Now there is something to base a report on. I imagine moderators get an e-mail or other electronic notification when a post is
reported. These can be very helpful when they contain useful information. They are a humongous PITA when they are from the same two or three people reporting each others posts in a thread when they disagree.

E-Mail and yes some of those E-Mails are about two or three people pulling knives.
But not even moderators use it like it could be: Flandry asking in a post for further moving posts not related. If he wants that recognized he needs to use the button too (found it cause I tried to follow the guy I was hired to hunt down).
Make use of it! Point to another thread to merge with. Request a move. Don't reply the troll, ask the moderators to handle it if a troll hijacked your educated conversation. So click the "Report This" button more often for useful things!
Requesting anything from mods in threads will be found by accident not on purpose. Speaking for me, I don't search for terms like "could a mod" or "mod please".

I second that. If you have some educated thoughts on this topic try to get them of your chest in a way people are not offended by and they might listen, you'd be surprised!

The following is an example how "not to do"! Criticizing is the key element of any discussion. To simply disagree can be held as criticism as well but without giving a reason. ("That's all against what I do!"
is not a good reason in this case.)

For the points-system... I am not a friend of a such but understand the use of tracking misbehaviour in general. Banning people because they hit the 100... what if they hit 100 minor things in one thread because of a little war starting off?

Respect Forum Moderators, Administrators and Members
If you have any problems with any of the staff, please PM or email the Administrator(s). Attacking any forum staff will be considered as violating the "No abuse, insults or personal attacks" rule. talk.maemo.org is a gathering place for people of many ideas but a common goal (the use, development of, and promotion of Maemo-related devices and software) and disagreement with ideas is not an excuse to be disagreeable towards other community members.

That's to be placed somewhere else I guess.

Reported members attacking other members via other means (PM, Email Member Feature, Social Groups, Gallery, etc.) will get the corresponding infraction points.

Within TMO?! This can be held as we protect all maemo members against all bad of the worlds. Point out the exact maemo.org environment (we have a gallery?) or replace the "via" part with "within maemo.org", can't get a clear frase on that. Sounds odd to me.

What you think?
