Allow Member Replies to Report Hacker Posts?

I can see why replies are disabled for ban appeals, but why is it disallowed in ban reports? It just makes it a huge pain in the arse to reply to the mods/admins about crucial details. plus, I'm pretty sure members should get SOMEWHAT of a say. Members (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) know more about what's a glitch and/or a hack more than LaserLag or Mash.

Just a thought

And I trust the members of this server about as far as I'd trust Richard Nixon with my wallet.

If there is a glitch we don't know about, then we're going to treat it as a hack until it can be replicated ingame. If there's a hack we don't know about, then you can include that in your original post.

If you didn't fit the crucial details in your original post, then you can go back and EDIT THEM IN.

And how often do moderators/admins go back to check every single ban report just to check if there was an edit?

That's a good point, I rarely ever check hacker reports that don't have a new reply/update.
I don't really see why members shouldnlt be able to make replies...

Thankfully, a brilliant man decided to think up something called a 'sticky post'. The sticky posts are designed to always sit on the front page of a sub-forum, usually because they have a nifty piece of information explaining something pertaining to the sub-forum. Kinda like... an explanation as to why a certain rule or regulation is in place, perhaps?

And son of a gun, we happen to have one of those right in our very back yard.

Mash, I've already read this before. I don't really see how this would block spam. Personally, I think that a bunch of people posting new topics saying "reply to blahblah" is more spam than just allowing them to reply to their own post. I understand what laser is trying to do with this, but I don't really see how it helps.

And why do we always argue so freaking much?

Well, first part you gotta take up with Laser. Was completely his call.

And we argue a lot because we're both argumentative and stubborn. It's a curse.
