Do Mods act on external evidence? I've just reported 2 topics for bump spam, showing
loyce.club link 1 and
loyce.club link 2 as evidence. The user has
no posts deleted by Mods, but bumps his topics about 6 times more than allowed.
What happens to such a report? If his latest bump gets deleted, he'll probably just continue. If he deleted his own post before a moderator sees my report, does that invalidate my report?
In regards to acting upon external evidence; It's a hard one to say really, context applies. Moderators obviously act upon external data, because we have to verify plagiarism via off site sources usually. However, other external data would probably have to be considered on a case by case basis since it could easily be manipulated.
