Effective Reporting of Flooding and Bumping

Thanks, we already have sufficient abuse reports about this user
Administrators will be processing these in due course

 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I use the following to report MULTI-POST trolling events:

1) I opened one of the posts in the spamming set for reading

2) I click on: Flag > Report Post

3) For Reason for Complaint: I select “None of the above”

4) For Details of Complaint: I copy and paste the information below including the “===” boundaries

Note: I had to take some of these posters off my Ignore List to use the reporting feature. I used the following posts for these user accounts at the links below for reporting:

=======================================

A brief statement of the type of trolling event, its duration, and number of accounts involved

List accounts that are involved:

USERNAME01  http://www.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/

USERNAME02  http://www.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/

Etc.

NOTE: I would report each USERNAME separately with different reports

List any previously known USERNAME sock puppets that have been deleted:

SOCK01           http://www.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/

SOCK02           http://www.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/

Etc.

-----------------------------------------------------

Here are the offending bumping posts:

-----------------------------------------------------

BY: USERNAME01        http://www.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/

Link01

Link02

Link03

Link04

Link05

Link06

Etc.

NOTE: an easy way to collect the link information is to go the trolls posting history and right-click and open each post in a new tab. You can then copy the link (URL) information directly into the space above.

***************************************************

REQUEST #1 per IMDb’s STATED POLICY (list the policy that has been violated):

If necessary, you should state why the Ignore Feature does work for this type of event.

Quote the applicable part of the policy and add an explanation of how the current trolling event violates the clause of the quoted policy.

Per your IMDB STATED POLICY Policy, I request AN ACTION from IMDb

I have 3 questions for the administrators about the above approach

1) Is this approach useful and effective?

2) If I create such a report, can it be shared with other board members via a post on the board**

3) If I create such a report, can it be shared with other board members via a Private Message?

**When using a board post for this information, the trolls invariably report the post as a violation. Eventually the post gets deleted by an administrator.
