The report being unactionable is fine. It's the culture of reporting that is the problem here. Stir absolutely believed it to be true, and if any member believed that situation to be true, they should report it, right? Are we all in agreement there? Or are we saying someone needs all the information to make a report- kinda dangerous if you ask me.
Like here's my understanding of the events:
- There's a thread about an age restriction of the forum, with one of the arguments being "the staff would handle anything bad if it came up"
- Stir makes a post about a situation he believes to be true that he doesn't think the staff would handle appropriately
- The staff tell him to report it, and he does, and the report is handled.
All of this is fine, though :
- this thread is made to basically say stir is an asshole for not trusting the staff and mentioning it at all (in a related thread)
^ this is the bad part that the staff proved they wouldn't handle a report appropriately about
- stir defends himself and gets banned because of it
^ don't really care about this, this is normal on mw
