This was long overdue, but I've said before that the Meta page for the Ban report is not very effective, so now's the time to actually do something about it.

As you know, we have a Ban Report page for dealing with any kind of rule breaking that goes on with the site. The problem is that when a controversial post is made, everyone and their dog decides to jump in and comment when they shouldn't be, not to mention it creates a lot of tension and unnecessary politics within the site.

So to that end, I've created this survey to take the place of ban reports. The survey can be submitted by anyone and it will take the place of ban reports. It's still the same information, but now we keep things anonymous so we won't have groups jumping in unnecessarily. It'll also keep all the reports organized and we won't have to have Pokemaster continually clean out the report page and have it running slow.

This time, when a report is made, a person authorized to view the responses to the survey can check who all to go to. We can involve whoever we need to involve as we need more information.

If your name is on this list, please personal message me on the server or contact me so I can authorize you to view the response page for the ban report. I will check off the names when I have you authorized. I won't wait until everyone is up to date to deal with things, but once we get a few more people, I'll edit the ban report page in order to get things more organized.

Thanks a lot, guys! Really appreciate it. Happy New Year's and all that too.

Definitely in favour of this, but I think there should be a thread for non-controversial reports as well. This would be a much faster way to remove spambots.
Great work, DT!
The survey only takes about two seconds and has instant viewership. Even if spambots arrive on the site again, we'll know where they are immediately.
Nice, finally got this. :D
I know I'm none of this, but this survey seems amazing.

Great job, DT.
It says at the end what my username is on the DB. Can I just say Indigo or do I have to add the name decor?

And I'm gonna miss the controversial ban reports, lol. I understand this is a hell of a better alternative to the ban report.
Just Indigo is fine
Soooo the rule breaking associated to the site goes to the mods and editors of the DB, and the ones associated to the server to the authority of the server?

(Btw much in favour of this, great idea :D)
