Reporting Categories

Can you not add "Racially and/or Religiously offensive" to the list of reporting reasons?

I suppose Abusive might do, or does that just mean ABers abusing each other?

[THECORBYLOON]

To me, "abusive" means offensive in tone usually directed at others on AB whilst ma category covers the xenophobic and anti-Islamic claptrap posted in the last few days.

What about openly homophobic questions posted by muslims??

No, they are allowed aren't they?

What about a "Pointlessly Politically Correct" option?

Actually the poster is a Christian. But, you have a point as there have been homophobic posts. To me these are equally repugnant as the racially or religiously offensive posts.
Whilst I personally like the idea of zapping any post that offended me, I suspect equally there would be many who would perceive my do gooding, liberal wishwashy, terrorist loving, pc etc attitudes worthy of zapping. Might end up with an awful lot of empty threads.
Not sure what the answer is. But, hey we are on answerbank are we not so someone should come up with how to manage this.

I'd like a 'likely to make me spit my coffee at the screen while raiseing my blood pressure to an unhealthy level and possible whiplash from all the shaking of my head' report button... it can't be healthy for me.

just click on any I usually do :-)

oh there is an advert next to this for recruiting Polish Workers, how cosmopolitan of AB.

[bednobs]

i think you should add a "stupid" report option too

[whiffey]

To be more accurate, the category should be "An answer I am ENRAGED about because it doesn't agree with my views and should not be allowed to exist"

It's a bit long though isn't it ?

How about "Politically Incorrect" ?
