Questionable Language Report Help
Jun 5 2009, 12:26 PM EDT | Post edited: Jun 5 2009, 12:26 PM EDT
On my site, I had a user put a bad word that I know is not allowed on wetpaint in their slogan. When I looked at the "reported" page, it was not there. Does someone have to manually report it? Do you find this valuable?

Well, you can automatically change the slogans of other users if you are an admin or above. If he continues to set it back, please give him a stern warning, and then ban or demote the user. Do you find this valuable?

I know that I can, but I want to know do I have to go around checking everywhere to make sure there is no bad words, or is there an easy way? Do you find this valuable?

Slogans are not searchable and are only listed on the individual's profile page. They are not included in the profanity filter that we use for page edits and posts. Do you find this valuable?

Sometimes, I believe, that if their is a ACTUAL wetpaint staff on your site, and they look at your site, and they come across something that has cuss words or sexual language on it, they will report it to the " Reported " tabs. Then, they will send a PM to any and all mods and admins about it and tell them to talk to them or to delete it, something like that, and then, once you deal wirth it, it will dissapear off the " Reported " Tab.

But to actually report it yourself, I believe you might be able to, but I am not sure how. Some pages get reported when there is nothing wrong with them at all. Do you find this valuable?

unfortunately the questionable content finder is a bit odd. on Top Storm Gaming it selected the words "toilet" and "dead" as questionable, and after that we just turned the thing off. Do you find this valuable?
