[HOW TO] Report & Check the user status!
What You need to remember: Simply making a new post or editing an old one adding request for close or infraction won't get the thing done. Anything from "close request" to "#close" will never help You close the thread, unless a staff member is checking the thread. What You have to do is click on this button (
). It's important to remember that You're not giving an infraction or close the thread Yourself, it's for staff members to decide wether the member shall be infracted and/or thread closed.Reporting itself: It's the simpliest thing ever, after clicking the
button all You have to do is write a short message, the best containing what and why are You reporting the thing that You're reporting, after that simply click "Send Report" button right below the box.What should I report?: Don't report everything and everybody, everybody makes mistakes. Before reporting think if the thing You want to report really is worth the time of moderators/admins, it's best not to report stupid people just because they're dumb and You should always report any kind of racism, spam and clearly offensive posts. Note for when You click on report says "This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts."
The image below shows You where's the report button, it's always at the bottom of the post, not right below accounts info.
GERMAN:
Zur Erinnerung:Wenn du "Please Close" oder "#/@Request close" schreibst o.ä. wird das nicht helfen den Thread zu schließen..
Wie man richtig Anfragen stellt: Der einzige Weg richtig zu melden ist, indem du
dieses kleine Symbol drückst, dann schreibst du was passieren soll...Ok, sagen wir du willst einen User wegen einem Regelverstoß melden.
Erst klickst du
, dann schreibst du was passiert ist. Zum Beispiel: "Der hat zu mir gesagt, das er meine Mutter fic*t".Jetzt bekommt der User warscheinlich eine Verwarnung. Denk dran: Der User wird nicht für alles eine Verwarnung bekommen und auch nicht sofort.
Thanks , Hope i help'd

It has been a while since i made this thread but I'm still visiting the forum and I can see that some of the members are even spamming threads for someone to answer them on board without knowing it's useless. This part will simply show You how to check if the user is online or not. Also i'll explain how to send a private message instead of spamming the thread which still may not give us the answer.
Checking someone's online status is as simple as logging in, i don't think that there's much to explain, all You have to do is to find a post of the person that status You want to check, if You have the person in You friend list You can simply click his account name and check for the button I'm going to present a little bit later. To find a person post You have to find the "search" option (it's hidden in right upper corner), then You have to click the function of "advanced search" then in the right You can see an option which says "find posts by user" all You have to do is write the nickname You are looking for. The green box means that the person is online, gray box means that the person is offline.
Private Message system is really usefull when You want to contact someone, You already know how to find the person You are looking for, now all You have to do is to click "contact info" tab and select "Send a private message to XXXXX" and You're done. Don't worry about the message, it'll arrive and the person will defeniately read it, everytime You get a private message a box informing You about it pop out when You login.
