Topic: Is there a way to see if anyone's reported any of your posts/comments/etc.?

No real reason why I'm asking, just curious. (So no real harm if the answer's "no".)

Yep, you go to Tickets then check ticket by ticket, if you don't find your name, congrats!

post #2912791 Why, yes... I'm a smartass. How could you tell?

But... to your question, I don't think you can just automatically search your name through the tickets, unfortunately. I really wish we could search a comment through the tickets, the search function of tickets feels so incomplete imo. (;-;

User reports and DMail complaints are private, so there is no way for normal users to determine if they have been reported or not with those two. All other reports, however, are public.

No convenient way to search through those reports though, I take it

Well, there is, but it's admin-only.

I don't think that letting people search for themselves in the tickets is a good idea. It's just gonna cause unnecessary drama.
If it's a false report, then the ticket is completely irrelevant. If the report is accurate, knowing of its existence might cause some people to either try to cover up their tracks, or to cause more damage out of spite.

my personal favorite report of myself I've found is when I was reported for "being a soft cock"

That's probably the reason why user reports were made private. Originally, only tickets submitted for DMails were private, I don't remember when user reports were made private but it was a while ago.

On one hand, letting users see tickets can help them aid e6, or assist others, or see what gets people records or not... but on the other, people can also specifically target users by noticing tickets, and the amount of non-staff members who "peek behind the curtain" is probably ludicrously low. The only real reasons I due it is mostly force of habit, and partially to help around since the other means of paying attention to the site can be unreliable.

So yea, being able to see tickets isn't too valuable. It's mostly for staff members, other users can use it as a "what not to do" guide or to help with stuff that doesn't require administrative action, like fixing tags or wiki pages (just avoid "editing wars" for either of those), but otherwise you're gonna get very little out of it. It's an amount of transparency that other sites do not provide, but the actual usefulness of that is lacking, it's mostly meant for admins.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, Actually, but...

...I see?ใ€€Maybe that's why searching is available in User-Feedback.

Come to think of it, I've been showing it to others and telling them as "What Not to Do" guide, In fact.
Also, I myself had caught some important judgment/information: fox tag is Not for Fox-ish Pokemons (in usual cases).ใ€€When understood why, I became interested in this site.
I realize again how convenient it is.

Can confirm. Tickets used to be public back then (the reporter, the reported, and the reason) but I can't remember for the life of me when it got changed to private.

I can see why that would be the case. Still it would be really useful if we could at least search contents of our own tickets. (._โ €โ €โ €.

going to guess because people would use the information to harass people when they find out who reported them.

At the top of the page there is a tab labeled "Mine." Tickets you have issued will be under there.

How many tickets do you have where this would be an issue?

I've been making tickets for three years and I have 14 tickets total.

...wait, are you the one that has that labelling system for their tickets?

They recently filed their 1000th ticket.

I'm still not entirely sure what the purpose of searching within your own tickets would be.
What would you want to find?

Serial killers like to return to the scene of their crimes.

Basically a search field that would search for something within my tickets such as:

  • Usernames
  • Comments #id
  • Post #id

This could be used to avoid duplicating tickets or reporting multiple occurrences that would result in the same warning for someone. It would be a good QOL feature imo. As of now I'm having to use people's avatars, dates, familiarity/memory and at the worst of the cases I've to open every single one of my pending tickets that's after the date of the occurrence with a relevant subject and quickly check tickets from others to see if it hadn't been reported before, which is a bit annoying, even more so if I skipped days without filing reports.

Does any of this made sense? I'm sorry I really tried to make it cohesive, but I'm not sure if it's understandable. In any case, if it's confusing please ask and I'll try to explain it better. (โ €๐Ÿ‘โ €'โ €โ €โ–ฝโ €'โ €)

This could be fixed by simply telling users if the comment they're trying to report has already been reported, which is something that should probably exist anyway.

If the report has already been resolved and the user punished, the comment should have a notice on it to that effect, although admittedly the admins aren't always the best at applying those. You could also skim the user's feedback for anything younger than a month.

Be neat if you could look at reports of your comments after a year or such. Too long to really cause drama over, so it's purely for the fun of seeing what people's complaints or comments were.

Although risky I think someone could report themselves to see if they have been reported which as been said in this thread is something staff doesn't want, to avoid drama.

Warnings aren't the only way of handling tickets, there are others forms of handling such as dmailling an user or simply intervening in the comments. Anyhow, I think comment marking is used more sporadically, because people like to make drama when they see that mark below comments.

Seems nice. I also think it's unlikely to cause drama that way.

The search function you're describing doesn't exist, admins are basically as limited as you are. If it would be as simple as just limiting the search to tickets you yourself have created I would do it. Since the information is referencing multiple tables adding a search isn't as easy as for other things.

Duplicate tickets and duplicate warnings aren't an issue, since admins see the duplicates when handling individual tickets. You should just report the content, and admins will handle the rest.

Understandable, thanks for the insight.

If that's the case, I'll be less worried about that. Thank you. (๐Ÿ‘Šโ €'โ €โ–ฝโ €'โ €)

how many tickets have I filed?

You can always go to "Mine" on the ticket page and look there. You see 75 tickets per page, you can multiply that by the number of pages to get an approximate count.

I have a little under 1,500 tickets made, or 20 pages worth... I thought mine would only be in the hundreds digit.

75 is a weird numb

The markings were only introduced like two months ago, it's a bit premature to claim they're being phased out.
