm a new guy.

Naw, leave, what you talking about?
We Are Awesome
Blessings to you and yours Barry, and thanks for taking the time :)

I like the idea of something like a red flag option.....have you suggested it to Kyle or Carson?

We are, right here, trust me Rosie, they do read all that goes on here
Lovingly

Hi Joseph, I have asked Kyle about this easy to misuse opportunity to use the spam button, and if it was a good idea to make it more difficult to stop this kind of bullying. They take this issue verry seriously and they are brainstorming about it right now.

To quote a sentence of my conversation with Kyle:
We have some solutions that are coming in respect to this, ones that will not impact others and that are subtle and will take place behind the scenes.

I trust Kyle and Carson fully in taking care of this matter.

:)
Yup!

I see this as a cross section of society more geared toward the lower end. with this type of group anytime someone says something that someone disagrees with they become the enemy and the cross section of the klan will unilaterally agree and function with the initiator. That is very typical and expected.

Hey Keith, Jay and David, you really don't make it easy eh?
Well said my Friends, and btw, I like your stuff
Thanks
Best wishes to you all

Agreed I have lost a dear one due to this. You have too Not saying anymore on this.

Hmmmm, some are simply choosing to remain quiet, until safe ground is once again .
Love ya Bro
Joseph

There have been quite a few, however, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
We've both seen a thing or two here, and Man, I'm so proud to be your Friend
Love ya!

Not sure about one we both know.
Take care Bro hugs back
