[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7403858, member: 12731"] [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION]: this issue doesn't go away. I'm going to report a series of my own posts where a user clicks laugh (yes, I know the button is called "laugh [I]with[/I] this post") even though my remarks are not in any sense made with humor in mind. In short, I find it impossible to interpret this as anything else than mockery. I am writing this post because I know you are busy and might have a mod handle the reporting, so you might not even see the series of reported posts. (I need to post this first so I can include a link in my reports for your moderation convenience) If you or your mods redtext the user to stop abusing the laugh functionality all is well in the world. But I am ressurrecting this thread to clearly flag that it is not a new issue, and it remains a serious one. I've gotten dozens of laugh points I could have done well without, and I feel that if I do not bring thus back up to your attention it will never stop. I can't be alone in getting these points that only burn. If you can't or won't moderate this behavior, please consider disabling laugh points - systemwide. (Please do not suggest I should disable the xp system for my own account - I am sure you realize that would amount to punishing the bully victim - "since you can't handle getting laughed at, maybe you don't deserve any xp at all") Thank you for reading. I remain hopeful you will take action against this kind of behavior. Regards, Zapp [/QUOTE]
