Okay so lately I have been getting a lot of comments like these:
  • "Why did you flag it, it may not be allowed but its awesome"
  • "You're only flagging it because you are sucking up to the Mods!"
  • "Your just jealous, that's why you're flagging!"


Well, I know most people get this but what really gets on my nerves is the second one. The fact that they tell me I am sucking up to the Moderators is completely outrageous. Most people will agree with me on that one. I am not "sucking up" I am flagging because that is obviously the right thing to do. Now let me explain all these sentences and their flaws.


With the first comment, the answer is in the question, and as obvious as it is, people don't seem to get it. They try to defend the offenders but they are just digging themselves holes. I flagged it because they broke the PMC rules and I was obeying them by doing the right thing, If we don't flag things that are against the rules, then PMC would be full of horrible submissions.

Also the second one, I can add a lot more to it, When people get angry, sentences like these come out of their mouths. Not only are they annoyed at the fact that WE are doing the right thing, they just want to make us feel annoyed and as you can tell, it has started to annoy me. But making me annoyed isn't the best thing to do, I rarely have to make a blog about something I am very frustrated about.

And as for the last one, I am not jealous. Why in the world would I be? It is a very stupid assumption to make. I give a reason when I flagged peoples work, If I have ever flagged you, you would know because I write " Flagged because....". If I was jealous I wouldn't flag your work. As stated before, there is nothing to be jealous about, I happily make blogs.

Anyway to sum it all up,
  • We flag things because they are against PMC rules, no matter how "awesome" they are
  • We are not sucking up to the Moderators when we flag, we are making PMC a better place
  • We do not flag because we are jealous, no one should flag your work because they are jealous
Anyway I hope people get the point.
Peace out,

BTW this is blog number 40! Can't believe how far I have come!

Ok, although I am outraged as to the people that think sucking up to mods will get them somewere on PMC, I think that you also have a little bit missing from you're story. now before I say what I am about to, I want to say that I DO agree that people saying it's awesome and asking why you flagged it, but what I though I should say is, maybe some people are comming from the wrong perspective, most of the people are level 7's that aren't that experienced with the site, further more they don't know it will get them nowere. Also, there are probably allot more people than you flagging and reporting, but what I think you (Or others) are doing wrong is saying in the comments that you flagged, if you don't comment you won't get feedback from the new people saying how the mods stuff doesn't matter if it's against the rules or something. Basicly what I'm trying to say it, if you flag something, no need to comment that you did, just flag it. Allot of other people probably did that same thing. But of COURSE I agree 100% with you that sucking up to mods is wrong, and will get you nowere.

I kinda agree, you see. Stating why you flagged the post means they don't complain why. So instead of them keep repeating the same mistake, they know what they did wrong and they hopefully stop doing it.

I agree 1,000 times over. this happens to me on all sights, but I still report content agaisnt the rules, because it's the right thing to do. Doing the right thing, believe me, pays off.
