Report violations, duplicates, misplaced posts, etc.

[pilla]

This will allow an easy method of contacting all moderators at one time.

• Users:
  • If you spot what you believe to be a duplicate post, please post a link to it here. In addition, include a link to what is being duplicated.
    
  • If you find a post you think belongs in a different forum, let us know.
    
  • Avoid multiple reports of spam:
    • If a user's posts are all spam, report the user, not the posts.
    • Review this thread after submitting a report. Please delete your report if someone beat you to the punch.
  • Any other post that you think requires moderation (violations of Guidelines, broken BBcode, etc.).
    
  
  
• Moderators:
  • Please delete posts after you've addressed them.

Thanks in advance.

User: Naib
Topic: Lightweight alternative for PCManFM?
Post: post 8597157
Reason: sigspam

[Is this about the OTW20 link, which was previously discussed in this very thread and found not to be an issue, or is this about the quote from dantrell? If this is about OTW20, there is (at least) one other user with the same signature. -Hu]

With OTW no longer in Gentoo namespace, we can't move posts there. The OTW regulars advertising to their occasional users is doing us a service.
We have already seen this topic turned into a mini OTW twice in 3 months.
What does the rest of the forum mods team think? -- NeddySeagoon

As the sig appears to have been edited, I'm guessing whatever was removed was the reason for the report? Regarding the link, the historically "observed" practice had been something like "links in the profiles of established users is typically not considered spam." It does seem to be a "service" to send them elsewhere. --pjp

The quote was removed from the signature after the report. Regarding the "link as a service", I'm not reporting twice when Neddy made his opinion on it clear the last time. But, the only times that OTW makes a comeback here seems to involve users with that link in their signature anyway.
