    Someone reports something as violating tribal rules. It actually doesn't and likely comes from a misunderstanding of the rules. You can't tell the reporter so they continue reporting which is a pain in the butt.

      That's one advantage i mentioned. I want to be able to get in touch with the down voters.

      @FrootLoops -

      Most forum software trying to do what snapzu does offer three responses to reports:

      Confirm : The report is good and is or will be acted upon. The user reported about will be penalized (in karma or otherwise)

      Reject : The report is wrong, spurious, or otherwise should not have been made. The reporter will be penalized.

      Ignore : The report is in a gray area. No one will be penalized.

      Ignore is good for those cases of "We should have a rule about that but we currently don't so I can't punish that person for it.".
