NationStates Jolt Archive

What does it do?

I always assumed it was to report trolls, flamers et cetera, since in many places (i.e roads), the triangle represents "warning".

But in The One-Stop Rules Shop, it always mentions making complaints through the Moderation forum or the Getting Help page. Never the triangle.

So what is it there for?

It's a Jolt thing that we would dump in a heartbeat if we could. It sends an email report to a random assortment of mods (but not all, or necessarily any, of us NationStates mods). I get those Reports from a variety of non-NS forums, and I've set up my spam filter to delete them on arrival. They're worthless, annoying, and spammy.

In short, don't use that feature. We've got our own methods.
