Friends, This is for the DevCentral team really, but hope it also helps others mention some issues or suggestions for site improvement. In the past few weeks, I have noticed the following issues: -...
Hey whisperer, Thanks for raising these issues! I'm going to reply to a couple of your points, and my teammate LiefZimmerman will reply to the frustrating error issues you are experiencing.
"Checking private messages, there is an option unde the gears for 'report as inappropriate'. However, I dont see a similar option for either a thread or a reply - currently we have a few threads about Fox news propaganda and muscle relaxantats."
Users can report spam and abuse by first clicking on the top right dropdown on post or reply, and then clicking "Report Inappropriate Content" and it'll send the post to a queue we manage daily M-F. We then double-check things, ban the spammer, and nuke their spam.
Did I blank out every name of the channel and provider? Yes, yes I did. No reward for spammers.
"I wanted to use a label 'devcentral' on this post, but was unable to. Additionally, I didnt see any specific forum section for posting these particular concerns. So if it does exist, moderators please move my thread appropriately."
Labels are reserved for the label options listed under the field, but you can use Message Tags to add something like a "DevCentral" tag (or an "AWAF" tag, "BIG-IP" tag, etc).
We generally expect threads like this to show up in the Suggestions Tab or for issues to get sent directly to the team, but it is totally OK that you originally posted in the Technical Forum. I'll move this thread to the Suggestions tab once this reply is posted. 🙂
Finally, thank you for speaking up! While we do our best to anticipate things, the only way we find out about a lot of issues is when users like you point them out to us. We really do appreciate members who want to make DevCentral a better place.
