Guiding you on appropriate use of the Report tool
Hi Waldo,

Thank you for being the second person to use the newly added Report tool in your report of this revision; however, as far as I can tell, that doesn't require reporting. In my view, this tool should be for reporting specific revisions requiring (a) revision deletion (after which an administrator would privately determine whether suppression is required after handling) or (b) reversion (i.e., blatant vandalism). I'd like to allow all registered users to use the report tool, but if it is misused too often, we may need to restrict it to patrollers, perhaps.

Cheers,

 * I thought anyone was allowed to report things that infringe upon user experience. Waldo (talk) 00:27, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the time to reply, and share you view; however, as you'll note when the extension was enabled, there was some skepticism as enabling it. Given that the "batting average" for the first two reports from users is 0 for 2, I do feel a change to which users can use the tool on Meta Wiki is in order. Note that this only affects Meta Wiki, and you can set whatever configuration for the Report extension on wikis on which you hold  rights, as this proposal will have no bearing on that whatsoever. It's just that the tool really is mainly to be used for reporting blatant vandalism or revisions requiring revision deletion (i.e., when a user has inadvertently edited while logged out). And, as always, users will be free to message any   or   whether on their user talk page or with Special:EmailUser to report such things. Hope that clarifies.

Civility
When interacting with others, you must be civil. We are all volunteers here, and you making hurtful comments to others about their use of time is never appropriate. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 06:50, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I already was informed about that by Dmehus. Also to answer your concerns about targeting you I would never do that and you were just being sensitive. I only used you as an example because you were the first to come to mind. It's not that hard to consider. I have no malice and I don't appreciate you assuming that.
