We have almost 110k readers, and thousands of active members!!!!!
This is great, but this also means there are a lot of beginners and keyboard jockeys. They post advice that isn't tested in the field, and that doesn't really apply in properly applied game. We can either be a place where newbies talk about picking up girls, or we can be a resource of high quality content that people can use to actually improve themselves.
We have an amazing mod team, but things get missed. We cannot check 100% of the post constantly, sometimes posts that look fine for the first day will get invaded with bad advice the next after we've checked it.
We need YOU, the vigilant seddit member, to help us out with that REPORT button underneath comments and posts.
I want to see at least several dozen more reports per day!
WHAT does Reporting actually do?
Perhaps some members are scared of that little "report" button. What does it do? What actually qualifies as needing reports? Will you waste the time of a mod by reporting something incorrectly??? OHH NOO!!!
What it does:
First, it shows up as a little yellow tag, LIKE THIS. As you can see, this is a comment that got a lot of downvotes and wasn't helpful.... yet it had zero reports (I reported as example)
This lets us see reports in comment threads, but it ALSO shows up in a special modqueue page, where all the reported comments / posts go. This means by visiting this report queue page, we can easily go through dozens of reports, just clicking on each one.
There is very little harm in reporting a post, it takes multiple reports for anything to be automatically removed. Everything else will get moderator attention.
When you should do it:
ThrowawayPUA (a moderator), gave good advice in the recent simple questions post:
[Members should] try to connect their comments with seduction techniques as they are known and practiced within this community.
The overall guide should be "Does this help people effectively start sexual relationships with people they are attracted to". (short: "Does this help guys meet women")
Posts - Anything specific scenario should go into /r/askSeddit. Funny images, songs, youtube videos of guys being creepy / awkward are not helpful. Articles are good, in field is good, posts about techniques and mindsets are good. If you don't find value in a post, REPORT it.
Comments - Seddit doesn't exist for people to make witty comments or stroke their own ego for validation. We are here to help people improve their social skills, specifically getting better with starting sexual relationships. If a post isn't helpful, REPORT it.
Bad Advice - If you are unsure about advice, but think it sounds questionable, even if its trying to be helpful, REPORT it. The Mods are highly skilled and can filter through stuff, if we ignore the reports, everything is fine, no harm done.
What if I'm not sure???
If we notice a BUNCH of reports for things that we want to allow, I'll make another post with screenshots and examples of what we want to allow. Other than that, please do your best to help us keep this subreddit full of high quality content, by clicking that REPORT button.
