In every other discourse forum you can flag a post as spam, inappropriate, off-topic or other. If you choose other you can then send the moderators a message along with your flag.
I think this is a very helpful tool and on the Fairphone Forum - where I am a moderator - itās being used a lot.
Btw, there is usually also an option to send the author of the post a PM about their post (without flagging it).
Well I am a āmemberā, just like on a few other forums where I can do it.
You are a āregularā and there are currently only 26 of you.
I donāt know if it makes sense to only allow a very select group to use this function.
I wasnāt aware of this option, itās not something that I have explicitly disabled/not enabled. I just spent some time looking through settings, and I canāt find anywhere to enable this for you. FWIW, I also do not have an āotherā option when flagging (but that might be because Iām already admin, maybe?). If you can find out how/where to enable this, Iād be happy to do so.
That makes sense and I guess you have good reasons to disable PMs.
Iāll just use the other options and wait for the moderators to contact me in case something is not clear.
Youāre always welcome to contact us directly if you have something specific on your mind. Iām pretty much online 24/7 on IRC (username āFresoāā¦ ) , so you can message me there (I may not always be around though, so donāt expect an immediate reply). You can also write me directly at freso@metabrainz.org or to MetaBrainz in general via Contact - MetaBrainz Foundation
I canāt seem to figure out how that works, but since itās not about anything sensitive anyway Iāll just stop beating around the bush:
I think this discussion should be split from post 9 on. Not because it is completely off topic, but because it is an interesting new discussion that deserves itās own topic title so people who might be interested will find it more easily.
