My question to you: how do you solve the moderation staffing requirements? Imagine if every post that got downvoted was instead reported.
The solution here assumes that 'report' sends a post to some nether realm where nobody has to deal with it ever again; but all it's doing is passing the buck, and I don't think that's viable unless the moderation team is the same size as the userbase.
If you then mandate a sixty-character comment, then nobody's going to bother reporting anyway, and you end up with a worse problem..

Conversely, I work in IT Support and I get asked programming questions far too often... even to the point where I'm asked to fix applications despite not being a dev.
Then again, I basically have to deal with anything that's got a plug on the end. I guess code falls into that category in some peoples' heads.

We need to either rework the the upvote/downvote system or to get rid of it completely. It's not fulfilling its task anymore. (kbin.social)

Dear pre-migration Keebinetters, how can we NOT ruin kbin for you? (kbin.social)
