Not to bitch or nothing like that but is there anything against that? I mean I don't really care if I deserve it or whatever but when a certain person follows you around failing you for the hell of it I'm like whats the point. And it's happening to more then one person?????

[raygunpk]

yeah targeted fails for no reason is pretty bad.

[FN-2199]

You can report it and the mods will take care of it for you, if it bothers you.

[murd0c]

Well this is me reporting it I guess LOL

[LiquidTurbo]

I already reported it to a mod a while ago... Here was the original message I sent....I don't really care anymore, it's just a form of mild trollin' :troll:






Hi,

asian_XL has been stalking my posts and randomly Fails them....even other members have noticed:

I wonder why Asian_XL failed your post?

Thanks! I hope my posts come across as "information" not advice. Everyone should make an informed decision that best suits them, my goal is to help inform everyone. :)


WTF...why did asian_XL fail LiquidTurbo's post????


Some examples of some meaningful posts which don't have any fail context to them at all:

It would be nice to have the fails removed if possible.. the system is there to encourage quality posts which is what I try to contribute anyway.

If it counts as fail abuse then I'll leave it up to your discretion as to what to do.

Thanks for reading.

[ShadowBun]

i smell fail war

reminds me of maplestory.

[Gh0stRider]

Which mod was it reported to?

[raygunpk]

fail war indeed.

[orange7]

just fails.. they're meaningless.

[bcrdukes]

No, not just meaningless fails, but trolling fails are enough to deem users unnecessary (if you get my drift.) :p

[tiger_handheld]

never knew people took these fails n thanks so seriously ....

[Osaka]

just fails.. they're meaningless.

never knew people took these fails n thanks so seriously ....


:werd:

then it would be considered "thank abuse" if someone were to follow you around and thank every post you put up? Can't believe a fail button would get people upset that much... oh well guess people are sensitive about what others think. After all its just the internet..

[bcrdukes]

While the fail and thanks system shouldn't be taken seriously, it contributes to the overall user experience. If members here are contributing in a positive way, why fail the post? That's just trolling in my opinion. The unnecessary fails don't contribute to the community and would generally steer people in the wrong direction to not post. We don't want that here. We want members to post and to participate.

[kokanee_vtec]

Why don't mods limit all users to 5 FAILS per day.

[XtC-604]

omgggg lol who cares

Yep, agreed.

[hchang]

Asian_xl 's always going around stalking peoples posts to fail if you failed one of his posts.

First time that happened to me I got pretty annoyed, but now I just don't let it get to me. If he finds it fun to stalk my posts and fail me just because I failed one of his posts that deserved a fail, then be my guest. It just doesn't bother me anymore.

[nma]

obviously only someone with no social life would do such a thing..

[GSX-R]

Asian xl is banned it seems like.

[greendb7]

I noticed that too, asian xl fails some pretty good posts

[wyuzz]

how do you fail a post in the first place :confused:

any idea how long he is banned for?

When you paypal any mod $5.

Are there any "specific" mods I can report some fail button abusers? I tried to report a post with information about the fail abusing but no action.......

[Shun Izaki]

lol, before fail/thank, it seems i racked up a pretty good impression on a lotta e-thugs on RS.

Just look at the tailgaters thread in VOT... i got failed all of 5x more than anyone who said the exact same thing, or perhaps usually something that's much less offenseive than the last person.

Gotta love RS....

If you spot a serial re-occuring "failer" I would suggest the following:

1. Click on "Report Post To Moderator"
2. Post the offending member's name in this thread.

The mods responsible for the specific forum in which the post was made in will get a notification. Also, by posting it here, you will get a higher visibility of your report as this forum can be accessed by all mods. In the event that you do report a member who abuses their fail button, do not fret as we need some time to asses the situation and to decide how to deal with it accordingly. As you can see, we have dealt with re-occuring/major offenders so we do listen and take these cases seriously.

[jeedee]

Oh okay, thanks for the information bcrdukes!

But yeah, I tried reporting the post of the fail button abuser, in the specific forum, but no luck. Anyway, I'd like to report "AutozamAZ-3".

He's been going through all my threads and posts, and failing my posts such as "bump". I don't see any reason why that deserved a fail...this may be a case of "revenge failing". There was a fight club thread a while ago, and he posted a really immature, flame post so I failed that post. Guess he got angry about 1-2 fails I've gave him, and now he's been stalking me and failing most of posts for no reason at all.

Examples:

Just some examples from my user profile, there's more. I don't mind being failed at all, but when there's someone stalking you around the forums and failing all your posts just because you got 1, is just ridiculous.

I think the best solution would be when you get a certain amount of "thanked posts", you should be able to use the fail button. But, just like Autozam, some people may just spam out the thanks button, so I don't know.

It'd be nice if I could get those "fails" removed from my profile, better yet, having his button removed.

Thanks!

[LiquidTurbo]

LOL. You sir have been fail-stalked.

[?NR]

well, this is rather an epidemic.

So, as BCRdukes already mentioned, please report the posts and person who abuses the fail option. Moderators will review to assess the situation accordingly.

those who gets their FAIL button taken away will no longer be able to use it, permanently, once it's gone, it's gone for good.

lol.. but some of those fails are legit.

like the ones where you are trying to tell the OP to not bump so often. Instead, you could have PM'ed the OP.

[jeedee]

^Hm, okay. I mean, its only him that's failing me for doing that. I've always told certain users to bump only once per 2 days, and he's the only one failing me...so.......

But yeah, I'll keep that in mind, I'll pm the OP next time.

Either PM or report the post to the moderator. It will be dealt with accordingly. :)

i normally take fails with a grain of salt...but failing back just for the hell of it when you are 100% incorrect is abuse...esp if one doesn't bother replying back.
