why do some people....?

why do some people get on here and start reporting people for every little thing?

not a question...reported!

this is a statement....reported!

if it says right there in the headline "this is a statement, not a question", do they check it out just to report you? why don't they just go to another question?

    I will never understand other peoples intolerance for others.

    If I come upon a question or a statement that I don't like, I just go to another one.

    Some people just like to make trouble because they are miserable and they are not happy until others are miserable with them.

    i only flag things that are obviously inappropriate, like when someone puts a porn clip in their question, but it is annoying to see the boards racked up with "statements". '360' is for blogging and making statements and 'answers' is for actually answering and asking questions. people are seeing your "statement" and then checking to see if you've included an actual question in the details, and find themselves miffed to see yet another person mis-using the forum. half of the questions are political or religious statements, which is not the purpose of this space. its a drag to have to go through 10 -15 of these things just to find an actual question. if you have a rant, that's what a blog is for.

    Yeah, no kidding. I've gotten reported for some really stupid things too. So much so, that my account got locked out and i had to start a new one.

    Because these people have too much time on their hands. Only time I ever report people is when they are advertising or when they are using foul language.

    They feel small and have nothing better to do. This makes them feel bigger. If it really bothers you, report them back.
