How to view the Dark Star page with Boards view?

Aeszarck·Jun 17, 2016·1 votes·637 views

Okay, so there's very clearly a bot in the comments. To report that kind of stuff, I normally need to go to the Announcements sub-board, view the thread via Boards, and then Report. I can't report stuff from the News normally because the News view doesn't have the Report function. However, the Announcement thread for Dark Star is simply a redirect to the page, and contains none of the comments, thereby disallowing me from reporting the bot and stopping it from tricking gullible users into clicking the link. Anyone have any solutions? And no, posting on the thread then trying to go to the comment does not work because the comment that I put on the page apparently just doesn't count as a comment.

(Also, it might be beneficial for Riot to program a Report button for posts in the News section, since I don't think many people know about the Announcements subboard and therefore can't report posts like these. Also, a quote button would also be nice as well.)

That site is separate from the Boards in terms of how the comments come in. We try to review it when we get the time, so removals will tend to be delayed instead of near-instant like they are on the Boards for scam links.

Okay, thanks for telling me TheCurator! So I guess that means that I can't report those posts?

Also, quick question. How big is the Boards moderation team, including you? (I'm pretty sure that you're the only visible mod, but I have a hunch that there are more moderators than you.)

There is not currently a way to report posts from those specialty sites. We'll be doing our best to review them as often as possible to remove things.

We have a large team but I'm currently the only Visible Moderator. The Boards are moderated 24 hours a day every day of the year with multiple moderators on at all times. That's about all I can say in regards to the size of the team.

Thanks for answering. Keep it up the good work!

Found what you're talking about and downvoted it, but I can't find a way to report the comment either.

Edit: Nevermind, it's been deleted now.

Thanks for trying GaleWinUnleashed. I downvoted it too, but the scammers have a pretty sizeable backing.

Response edit: Great!

Damn it, there's another.

Riot's Boards moderators seem to be pretty quick with deleting scammer's posts when they're reported. Riot just needs to program a Report button so that this stuff can be dealt with quicker.
