Report button

Just a quick question: will there be a "report" button for tracks?

As good as moderators and such are, there is no possible way that everyone can know every song - thus the need for viewers to help report stolen content, etc.

Yep, there will be! I've added it to the tracker: http://mlpforums.com/tracdown/issue/87-report-button/

 

Am contemplating whether to give it a few reporting prefixes, like "stolen content", "inappropriate content", etc. Any suggestions?

That's good to hear. (Not sure if you watched the Skype discussion about stolen content, but a few of us were thinking along the same lines.)

 

As for the prefixes, YouTube has a pretty good base for this:

• Stolen content
• Inappropriate content
• Hateful/abusive content
• Spam or misleading content

Those seem like the largest issues that could come about.

 

*Edit: Perhaps another one to consider is "not-pony content", although that could possibly fall under "spam/misleading content".

I don't think "hateful" should be a prefix. Even if it may be offensive, there are genres which can have some hateful lyrics. Like hip hop, thrash metal, and other genres.

• Stolen content
• Inappropriate content
• Hateful/abusive content
• Spam or misleading content

My vote is for:

• Stolen Content
• Spam or Misleading Content
• Non-Pony Content
• Harassment

 For the last one, I think a song about how much a specific user should kill themselves would be bad to have and would be over stepping the bounds of free speech. You can have hateful lyrics about other things as long as it isn't harssment or harassing a specific user or person.

While we're on the topic of moderation/abuse reporting: who is going to moderate pony.fm? I'd recommend hiring some more community stewards to help you do it once the site goes fully public. You could give all current staff moderator powers on pony.fm, but my concern is that they would be too busy with MLP Forums to be able to do much moderating there.
