Deleting "Hacker" Reports

[TheBrownster]

So as you all know, people come on the forums and post hacker reports just where ever they want. When you look at, say the eggwars section, you see many reports. I believe that when people come on the forums, they see previous "hacker" reports, see that they are locked which could mean "handled" and then proceed to post their own thinking that is the right section. If we delete these posts, we could reduce the number of these threads. And besides, they are useless. They don't add anything and just take up space. :)

I agree with this! There are too many hacker reports on the server, and that could be a possible driver for more of them to come. Either this could help it, or be a bit more obvious on where the rules and guidelines are.

I totally agree with this. Why not? They're useless threads. Time to get rid of them :P

@Mac said a while ago that he would remove useless threads, I hope it includes removing reports at wrong sections ;).

People post these threads regardless of what threads have been made previously...
They don't even read the forums rules!

I was just thinking that maybe people see all of those threads and think its the right section. Might help just a bit. ;)

I support the idea however idk if staff want to go through and delete them as it might take a million years to do

You don't need to worry about the ones from years ago. No one will really ever see them. If they start by deleting the ones on the front pages and then all new ones posted, it will clean everything up.

Just clean up the ones that the people see when they get on the tab of the forums so they do not think that it is ok to report there, and then they might just look elsewhere and find where to report. I likey!

They should also just put the Ban Department on top, so it's the first thing new people would see.

Also I don't think they should be deleted as players might take a while to look back at them to see a response. I would appreciate if the staff team moved them to bug reports/support though if they aren't there already.
