Report the reporters

[Fellow Human]

My half joke suggestion is to add a rule against being an annoyance with reports...
Here's me, looking for a new fic to binge, I always check they're active, don't want no deid fics...
Then I finish reading and make a decent sized comment, no TFCT spam from me, no Siree.

I accidentally commented a couple times slightly over the 30 day limit, immediately some stiff got outraged and reported necro.
Geez, it's just one notification, clearly not from OP, ignore it if you don't care about comments or change your damn preferences.

If you were actually checking that they're active, you would know whether they're anywhere near being at risk of going over the 30 day limit.

There's story active and comment section active. Comments can extend the 30 day limit. Leave my rant alone.

Was the comment section active, or were you "slightly over the 30 day limit"?

Because those are kinda mutually exclusive concepts.

Sure, and there's story active and story active, depending on the story.

If you were checking whether the story was active, you would know whether the last story post was 28 or more days ago, which would tell you to double check the date of the most recent comment before posting.

Comments were a ghost town, just some on the same day of the latest update.

Or you could just let me rant, let the thread die and not nitpick. I see last update in February, I don't even realize we're already in the second half of March and I might be "necroing".
If the story hasn't been updated in multiple months or years, then I won't necro by accident.

First of all, no. Second, HELL no.

This will not be considered whatsoever. You break the rules, that's on you. Only staff see reports for a reason and it's to prevent that kind of idiocy about going after reporters.

Or you could, you know, go in the actual rants area.
