"My Favorites"

Users can mark games or reviewers as "favorites".

Marking a game as a "favorite" will tell the system to notify you whenever that game gets reviewed.

Editing a Report

A report draft can be edited by clicking on the "edit" button next to the relevant report in the "My Reports" section of your user control panel.

Creating a Report

Although Bombing Reports, Reviewer Abuse Reports, and Comment Abuse Reports can all be sent directly from the review or comment in question, you can also create one from scratch by clicking the "Create Report" button in the My Reports section of your user control panel.

Rescinding a Report

While a report is still "new", the reporter can rescind the report by editing it. Editing a report changes it to a "draft".

The reporter can delete a report permanently by clicking the "delete" button on the "Edit Report" screen (can only be done while the report is either an unsent draft or sent but "new").


"My Reports"

All Mod Abuse Reports, Reviewer Abuse Reports, Comment Abuse Reports, and Bombing Reports are saved to the "My Reports" section of your user control panel. Reports not written by you but involve you are also visible in "My Reports".

Reporting a Bombing

NOTE: The report bombing button is an image of a bomb.
NOTE: A "# of votes / # of comments in the last 24 hours" meter is shown next to the "report bombing" button and should be used to help determine if a bombing has occurred.

"Bombing" refers to comment and/or approval/disapproval spamming of a review.

Individual comments on reviews can be reported by clicking on the "report comment abuse" button next to the offending comment.
