The dilemma here is that users are limited to 4 or 5 reports and there is more problems in the room than there is people to take care of them.
Add to this the fact that
mods cant ignore reports through messages, and youll find that there is more BENEFITS to allowing more reports
Having unlimited reports means:
The offenses will never go unpunished as they stay suspended inside the flag system until theyre actioned upon. Unlike a PM where history/screenshots are automatically deleted after 48hrs or so.
The mod is forced to take action, and there is a record of that action
That mods dont have to waste time "searching history" for said offenses sent to them in PM
That mods dont have to have their PM box filled with reports and all complaints are contained within one system
That the report is in the system, and the system can only flag
real events in chat.
