To everyone who files reports against posts that violate the subreddit rules, thank you. You provide valuable insight into posts and comments we moderators may have missed.

With that said, there are a few who as usual, just want to see Rome burn. They find any post that's even remotely popular, and report it for no damn reason at all.

So we implemented a two-stage reporting system.

• 1 You click report, choose the reason, and send the report on its merry little way.

• 2 Then you need to complete the second step. You need to message the moderation team and follow up on your report, explaining WHY you are reporting a post or comment. If you hover your cursor over the report button, you'll see that it actually says "Please message the moderators after reporting so we can properly handle the issue. Thanks!"

Additionally, from now on, "sticky" information posts will be locked to prevent abuse.
