Besides, as I said, that’s not the main argument. The main argument is the repeated and constant violation of rule 1.
I thought the right thing to be done was to :
Reports: If you notice someone breaking the rules, please use the 'report to moderator' feature found on the right side of their post. Alternatively, you could contact one of the moderators directly.
If you and uchegod-21 had read what I wrote a few posts above yours, instead of just reading the OP and rushing to reply, you would realize that the main argument for banning him is not that they're alts of a banned user. The main argument is the constant and repetitive violation of rule 1. That's the main argument. The fact that they're alts of a banned user only reinforces that point.
Apart from that, I've reported a few OPs on the Economics section for low value. Let's see how that goes.
My question is; are we meant to create threads reporting flooding / forum rule 1 violation or reporting directly to the moderators?. Isn't it violation as well taking laws into our hands by making a thread out of posts that are meant to be treated directly by the moderators. I believe moderators have the right to delay in taking action while the take their time to investigate reports.
If reports have been made I think it is best to sit back and allow the moderators do their job. Lots of cases get reported frequently and we don't expect them to just jump into every reports and pass judgement immediately without a fair evaluation and critical care so the pass the right judgement.
