Bobba

Hey there friends,

As you may have noticed, a new feature called "Report Abuse" went live in a Bobba update yesterday.  This feature is something we've added to allow you to report any violation of The Big Three Rules that you might stumble upon during your travels in Bobba.  The purpose of this is to improve safety and moderation within the service, so please only use this function to report actual violations of the rules.

Users who misuse the "Report Abuse" feature will be temporarily banned from the service for 24 hours, and then 3 days, and then permanently if they continue to misuse the function.  Remember the story of the boy who cried "Wolf!", and make sure you only use the Report Abuse function when you are sure one of The Big Three Rules is being violated.  Please do not use the Report Abuse feature to tell us about bad language or someone who is simply being rude or slightly insulting - if you don't like what you hear, use the Ignore function.  Report Abuse is reserved for the worst of instances, where someone is griefing you or causing considerable malice to you or other users, or worse.

Here's a few examples of when it is and isn't appropriate to use "Report Abuse".

DON'T use Report Abuse when:

• Someone is insulting you.
• A user has said something you don't like or agree with.
• You want to say hi to GreyPawn or other devs. (send me a private message instead!)
• You run into a technical issue or encounter a bug.
• A user doesn't do something you want them to do.

DO use Report Abuse when:

• Someone is making racist, homophobic, sexist, comments.
• A user is posting links or otherwise trying to share illegal music or software.
• If you see someone exploiting a bug.
• A user is spamming.

Keep these simple things in mind when it comes to Reporting Abuse and Bobba will continue to have one of the safest social spaces to build and chat in.  Thanks for your attention!

See you in Bobba!
