Needed to be said. Well done Burbie. Hopefully something is done soon. That thing’s a mess!

The board shouldn’t need to be reported anywhere. There has ALWAYS been objectionable material posted on the Events page from what I’ve seen. A Moderator should be designated to clean the board daily and deal with the posters as needed.

It’s not like the Mods need to be directed to the objectionable material. Everything is right there in one place. Just deal with it. The process of checking the Forums or personal messages for reports would be more time-consuming for them.

I’ve never gleaned any important information from the Activity Board. There is usually too much rubbish posted for me to bother digging for anything worthwhile. I rarely spend any time in The Hub overall but certainly do not venture to the Activity Board anymore.

Yes we can go to the forums and do this I know, but that way to do it is onerous and many people don’t have a computer and a PS3 both and they use the PS3 for the browser, so that makes reporting this way impossible which means they would have to take the time to write down all of the info there then go out of Home and report it if they can get the browser to work. A direct one would be much better for all concerned and giving us the power takes a lot of the burden off their shoulders. I think the board is little used now because of what is on it.

We’ve been told a way to report the activity board on the psn Home forums. Write alin intended for the mod telling ur reporting the asid board. Go to the offensive post to have it on your screen and then send a report…
No. I agree, we need a dedicated report system for that board… minimum. But more than that. If you want to let whomever on home to publicaly post. You HAVE to monitor it some way. And not just once a day.What do you expect? It’s obvious a “tool” like that will be misuse and abuse. Either your willing and ready to monitor it the way it should. Or you dont put it there.

Yep, pretty much my experience voiced above me here; after trawling through what seemed like a sea of desperation I came to the conclusion that Home was indeed just a cesspool of lonely lesbians, idiot kids willing to die for a $10 PSN card, perverted old b*stards masquerading as younger people within Home and generally all the flotsam of life we’d rather ignore than do something about.

Since I pretty much felt sick after reading the “activity” boards that time, I just never bothered looking at them again. Hell, I hate these degenerates so much I actively avoid the news every day, just so I don’t have to acknowledge their existence!

Oh, I might just say; girls who like girls and unfortunately dumb kids I don’t mind so much really. It’s the pervs and peados I find hard to even think about.

You’re so right Burbie, these boards need serious attention by an official figure, STAT!

Call me dictatorial, but I believe that where ever the public at play can post anything like notices, I firmly believe that there has to be an ability for those who would be offended or concerned to voice an objection or at least file a report. We can police ourselves here, but with the activily board, lets us have an option to at least do so. There are too many people with less than admirable intentions that have no problem seeking their way that they could ruin it for the rest of us.Im all for watching what we say on Sony’s sandbox.

I haven’t read the “social” area of the Event Board since the first time I ran across one of THOSE ads. As far as I can tell the board is unmonitored and I’m not going to read filth like that to get to a few event notices that I might like to attend. I just depend on friends to let me know if I party is planned and I check facebook for third party developer events.

I’ve seen those unsavory offers on the activity board too. We all have. I am astonished that we have not been given a button to report improper content. An unmonitored board is a temptation for abuse.
