If you see a post here on the Spacetime Studios forums that you feel is in violation of the Forum Rules (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/misc.php?do=showrules), you can report it easily by using the Report Post feature.

Look to the lower left of the post, above the +Reply to Thread icon and you'll see a triangle icon with a ! in the middle of it.

325

Sorry if my paint skills aren't that great, but you can see the icon in the above picture. Just click that and give us a reason why you think the post is bad and we'll look into it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. As a newcomer to the forum, this will become very useful. Glad to see the devs strive to keep the community clean on all levels.

Mine's in the lower left as well. Thanks for this, I didn't realize this was here!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who was totally, impulsively tempted to press it on Samhayne's post to "test" it out. I wouldn't but just had that brief moment of temptation.

That is the most quaint and simplistically useful arrow I have seen drawn. Kudos.

List of things to do:

1) Resist reporting Samhayne's post
2) Create tutorial on drawing arrows and circles
3) Eliminate all humans
4) Distraction to gather attention away from "to-do" #3

I know this is an old post, but since it has been revived, I might as well add something useful to it.

Since tapatalk in now supported, I thought it could be useful to show how you can report a post with it.

I have added two self explanatory screenshots below. The language in the screenshots is Dutch, but I've written the English description with it :)

IM SO MAD NOW!
I JUST GOT SCAMMED!
HERES WHAT HAPPENED:
1.he says NO SCAM GIMME YOUR MONEY GIVE ME 2 minutes and ill double ur money.
2.me:ok here's 16596 gold double it ok?
3. Ok no scam gimme 2 minutes
4.me: waits 2 minutes later
5. He logged out.
6. Later i realize it was a scam!

Come on devs! You should add a safe confirm system trade
You know like if someone says 'ill pay u back and that dont' youd ban them and/or return the money to the rightful owner.
I have now been scammed 3 times! I DONT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO OTHER PLAYERS TOO.
PLEASE FULLFILL THIS REQUEST
thanks.
Yes i accepted because he says its possible and im not hacking i just 'happened' to believe him and because a friend of mine doubled him money before so i thought its possible so i gave him my money...

Now im crying
WWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

On a profile, there is a report button. You provide as much information as you can.
