There have been a couple of posts regarding reporting people who spend time looking for cheaters to their workplace. They were in jest but a couple of people took them seriously and reported the posts.

This forum has never had a problem so I ask everyone to keep that in mind.

Yeah I know it seems silly, but please refrain from doing it for little ol' me and Frogman ok? :)

Don't threaten to turn people into their work places for being on hattrick.

The posts in question even had j/k in them and smilies, but still it was reported. *shrug*

So I guess the best way to handle it is ask everyone not to do it.

There I fixed the title so it makes a little more sense.

Umm... i was who made that joke, if i have made any bad to anybody i'm really sorry, but now that i have read it again i can't underestand why anybody could take it seriously, here is what i said:

what you guys have is too much free time, i'm going to need to report you to your boss as you're cheating the company, surfing HT at the office :p

Just a j/k, good job finding this cheaters that destroy the HT fun.

Mybe i need to add even more smillies or "j/k", I thought that the average humor sense and intelligence of the board members was better but seems i was wrong, anyway this won't happend again, i will think twice in the future before posting, i came here to this board to talk about my hobbies, HT and the NFL/FOF, and also to have some fun joking with ppl around the world, but from now i will limit myself to talk about "serious" stuff.

Don't worry about it Icy... as far as I am concerned it's a dead issue.

Oh, but I do, and it's ever so infuriating. Tracking down pointer errors is the most fun thing in the entire world :(

<-- Current CS Major

It was fun at the engineering job fair last week. Here's the typical exchange:

*cheery HR person* "So, what's your major"
*quasi-upbeat me* "Comp Sci"
*HR person looking like a family member had died* "Oh... I'm sorr-- I mean, we're taking resumes"

I would report him for having a serious pole up his, uhmm, nose. Don't sweat the small stuff as the saying goes.

I see a string of reporting that eventually leads to me forming...
