Is that why I got reported?

I got reported a couple of days ago for telling everyone goodnight. Is that why? Because it wasn't actually a question. Please tell me that no one is that ridiculous to report someone for that.

    people who report people for silliness really have tooooooo much extra time on their hands and are probably the ones posting the violent/sex/drugs etc. questions and answers and should be reported often themselves..I was reported once for suggesting someone was bored....LOL so yes, you likely were reported for a nice gesture...next time ask it in a question...like...should I tell you goodnight? LOL

  • I got reported not so long ago for answer that didn't say anything bad i was just being sarcastic and all the people who had answered and said something bad didn't get reported i guess everyone is right there is some son of a #@%&*%^ out there reporting everyone for no reason! LOL

    nicely, you need to avert asking questions like this that are no longer astrology questions. in case you get a actual astrology question deleted, confirm to attraction it. i've got had questions restored. blocking off would not avert anybody from reporting questions. i do no longer know how that stupid rumor have been given began. I make a factor of in basic terms reporting people who've me blocked. lol yet on condition that they are harassing others or inflicting injury to minors. ;) additionally what your wording. "Scorpios, the place are you?" is chatting on account which you're no longer probably asking a query that demands understanding.

    Yeah...probably is...one of the rules is that the line of questioning can not be "chat" like...you can't have a discussion that goes back and forth. They suggest that you use their chat forum for just such an occasion. I wonder who would report you for that? Let me guess....the last person who got reported for it. Oh...and this is definitely an answer...so I don't get reported.

    Thats just dumb. Reporting somebody for saying that. Today I got reported, so I went back to the question and reported everybody in there including the person who did the question!! LOL

    Yes, they are. I got reported for that, and I also got reported for answering a question with a period. So, heads up. There are "reporters" everywhere.

    Sometimes people report others who don't even do anything bad, but don't bother to report those who are offensive. It doesn't make much sense to me. Try not to take it too personally.

    Maybe someone just pushed the wrong button?? Am I being naive?? I always try to be real careful because am afraid I might. No one would do that for good night.
